Jordan Love debate sparks backlash against Fox Sports co-host

During the NFL offseason, hot takes continue to circulate about the league's star quarterbacks, including the Green Bay Packers' Jordan Love. Expectations are still high for the QB, who is following in the footsteps of Super Bowl winners Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.

Love is entering his third season as the Packers' starter, and there have been constant comparisons between him and others at the position. One of the most recent involved a debate stirred up involving his NFC North rival, the Chicago Bears' young star Caleb Williams.

The initial take arrived from Pro Football Focus and suggested that the ceiling for Williams is Love. However, a more recent take on Fox Sports' First Things First stirred up fans who blasted the critic for his remarks.

While appearing on the show, FS1's Danny Jankins delivered a surprising take in which he suggested Williams is better than Love. Yes, that's what he said.

"How bout this? Caleb Williams...already better than Jordan Love. How bout that?" Parkins asked First Things First's Kevin Wildes and Chris Broussard.

"Jordan Love has played the majority of two seasons. Both of those seasons, double-digit interceptions," Parkins said, adding, "Caleb Williams played 17 games last year, had six [interceptions]."

Broussard and Wildes immediately disagreed with Parkins' take. However, he persisted, indicating that Williams "took too many sacks" and "the offensive line was playing guys who were on other teams' practice squads at the beginning of the year."

PFF's floor for Caleb Williams was "bust," which Parkins argued is "off the table."

"If you watched Caleb Williams, there's no earthly way you could believe that that guy is gonna bust," he said, referencing his impressive touchdown-to-interception ratio.

Broussard said that he doesn't think Williams will be a bust, but he needs to be "very good this year," and if he struggles this year, then "bust is on the table."

Parkins' remarks about Williams and Love stirred up plenty of fans who fired away at him in the YouTube video's comments.

"I am aware that the teams are different, but before we begin Jordan-love analogies, Caleb must qualify for the playoffs," one commenter wrote.

"Hard to listen to Parkins talk about football," another YouTube comment said.

"Danny is getting really good at the whole rage bait thing," one commenter suggested.

"Dude 11 interceptions is not even high what is Danny’s argument," a commenter asked.

Many commenters also mentioned that Parkins is from Chicago, which likely contributed to his suggestion that Williams is better than Love. Most likely, it was designed to grab attention, and it certainly did that, although many commenters seem to be calling for Nick Wright to return to the show ASAP
