There were plenty of reports that Jordan Love had a terrible training camp. He showed a few flashes of potential, but more often than not, he left everyone wondering - Why did GB trade up to draft him in the first round? He didn't look like a first round QB in practice.
Does that mean he is a bust? There is no way to know at this point in time. Especially with COVID-19 impacting practices during preseason camp and during the regular season this past year.
Love's season was nearly identical to Eason's. He was Green Bay's QB3 and didn't see much practice time this year.
When everyone was speculating about Rodgers future - the article below mentioned that if Rodgers left, Tim Boyle (their back-up QB) would be more suited to start games next year than Love. Hopefully Love learned what it takes to be a NFL QB and has determined what he needs to work on this offseason so that he is better prepared for next season.

Is Love ready?
Nothing he has shown, at least publicly, would suggest that. But that's no surprise given that he has taken third-string reps going all the way back to training camp. Reporters are allowed to watch only one period of individual or group drills during practices. But even during those viewing sessions, Love has struggled with accuracy -- in the drill where quarterbacks throw to a stationary target (usually a net) and to players running routes on air (without a defender).
Backup Tim Boyle would be more suited to play in 2021 than Love. There's also the possibility that the Packers could trade Love like the Patriots did with Jimmy Garoppolo. That would be one way to tell Rodgers they're committed to him long-term, and then they could try again with another quarterback in a future draft.
