Don’t forget one of those games we were even coming off a bye. Both games we were at or near 100 percent health as much of the season. While the Packers were busy creating controversy trading premium resources away for a back up QB the Niners got two 1st round talents to fill immediate holes. This is why I was so upset after the draft. We also got potentially worse at RT and ILB. It will be a miracle if Kirksey stays healthy for the whole season. Literally nothing has been done to shore up the run defense.Originally posted by RashanGary View PostPicking two games in a season as the tell all, end all might be equally ignorant
The probabilities tell us we won’t be as “healthy” this year and the schedule is much more difficult this year as of now. If you think Allen Lazard is gonna be the ultimate equalizer in all of this then “WOW.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a level of Homerism. Outside Adams our receivers suck. This doesn’t mean we won’t find a way to win some games but the front office has done little to nothing to address the Packers glaring needs.

How about this?Originally posted by RashanGary View PostPicking two games in a season as the tell all, end all might be equally ignorant
Emanuel Sanders signed a 2 year, $16 million dollar contract for this year, $10 million guaranteed. In 2016, he got $20 mil guaranteed.
Do you see any of the WR not named Adams getting this kind of dough?
Any number of them could become functional. But as TJ Lang, tweeted recently, you can tell who belongs right away. I don't think we have seen that with any of them except possibly Lazard. I suppose ESB has a chance in what will likely be his second full year.
On your side of the equation, the Niners before Sanders were getting pretty paltry production from Goodwin and company.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

You do know that James Jones was our 3rd WR for all but 1 year when the whole receiving core was out with injuries and we were able to pick him up?Originally posted by RashanGary View PostThat's not what I said at all.
I think Lazard has a good chance to be a James Jones level talent. Adams and Lazard could be pretty good. I like MVS on a long field because of his speed and ability to track the ball. I don't like him in tight spaces, but Funchess could be used more in those situations. I think they're improved over 2019 because of Lazards growth and then MVS and Funchess's complimentary skillset as alternating #3s.
This is the 2020 Packers not any other team from any other era. It's about using what we have.to their best abilities, not trying to recreate something else.
Aaron Rodgers talents and the solid OL help bring it all together.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Tramon Williams was brought into Houston, cut before the season started, brought to Green Bay. Then he was a spot player for a year and then nickle.... He showed some things early where you thought he had a chance. Eventually he got a couple big pay days, probably a better db than Sanders was a WR. If you asked after his second season if he'd command a big contract, you'd probably say no.Originally posted by pbmax View PostHow about this?

It's just hard to judge a player after his first or second year in the league.
Honestly, it could go either way with Lazard, but my being hopeful is no more invalid than someone who's doubtful.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.

Yeah. Those were some prolific passing offenses. Jones could be a number 2 on a more balanced team.Originally posted by ThunderDan View PostYou do know that James Jones was our 3rd WR for all but 1 year when the whole receiving core was out with injuries and we were able to pick him up?Formerly known as JustinHarrell.

I was hopeful MVS would be more complete last year. I was wrong. I'm hopeful Lazard will be better this year. I could be wrong again.
In no way do I know what's going to happen or claim to. But I get hopeful about the Packers and look for the ways they could be better. It's no different than Rastak being hopeful about his Vikings (even though I'm doubtful for.thsy young defense)Formerly known as JustinHarrell.

Touche! Brandon, no one's gonna change your mind or mine! Being right all of the time wouldn't be fun for me if there wasn't people like you to create contrastOriginally posted by GB-Brandon View PostI don’t think the Kansas City Chiefs would argue that!!!
