RapSheet says Nelson Diagnosis is torn ACL

[Bretsky]

ANY WAY we can get Charles Johnson back ?? He looks like a keeper in MN

Would be nice to have a weapon at TE now.....we need to get Backman back and run the ball with Eddie more now IMO

I look for Adams to emerge and Montgomery to contribute a lot more now. Janis doesn't look like a football player once he starts playing.

Too bad Abbrederis is probably done. At Wi he showed a lot of the skills (sharp route running/back shoulder catches/deceptive football speed) that we lose with Jordy. If he could stay healthy he's contribute this year.

The chemistry between Rodgers and Nelson is something that's been developed over the years. And it's a thing of beauty. You don't replace that in a month or even a season.

Your posts on this topic have been very good.

The Packers are not going to "recover" in the sense that they will be as good as they were before the loss of Nelson. Of course other teams will suffer losses too.

The "Lacy would have been worse" chorus have a point - but not a big one. The dropoff from Nelson to whatever player comes on the field in two wide receiver sets - Adams? - is pretty far. Lacy to Starks is roughly similar.

My interest in the season is not diminished a bit. They will be a very good team.

[Bretsky]

Pretty good comparison.

It really is; both receivers could only really run one route well. Neither had great football sense or ran good patterns. At this point Janis IMO needs to improve to get as good as Schroeder. White guys who can run fast.....everybody drools thinking they can be great. But eventually they have to learn to run routes or they fizzle out

Where is all this doom and gloom coming from people it is ridicules will nelsons injury hurt us no doubt but hes just one player in a cog and we can survive it.
In fact i was looking at the archives and some of you doomsday predictors were the ones saying if he wanted over 10 to let him go because with all our new people and Cobb we were in fine shape with out him,we are deep in receivers lets hope they play as good as mm says they can.

One other thing if they do start missing him to much they will just change the game plan is all workable as long as a-rod does not got hurt that would be the end of the season for the packers for that yr. Flynn is gone not sure abut tolzien and the other teams would not be afraid of either and our offense would get killed.
With that being said get well soon nelson we all love you and support you 100 %

They will be fine. Send the white boy deep, or, if that isn't working out, the GOAT deep threat of all time is out there looking for work. He may not run a 4.2 anymore but I have no doubt he could get it up for a year and catch some bombs.

It is fated. Bring in Moss.

Starks is not as good as Lacy is by any stretch of the imagination.

With Nelson out. Let's see how good @AaronRodgers12 really is. #Packers ��

Jermichael Finley @JermichaelF88 15h15 hours ago
EVERYONE!! I worded poorly, meant to say, you'll now see how good @AaronRodgers12 is. Prayers to @JordyRNelson. R E L A X

I believe him.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Saying we're doomed now is about as spot on as draft grades the day after they are done.

This. Johnson is an animal and the conditions under which he left the Packers is exhibit A in the incompetence case against our training staff.

Thank goodness for Adams but a 3rd high caliber receiving weapon would make a huge difference IMO. Last year when it was more or less a Jordy + Cobb show the offense would disappear at times. I expect we'll see some more of that inconsistency on O this season, especially when we face halfway decent secondaries.

Anything we can get out of Montgomery, Janis, White and/or others is huge.

Packers reportedly interested in Reggie Wayne, though that’s not how they usually roll http://wp.me/p14QSB-9PFp

Normally, this report is a spot on clue that the Packers are not interested.

[yetisnowman]

So your argument is that TT did a bad job with the WR group? Like having the deepest WR in the entire NFL was a fuckup?

Seriously, I know Mad was upset once when I suggested certain people should refrain from posting because they are stupid but.....

I'm stupid you are cool. having depth and having a good starting lineup are 2 different things. Since Driver,Jennings,jones, all moved on WR depth has been an issue. You may have noticed Ted has drafted 4 in the last 2 drafts. I didn't say TT had done a bad job with the Wrs just that he made a mistake not bringing Jones back or adding another vet via free agency the last 2 years. We could have integrated more 4 wide sets, had a solid backup to our 3rd wr and (cough cough) had some flexibilty if a player missed some time with an injury. I said this summer and last summer. But twist my words and call me stupid. I am stupid but at least i know what depth means.

Bringing Jones back would have been expensive and might have prevented Adams from getting the necessary time last year so that he could be poised for a breakout season this year. It doesn't make sense to sign vets who can play (Jones) but who you hope not to play (because you want to develop Adams) based on the possibility that someone might get hurt. Those signings count against the cap, and when guys who can play are forced to sit they become malcontents. Right now it might make more sense for TT to go out and sign a veteran, assuming there is one out there whose treads aren't worn completely smooth.
