Ever since he made it to the league, Jordan Love has been nothing but a subject of controversy. Taking a QB in the first round of the NFL Draft made people think the Packers were ready to move on from Aaron Rodgers, and it's not like he's been impressive early in his career.

But as much as people have criticized him, the Packers organization and even Rodgers have vowed their support for the Oregon product, who may finally make some strides and take a leap forward.

Recently, Rodgers admitted that the situation kind of reminded him of when he first entered the league. He was Brett Favre's backup for three years, and people also called him a bust before he actually got a chance:

So, Rodgers would love to see his backup embrace that sentiment and mindset. He's looking forward to watching him play in the preseason and finally prove what he's capable of:

That would certainly be a good use of preseason snaps. At least, he believes it would make more sense than having the starters suit up for just one series:

Moreover, Rodgers clarified that he wasn't trying to send a message or take a shot at Matt LaFleur, and claimed he trusts the HC to do what's best for the team:

"I think it's kind of a no-win situation to the outside of the building," Rodgers added. "If somebody gets hurt [it's], 'I can't believe they played our guys.' But if we go out and have a stinker [it's], 'I can't believe they didn't play them.' You've just got to do what's best for the squad, and Matt's going to do that."

So, things worked out pretty well the last time a backup QB took over a future Hall of Famer at Lambeau Field. Will it happen again? We'll have to wait and see.
