2020 Wide Receivers

[RashanGary]

I Try.

You weren't here, but I thought MVS was gonna be a legit #2 all last off-season. If you're right, I'll crown ya man. I ain't here to stir shit and never tip my hat.

[RashanGary]

Pb was right last off-season. The receivers bit us in the ass.

[GB-Brandon]

Hats off to Pb. I shared the same sentiment last year but I’m sure you already knew that.

All I can think is Gute has another move up his sleeve. I’ll be rooting for Lazard as hard as anybody.

[pbmax]

I hate the offseason.

I might be almost as excited about the Cowboys season (McCarthy) as I am the Packers season truth be told.

I am really rooting for both success and failure down there.

[bobblehead]

I don’t think the Kansas City Chiefs would argue that!!!

The Chiefs don't have the best WR core in the league. I would argue its barely top 10...what they have is the single best QB in the league right now, and no one has argued that that doesn't give you a huge edge.

We know now what you claim you believed before January 2020, but we have no idea what you actually believed.

Boy they definitely have to be in the conversation with Hill, Watkins, Hardman, and Kelce.

If you count Kelce as a pass catcher then together It’s “Elite”. They typically have guys running wide open all over the field. There offense is explosive. They can score fast and quickly and from anywhere. Mahommes is great no doubt but the Chiefs have done an amazing job putting the necessary talent and pieces around him. I give John Dorsey a lot of the credit for this.

I wish the Packers would of followed the same blueprint.

It's would have, not would of.

Agree 100% ... and while I was very disappointed and shocked they didn't draft one if not two WRs, I can't do anything about it except cheer for who they have and hope they develop.

I am very curious to find out if ESB or Begelton show anything, and whether Lazard truly makes a leap. I think it would be optimistic to expect all three to show up, but it's certainly possible if not likely ONE of them does.

MVS has always been a raw talent and project, and it's possible he'll develop just like he might turn into Darius Heyward-Bey. (Or Torrey Smith.) I don't think he's a #2 WR... he probably shouldn't be a #3 either. I think he's a #4WR who you hope can play some ST's and worry defenses with his deep speed. Guys who run 4.37 at 6-4 are uncommon.

The problem is GB doesn't have a clear #2 WR (Funchess? Lazard?) and lacks an heir apparent to Adams on the roster. Maybe that player emerges this year, or maybe Gute finds one after/during roster cuts, but that's a fairly big ask.


As for the KC receivers... they are very good. Remember what Matt freaking Moore did to the defense once Andy Reid figured out he just needed to get them the ball on easy throws and make a play?

[RashanGary]

Im a fan of kc receivers. Perfect for for Mahomes in his prime.

We have Rodgers, still has enough legs to be as good as Brady or Brees in tbeir prime. And knows football. He's not Mahomes in his prime, just as good In different ways imo.

Rodgers, a generational field general at this point, who can move a little too. A balanced team is the perfect team for AR to lead. He can pick apart defenses with runs and passes.

I see what Gutebag is doijbg and curious to see it play out. Lazard, Sternberger, Dillion, an improved Jamaal Williams who looks like an elite 3rd down back and Deguara who can get a piece role.... Plus Jones and Adams and a chance of one of the other young WRs taking a leap. 2nd year in the offense, mostly returning players from a year ago in a offseason shortened by covid......

I like their chances, honestly

[texaspackerbacker]

I'll compete with you here too, RG hahahaha. Rodgers is the GOAT - period. Brady may be the only QB ever who threw it as good as Rodgers and he wasn't even on the same planet in terms of mobility. Mahomes is a little more mobile than Rodgers ever has been, and he throws it damn good too, but not quite up to Rodgers level. And Brees falls a little short throwing and not even close in mobility. The greatest thing of our GOAT, though, is his mindset - absolutely not putting it up for grabs. All of those others are good that way too - above average, but way short of Rodgers.

Getting back to the topic of the thread, though, Rodgers has done it with lesser receivers and has throughout his career made good receivers rise to near great. Hopefully he has enough left to do that with Lazard and maybe St. Brown and Valdez-Scantling.

[GB-Brandon]

My concern with Rodgers is the 13 screws and steel plate in his throwing shoulder. I’m not sure we have seen elite type Rodgers play since the surgery. We’ve seen flashes of it but it hasn’t been consistent for periods of time like in years past where he could get it done with the likes of Jeff Janis and Abbrederis and R. Rodgers. I sometimes wonder if it has messed with his mental timing and velocity of throws along with his accuracy. There just appears to be lapses in his normal superior arm talent. There also appears to be a difference in play from Rodgers leading right up to the injury to post surgery. Remember, the big contract extension was done the offseason after the surgery.

I’m hoping this isn’t the case and that he just needs better weapons at this stage of his career.. My thinking was get him some elite talent at the WR position to overcompensate for some of this and make one final run. It appears at this stage the Packers are choosing the approach of taking the ball out of his hands more with adding a power run game while grooming his successor.
