Will Wide Receivers Hold Back This Offense?

[RashanGary]

They’ve been worse than I thought. MVS timid in traffic and doesn’t seem to go get the ball if it’s contested at all. Allison.... just bad. Kumerow, just not doing much. Shep and Lazard rookies...

I had higher hopes for MVS and Allison. Adams going down doesn’t help matters .

Without Fresno, teams don't have to roll coverage anywhere. I'm starting to run along-side the trade for AJ Green train. What a boon that would be to the O if he's healthy.

Not passing enough on first down is what's holding the offense back.

Not passing enough on first down is what's holding the offense back.

They are doing it 60% of the time already. They are currently 15th in the league in that category. Compared to the Chiefs who pass 64% of the time and are 10th, and the Rams are 5th at 67%.

Just to compare, SF is passing 43% of the time on first down and they are in last place in that category.

So I really don't think that's the issue.

In my opinion, the athletic ability of the WRs, TEs, and the RBs is certainly a factor that along with the QB's skills are needed for a successful passing game, However their success or lack there of lies with the game research that proceeds the forming of every game plan. It takes into account not only an opponents strengths/weaknesses, but which receivers/pass patterns to best exploit those tendencies. Like most things, good or poor pre planning can determine the end result. The big question therefor is GBs underachieving passing game the fault of poor execution or poor planning? I believe it is a combination of both and improvement needs to be the order of the day.

The svncranisity of the QB / Receivers needs to be focused upon in practices, while better research would improve the game plans.

Crabtree? Dez, son of Anita? J-Nel? Any of these graybeards would be an upgrade over any of the wankers currently on the roster.

Do your fucking job, German Shepherd! Get a fucking receiver!

I agree that the Packers Receivers could use an upgrade, however that will not take place this season. In the meantime as they await the return of Adams, I believe that Graham (yes Graham) and Tonyan will get more targets / receptions. Allison and Valdez-Scandling should also see more targets too. Also, J.Williams return from his concussion could see a few more balls thrown in his direction.

Not to take Detroit for granted, but I expect more passing and a little less running in this game. It will be as a result of more practice in the pass area prior to their MNF game. I mentioned Tonyan before, and I feel like he is going to have a star quality performance.

[Bretsky]

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

A wanker is a wanker is a wanker. MVS ain’t gonna morph into Javon Walker as the season loses its lust. Kum ain’t gonna morph into Adam Fucking Thielen. Sloth ain’t gonna morph into Anquan Bolden.

What hurts the most is, Gutekunst had his pick of the litter in the 2nd Rd of the last draft. Metcalf. Brown. Hardman. Isabella. Arches-Whitside. Campbell. Did I mention DK Metcalf?

Took a fucking center instead.

The pessimist says that Pack ain’t got the WMDs to beat NE in the next Super Bowl.

[Teamcheez1]

NE has worse receivers than we do.

[Radagast]

Elgton Jenkins (G) was GB's 2nd round pick and their 3rd player taken in the 2019 NFL draft. He is proving to be a great choice. Sternberger (TE) has not lived up to his 3rd round choice, but Tonyan may prove to be a real peach.

With Adams injured, GB is without it's only real #1 WR. That said if the 4 and 1 Packers can use the time that Adams is sidelined to get their receivers more game and practice targets with Rodgers, it can only result in better Receiver/QB chemistry. No Green Bay TE or WR or RB, IMO, with the exception of Adams is a #1 player for their position (as receivers). Aaron Jones is getting it done at RB this season, but even he is not a star receiver.

I'm seeing improvement with the receivers and wish them all well. I foresee no changes until the season ends and then hope to see GB grab 1 to 2 WRs early in the 2020 Draft. I don't see the GM scrambling up a fragile core of receivers until the end of the season.

I'm not sure when Adams will be 100% ready to play.

[Bretsky]

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

[texaspackerbacker]

Any of you guys remember when a lot of people were calling Adams the Fresno Fraud? I have to admit to being one of those who was down on him. The point is, it takes time in most cases for a WR to reach his peak. Valdez-Scantling performs as good and has the potential to be a lot better than Adams in his early years. Allison is what he is, but he ain't near as bad as some in here whine about. Kumerow, Lazard, Shepherd, St. Brown when healthy are all unproven at this point, but out of the four, I'd bet at least one or two of them prove out as quality starters.

I was thinking same as somebody said - Green would cost a first or second round pick, and no way it would be smart for the Packers to give up near that much to get him.

AJ Green...#2 WR. That should strike fear into any defense.

No, their offense sucks. They get a ton of scores from D and D setting them up with league leading # of turnovers. That offense really isn't anything special (or good). Plus they get to play the dolphins like 7 times this season it seems.
