Packers' Campbell defends Love following media criticism
Green Bay Packers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell stood up for teammate Jordan Love after the quarterback received some harsh criticism from CBS Sports Network host Adam Schein.
"Ain't no way you just got on here with that baggy-ass Steve Harvey suit and them thick-ass Dollar Tree glasses and disrespected my QB by saying he can't play football," Campbell tweeted. "He only has one career start, let him play at least half a season before you open your big dumbass mouth."
Schein ripped into Love's performance during the early portion of training camp and questioned the 24-year-old's chances of being a productive passer.
"I loathe Love. Despise Love. I mean, everyone looks great during preseason practices except, apparently, for Jordan Love, who by his own admission has struggled," Schein said Friday.
"This is going to be a predictable disaster with Jordan Love in Green Bay," he added.
With plenty of young players expected to contribute and Love's lack of experience, the Packers' offense has struggled during camp.
Love, who's set to take over as the team's full-time starter following the departure of Aaron Rodgers, said he's tuning out the naysayers.
"A lot of it is staying off social media right now. It's training camp so it's not like we have a lot of time anyways," Love said Tuesday, according to WBAY's Adriana Torres.
Love has limited experience through the first three seasons of his career. The former first-rounder has passed for 606 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions while earning just one career start while backing up Rodgers.
