Stop the presses. Marshmellow Newhouse is really the starting left tackle for Tom Brady?????????????????????

That is why pin point passer Brady only managed 9 points on offense.

Do we REALLY have 3 WR's on the Packer Roster that run better routes and offer more than Trevor Davis ??????????????

Not a high standard, so I would say yes, absolutely.
Trevor Davis contributed nothing as a WR. I would take any of the current roster WRs over him.

As for punt returns, Shepard looks very much more comfortable and confident fielding the kicks than Davis ever did. He looks natural, Davis looked like he struggled to field them cleanly.

Kickoffs, who cares. Rarely returned anyway.

I thought Davis looked OK and was a guy who actually got open in the preseason

I'd take Adams and MVS over him for sure. Allison....not sure...he's a JAG imo.
The others....pass.

Davis contributed nicely for Da Raiders as a rusher and returner. Chucky must like him. Time will tell

I will say that I saw Davis's TD run. It was blocked so well no one touched him. My sister could have scored on that play.

Too many good jokes about scoring with your sister here....I can't pick just one.

Not surprising when you get four snaps and one target.

I suspect there was a reason he got only four snaps and one target, and why he rarely played on offense other years.
I will be shocked 8f he turns out to be a hidden gem, or eve a serviceable WR who plays regularly.

I know, I know. But he looked better this year. Was hoping he would pan out. I'm sure Gruden will make his bank on the back of Davis. lol

Allison may be JAG, but he has been JAG who has come through every now and then in regular season games, including a couple nice plays against the Eagles last week. Davis hasn't ever done that as a WR in regular season games.

As for this preseason, what did Davis REALLY show? Did he really show more than Kumerow, Shepherd or Lazard? I don't think he did. He had 5 receptions with a long of 20. Shepherd, Kumerow and Lazard had 9, 8 and 6; with longs of 22, 22 and 27.

I'll take Kumerow over Davis as a WR. He did more in just five games played last year as Davis had done in 29 games his first 3 years with GB.

I'm a believer in the opinion that by his fourth year, except in rare cases, a player is what he will be. With that in mind, as a receiver, Davis is nothing. I'm willing to give Shepherd and Lazard chances to show what they can be. I was willing to take both over Davis after the preseason.

I won't be surprised if Davis has some good kick/punt returns. He is fast, with some quickness. That said, I held my breath everytime he fielded a punt. After just 2 games, I already feel a lot better with Shepherd back there.

He did have a single important catch when Rodgers threw to him. Honestly, the major plus I saw to him was his speed. Thought it would get him open in ways that might help the entire offense. Agree with you on the fielding of punts. He does have more return potential than Sheppard, but also re-turnover potential. Oh well, I'm done thinking about it now. Reminds me of hoping that Travis Jervey will turn out to be a good running back.

His best moments came from sitting down in a hole in the zone. He's an odd duck.

… or Jeff Janis a good receiver, although Janis did have his moments.
