Adam Schein trashes Jordan Love; De’Vondre Campbell defends Packers QB

Jordan Love hasn’t taken a preseason or regular season snap in his first year as the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers and he’s already being written off as someone who “can’t play football.”
Really? That’s a little extreme and premature after a couple weeks of training camp practices, isn’t it?
We know bold predictions are nothing new in sports media and everyone wants the next biggest hot take so they can start trending themselves.
And with Love going from Aaron Rodgers’ backup the last three years to starter, there are plenty of commentators looking to tell everyone “I was right on Love.”
Adam Schein, who hosts a daily radio show on Sirius XM in the mornings and then a weekday TV show on CBS Sports Network, was the latest to offer his “expert” commentary on the Packers’ 24-year-old quarterback.
What did Adam Schein say about Jordan Love?
“I loathe Love,” Schein began in his vitriol of Love during a segment titled Love or Loathe on his “Time to Schein” show.
Schein was just getting started.
“Despise Love,” he continued. “I mean everyone looks great during preseason practices except apparently for Jordan Love, who by his own admission has struggled.”
Love, whom the Packers selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft to be Rodgers’ eventual successor, and coaches have acknowledged there will be growing pains in 2023.
Some of that has taken place early in training camp, which isn’t surprising with a new quarterback at the helm, along with several other younger offensive players, including rookies, stepping into prominent roles this season.

“You have players on defense calling out the offense,” Schein added. “This is a flat-out debacle. It’s also predictable because Jordan Love can’t play football. Simple as that. You have Rasul Douglas, he’s talking all sorts of smack to Aaron Jones saying you guys bleeping stink. Jones is livid and then acknowledges the offense is terrible. Defensive players are calling out the offense. Jordan Love can’t do a damn thing.”
Schein was referring to Douglas dishing out trash talk to the offense in training camp on Thursday during a 2-minute drill. There was no fight, something you do see from time-to-time during NFL training camps. But Schein was worked up over some trash talk.
The defense has won five of six competitive periods in which coach Matt LaFleur has the losing side do Vince Lombardi-era drills as a punishment.
On Thursday, the offense won the day so when Douglas was chirping, according to Journal Sentinel and Green Bay Press Gazette reporters, Jones, one of the veteran players on offense, made sure his defensive teammate knew that.
“I told (Douglas) the offense won the competition period, and…
