The Green Bay Packers are confident in Jordan Love as their starting quarterback and are not worried about the position. However, as with any NFL team, an injury to Love could jeopardize their playoff aspirations.
Currently, Sean Clifford, a second-year QB from Penn State, is Love’s backup. Clifford saw limited action last season and has had the majority of the first-team reps in the preseason. Despite this, his performance has been underwhelming, prompting some speculation about his future with the team.
FanSided’s Sayre Bedinger suggested that Clifford might be cut before the season begins. Bedinger argued that with veteran quarterbacks like Ryan Tannehill available in free agency and others potentially becoming trade options, the Packers should consider making a move for a more reliable backup.
Clifford, who had minimal playtime in his rookie year and has struggled this preseason, will have one final opportunity to prove himself in Saturday’s preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens. After that, the Packers will need to decide if he can be a dependable backup or if they should seek alternatives. Bedinger is skeptical about Clifford’s chances of securing the backup role.
