I mean the Packers see him every day in practice. Mahomes had one start before the Chiefs moved on from Alex Smith, but yeah they obviously saw what he could do in practice. And now that the Broncos went for Russ says a lot more about Love. Hackett was Love's coach for the past few years, if he thought he was worth trading for he would have traded for him instead of Russ given how much cheaper the acquisition cost/contract cost would be for Love.
And I have seen enough from Love that he doesn't have the NFL arm talent to be elite. It's one thing if you're Trevor Lawrence or Zach Wilson and you throw tons of picks, but also show the elite throws. Love, even in limited action, didn't show he could make the throws. You can improve poor decision making, you can't improve the ability to make the big throws. You either have it or you don't.
