Love on the other hand, has a bit of a longer delivery, a necessity given his longer arms, but he is also not as agile as Rodgers was... The play-action builds off of gap scheme are more befitting to Love's game. The run-action is more vertical, giving Love a more traditional dropback structure, and also allowing him to target the entirety of the field rather than cutting it down by two-thirds.

STACKED’s take

Love's longer delivery and lower agility favor gap-scheme play-action over Rodgers' bootleg system.

Jordan Love differs from Aaron Rodgers in ways that affect offensive structure. Love has a longer delivery due to longer arms and is not as agile as Rodgers, making him less suited to the heavy outside zone play-action bootlegs and deep half-boots Rodgers ran. Love's game is better served by gap-scheme play-action with more vertical run-action, giving him a traditional dropback structure and full-field targeting. Love has thrived with digs, crossers, and short posts where he can layer throws with velocity, his primary strength.
