Jordan Love has provided the Green Bay Packers with a lot of encouraging signs that he is ready to take over as the team's starting quarterback, but per Packer Central's Bill Huber, Love has completed just 56.0% of his passes throughout camp, thus far.

By our count, Love has completed 56.0 percent of his passes in camp. – Bill Huber, Packer Central

That number is obviously well below last year's league-wide average completion rate of 64.2%, but the Packers -and their fans- shouldn't be worried, too much, about Love's accuracy.

The main reason is because, unfortunately, there have been a decent amount of drops throughout camp. Jayden Reed. Christian Watson, and others have seen plenty of well-placed balls go through their hands. It even happened during Thursday's practice with the New England Patriots when rookie tight end Luke Musgrave dropped what should've been an 18-yard touchdown. 

Then, on top of that, the Packers aren't game-planning for practice. They don't do that in joint practice, either. For starters, the team held a walkthrough after its first joint practice with the Cincinnati Bengals and sure, it may have watched tape of Wednesday's practice with the Patriots, but they didn't go into full game plan-mode like they would during the regular season. Everything is executed in real-time and no one knows what plays are going to be called, for the most part. 

"I think there are more looks in joint practices. I think the defense has given us more looks that what they might do in a preseason game," Love told reporters after Wednesday's practice. "You know, they're trying to work things as well and we're trying to work some new concepts. So I think you dive a little bit more in the playbook…

"… I think all that stuff will help when we have a game plan where you're able to game plan throughout the week and you kind of see different looks on film. Going into a day like today, you kind of don't know what they're going to throw at you. So anything's kind of open."

As we saw Friday night against the Bengals, Love completed 7-of-10 passes and that included his nine-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs. Sure, Love misfired on a third down attempt and it's a throw he wishes he could've had back. But every quarterback in the NFL -even Patrick Mahomes- has at least one throw like that per game.

Sure enough, that performance followed the closest thing to a game plan at this time of year. So it's not a surprise that Love looked good, overall.

And of course, Love is adjusting to his first year as the full-time starting QB. 

Think about this, as well: Outside of Aaron Jones, it's not like Love has a plethora of veteran weapons to rely on, either. All of the starting/top skill players are in their first year, or at best, their second year. Literally everyone is not only learning each other, but they're still figuring out how to carve out success in the NFL.

However, one would be amiss to forgo mentioning Love's NFL sample size, even if it is very small. He's completed 60.2% of his passes over his first two years, which includes a strong 66.7% completion rate, last year. The context of his play must be put into full view, though. His reps have come either during mop-up duty or they've followed an Aaron Rodgers injury – Love only has one start in his career.

2022 featured Love's best performance, yet, when he went completed 6-of-9 passes for 113-yards and a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12.
The best part about that performance was the fact Love was able to move the Packers down the field in a situation where the Eagles knew the offense had to throw the ball and Love obviously came in cold after sitting on the bench until the fourth quarter.

It's not like Matt LaFleur's offense can't provide good opportunities for solid play, either. Love can really be effective if everyone can click quickly; based on how the offense is set up

The main point is as Packers president/CEO Mark Muphy said earlier in the year, we won't know anything certain about Love's game until the midway point of the season. And even then, there will still be room to discuss whether or not he overcome his slow start, keep improving on a fast start, or something in-between the two. 

This is a young offense and it's learning and growing together. Until the Packers kick off in Soldier Field, there's not a lot of reason to worry too much about Love's accuracy, right now.
