Will Wide Receivers Hold Back This Offense?

[Zool]

There are WR's that will be available that would really help us and I'm betting Gooter is calling and inquiring.

I think AJ Green will command a 1st or 2nd round pick.

I would be a fan of a mid round pick for a guy like Emmanual Sanders so we have a legit #2 when the Fresno Freak comes back

Who cares about the 32nd pick? Go get a pro bowl receiver to pair with a pro bowl receiver.

A wanker is a wanker is a wanker. MVS ain’t gonna morph into Javon Walker as the season loses its lust.

He may not have to do any morphing to be as good as or better than Walker.. As a rookie, MVS was more productive than Walker as a rookie. More receptions, more yards, higher ypc, more TDs, longer longest reception, more of everything, except fumbles. MVS had fewer fumbles than Walker.

Yep exactly. AJ Green for the next few years is easily worth what they'd get at 32 if they win a chip in the process. Even if they don't - at least they went for it.

Salary cap, people. Rodgers and Adams will have a combined salary cap hit of 49 million next year. The Smiths another 30 million. Can't afford another 8 figure salary for a WR. Having 2 Pro Bowl WR's is a luxury the Packers can't afford.

Packers have over 9M in room still this year. Next year isn't too bad especially if they get rid of Graham and use the 8M cap space for a good WR.

Recipe for success might be to stack the defense, give AR decent OL and then ask him to make chicken salad out of chicken shit with younger, cheaper players.

When you have a 35M quarterback, something’s gotta suffer. I think I’d rather it be receivers than defense.

I am sure Packers can talk the Raiders or the Browns to eat some short term cap.

Get back to me when MVS catches 89 rocks for 1382 yards and 12 TDs in a season.

The cap always be cooked, but if you want a good receiver cheap, draft one in the 2nd round. Worked wonders for Todd.

Don't draft a fucking center.

[Radagast]

Relax fellows, the sky ain't falling.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Hmmmm...not sure....but they also have some great receiving RB's and with Both Hoody Geniuses one of the best offenses still.

Edelman
Josh Gordon
Philip Dorsett

Undoubtedly I'd take Adams over all three. But right now they would be my 2,3,and 4 ahead of any other Packer WR's

Word.

Before the season began, I posted that I believed that the new offensive system would be a work in progress. It has been just that.

The temporary loss of Adams, GB's #1 WR, has actually been something of a cloaked benefit for the Packers. It has forced the offense to focus more on the running game. Also, at the same time, the receivers have not had to compete with Adams in practice/games and are ahead of where they would be with a healthy Adams.

Jamaal Williams return from his concussion should see LaFleur/Rodgers more inclined to run the screen pass to the RB (Williams) more. It could serve to elevate the play of the offense still further and take some pressure off of the WRs/TEs as the RB would require a LB or Safety to cover them.

I see the Packers building, brick by brick, a solid offensive machine. Additionally, when Adams does return to duty, he'll rejoin an offense that will be better than when he left with his injury. Gutekunst and LaFleur, IMO, are ahead of where most thought their efforts should bear fruit. Injuries, especially to Adams, are being worked around and the team has adapted enough to compensate/accommodate different offensive areas to produce a 4 - 1 early season record.

I'm overjoyed to see the Packers Defense playing so well. Yes it took a lot of resources to build it , but it is already producing great results. I'm quite sure that the next player/s acquired will be WRs. However I don't foresee that happening until after the season ends. GB's receivers may not be all pros, but they are leagues ahead of any new additions that would need to learn the Packer's offensive system. They may not be superstars, but I see weekly progress moving forward.

4 - 1 , stop bitching and celebrate the change/success that GB is/will continue to enjoy. One very close loss to the Eagles, a strong team, is no reason to hang your head. Instead, realise that GB used that loss to improve areas of deficiency. Be happy about today's good fortune and quit whining over things that you can not control.

Don't worry, be happy !

Gute agreed with you this offseason.

I doubt he agrees with you next.

Nothing wrong with cheap, young, new talent.

GBs offense , while not boasting Super Talent (except Rodgers/Adams), but they are getting the job done. Mortgaging the future to trade for a better WR at this point would be wrong. Not only would it damage the already fragile confidence that the receivers have been building up with their QB, but any new personal would have to learn GB's new offensive system. I see the offense progressively getting better each week and to fool with whats working is just not done in sports. IMO, GB's receivers are getting better each week and to screw with them at this point would be crazy.
