I'd settle for #3.

Maybe Matthias, not Christ or even Paul.

Maybe signing a second round WR (Packers don’t
Like first round WRs) free agent would be a better plan.

I read about a rumor that we might trade for Curtis Samuel of the Panthers - 4.31 speed and just 23 years old. I'd like to see that a lot more than trading for Aiyuk.

don't think we're getting Aiyuk, but i"d take him over Samuel for sure.

At this point beggers can't be choosers. I'll take Sumuel

Predictions

Davante Adams will play in the slot a bunch
Lazard will be our #2


After that, it's gonna be a bunch of guys mixed and moved around depending on situation.

Clearly they have decided to go with size rather than blazing speed. I and maybe some others in here would like some smaller faster WRs, but we're not the ones getting paid to make the decisions. And despite all the whiny shit talked by many in here, I can't help but think Aaron Rodgers is in on the decision process - remember, he heaped a lot of praise on Lazard, and Adams - who really isn't a burner - is far and away his favorite. Kumerow too, to a lesser extent. MVS, on the other hand, as fast as he is, doesn't seem to be on Rodgers' good list.

Myself, for years I thought and said we needed to get more size at WR. I could see this group being at least as good as Jennings, Nelson, Driver, and Jones. I'm not saying they are there yet, but other than Adams, they are just starting out. I'd argue Adams is better than any of those four from 2010.

I've read posts by somebody in here maybe blaming Whitted for things like poor route running/not getting open. I see a lot of pretty lame-assed receivers from other teams get open on us. Maybe our DBs are just worse, but I suspect it is because whoever is designing pass routes for us has been deficient. That is part of the WR coach's job description, right?

Holy Sh@t Tex; you deserve this...dumb@ss..........

They aren't as good as the 2010 and 2011 group. They might be better than we're giving them credit for.

Now that is interesting... nice post! Still not overly optimistic about our wr, but that is interesting.

Adams, of course, gives the current bunch a head start. I doubt even ya'all detractors would disagree that he is better than whoever would be considered the best of those 2010 guys. I have always thought - and the careers of the 3 who left the Packers give evidence - that the greatness of Aaron Rodgers made these guys seem way better than what they were. Jordy in his pre-injury years might be an exception, but Jennings and Jones commanded big money elsewhere and generally disappointed the teams paying them.

I, for one, have a high opinion of Lazard. St. Brown is a clean slate who sure looked good before he got hurt. And I still have hope for Valdez-Scantling too - how could you not have hope for somebody 6'4" who runs a 4.35 40? Even Kumerow looked good for a bottom of the receiver group UFA. And Funchess, who I really didn't want, who knows just how good he can be with the GOAT throwing it to him?

Damn straight I'm drinking the Kool-Aid. You pukes who refuse, how did that negativity work out for you last season? Or basically any season where Aaron Rodgers has stayed healthy?

So ……

Devante in 2018 for a full year 111 catches 1,386yards 13 TDs 12.5 yards per catch
Jennings in 2010 76 catches 1,265 yards 12 TDs 16.6 yards per catch

[MadtownPacker]

Interesting stats considering Adams earns his yards shaking and baking while Jennings more of a deep pass big play type.

Damn. I'm rooting for The Bagelman.
