Will Wide Receivers Hold Back This Offense?

[texaspackerbacker]

I don't think we need a WR. However, getting a star quality player on the cheap is never a bad thing. I absolutely would not trade a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th round pick for either Green or Sanders. 5th or lower, maybe. As for Antonio Brown, I don't think the Patriots are stupid. There has to be something they know that caused them to cut him right after signing him - probably more legal troubles due to surface. Even if Brown is signable in terms of not being suspended, I wouldn't pay him near what the Patriots were gonna pay him. Somebody said $2 million ....... that's probably a dream on situation, but for that much, he'd be worth a try even with the baggage.

I kind of agree with Tex: I wouldn't trade a R1-4 pick for a WR, unless someone was dangling a really good player (e.g., Julio Jones).
I also think the Pats aren't stupid and that Brown is still out there despite his talent speaks volumes about how toxic he is...and probably what NFL security knows. I wouldn't want him on the team -- how do you explain to at least 30-50% of your fanbase that you are ok employing a known locker room problem and alleged rapist? Please keep McGinn from dusting off his "what price glory" opinion piece. Do you want MVS, Lazard, and Sheppard around that guy and learning his bad behaviors?

I disagree with Tex from the standpoint that we don't need a WR. We need any receiver to step up. We might be able to squeak past a few teams, but that's an 8-8 team that beat Dallas unless Graham find the rejuvenation machine, Adams gets healthy, and MVS develops into a solid #2 option. I suspect no good offers materialize for Gute to jump on, and he expects the WR we need to emerge from the group they have.

Doesn't seem to have hurt Justin Smith-Schuster Smithington-Smythe

1st and 3rd for OBJ?

1st and 3rd for OBJ?

No. I would be agains handing over a 1st. This team still has holes. Need to be a relative bargain and since they don't have to be a dominating WR, I think you could find one.

The Titans pass offense is just horrible

I wonder what it would take to get Corey Davis

CAPTAIN OBVIOUS POST

Gooter might wanna get on the phones this week

[red]

theres a certain former packer whos not doing anything these days, and has a great relationship with our QB

hes not gonna be a long term answer, or a world beater at this point, but he might be able to be an actual #2

[texaspackerbacker]

hahahahahahahaha at this whole thread. If we had paid too much to get Green or whoever, who woulda got cut? Almost certainly Allen Lazard!

I say again, in the words of the top hit song of 1965, "Let's Hang on to What We've Got"! One of these games, MVS is gonna have a break out game. One of these games, Kumerow is gonna play like he did in preseason. And yes, one of these games, Shepherd is gonna start to look like Cole Beasley or whoever. And soon, we'll have Adams back.

[pbmax]

Not me, I was dumping Shepard. Possibly my best dumb suggestion of the year.

Assuming he is fundamentally healthy (need a physical and history to determine if he is simply getting older or just a run of bad injury luck), trade for Emanuel Sanders.

4th round pick in either of the next two years. I might do a 3rd in the future (2021) if I believe the Defense will continue to get results.

I would consider better picks for AJ Green, but publicly they refuse to speculate about trading him and the price might be astronomical. My range on Green would be restricted by his cost and injuries this year. By the time he is healthy, he might sink in pick value.

Stick Shepard on the PS. I find it amusing you think a WR needs to be the TOP to justify cutting the 53rd player on the roster.

Thats the drum I been pounding. Plus Corey is young and knows the flower O.

And thats actually reasonable given the circumstances.

Maybe a good suggestion, but it wouldn't have happened because Shepherd is clearly the designated punt returner now that Davis is gone.

I still think, one horrible game not withstanding, Shepherd has a bright future too - and horrible game not withstanding, we DID still win.

[Fritz]

Tex, why can't you overreact like the rest of us?

And do you realize that after winning this game, the Packers are going to have to go 1-9 to meet my 6-10 prediction? God, it's going to be awful.

[texaspackerbacker]

hahahahaha as I say quite often in FYI, sucks to be you.

I have liked Shepherd from the first I saw him in the preseason. He reminds me a lot of Cole Beasley who I saw with the Cowboys, now with Buffalo or even whatshisname that filled that role with the Patriots. I always thought Randall Cobb was not very good in that role.

I like to think I have mellowed with age and don't overreact any more hahahaha. I can see where some might occasionally disagree, though.
