Brandon Marshall says Packers wasted Rodgers career

[bobblehead]

A tidbit for GB-B:

In the past 5 drafts, 62 receivers have been taken in rounds 1-3.
31 teams have drafted at least one of those 62.
I think we all know the only team that did not draft at least one

But in fairness for a lot of that time we had 3 former 2nds on the roster at WR. (Nelson, Cobb, Adams). For all the time until this year we had 2 former 2nds. And again, I'm not against drafting a WR or signing one. I'm not thrilled with Gutes at all. I'm a TT fan, always have been. I'm just sick of the tantrum being thrown, so I want people on record....hell, all people, not just Brandon. I stated my case. The draft didn't fall our way to draft a WR. I would have taken Queen. I think our offense will be top 12ish and good enough to win an owl. Like I said, you win with Defenses unless you are drew Brees, he is the exception who won an owl with a 20th ranked defense.

At 6’2 I’m not certain Deguara will survive in the NFL as an every down “IN-Line TE”. He might have some value there on 3 TE sets but I see him being used as primarily an H-Back and expanded fullback role.

To me LaFluer is attempting a virtual copycat of Kyle Juszczyk of the Niners here.

Agree....but given what SF accomplished, is mimicking their style such a bad thing? Besides, Flower is a disciple of the shannahan tree so why wouldn't he.

It’s beyond a legitimate concern.

Also, this is way beyond the 2020 draft. I think that’s where your also missing the point. Gute has had three drafts and offseasons to bolster and rebuild the position group and has done next to nothing.

He put himself n a position of weakness and leverage by putting the need off until the 2020 draft IMO.

Yeah, That's why I call Lafluer "Bitch Boy" because he got smacked in the face so hard by Shannahan and was so jealous of what SF did to him that he wants to be that so badly.

Well see how it plays out.

I'll go with on record as being okay with Love. High risk/reward pick for sure, but the odds of a rookie late first rounder making the difference between a SB win and anything else is very low.

[GB-Brandon]

The “Love Pick” was just the Cherry on Top of three years of Ignorance regarding the receiver position.

[GB-Brandon]

To me everyone got Bambooozled!!!

The team and offense was struggling under McCarthy. Things were getting stale. Thompson was deteriorating mentally. Somehow Capers was allowed to be incompetent for years.

People were finally ready for some CHANGE!!! Well we got change alright and I’m not sure this is the change most people thought they were signing up for. Gute/LaFluer are using the firepower and credibility of a 13-3 season now to complete their agenda which I believe never really included Rodgers or having a high octane offense with weapons around him. There draft and personnel moves prove their true agenda.

Now we’re stuck with this plan which is in full motion which will most likely just makes us another normal team like the Tennessee Titans. I don’t see any “Greatness” in LaFluer or Gute or any of them thus far. At least with Thompson you could say “Greatness” was being executed in the beginning. I don’t believe that is the case here.

All we’re doing here is building a copy cat K-Mart version of the Niners.

Man this is so spot on. Did Rodgers resign under Gooter? I almost wonder if the lack of WR depth is part of a ploy to make Rodgers look bad so they can move on. This is the worst receiving corps in the league IMO. Adams is very overrated in my opinion and is closer to the 10th best receiver than the best receiver.

Yeah, Gute re-signed Rodgers.

Adams is one of my favs. Loved him coming out of Fresno State. Amazing talent. Has one hole in his game and that’s “Deep Speed” which could push him closer to the 10 spot like you posted. It’s debatable. He is still one of the best in the league hands down. His ability to cut and accelerate out of cuts and flip his hips makes up for some of his deep speed limitations.

Regardless, you put a talent like Antonio Brown(as an example) opposite Adams and it’s game over for opposing defenses with AR12. To me it’s a chance worth taking all things considered. If you can take a chance on running AR12 off with the Love pick then you can take a chance on a 1 year deal on Antonio Brown to make a run while Rodgers is still here.

We shall see!!

[GB-Brandon]

According to these scouts “Aaron Makes our Mediocre Receivers Look Better” outside of Adams so not sure how Aaron is “Part Of The Problem”. Maybe Gute should get off his Ass and do something like GET SOME LEGIT TALENT TO WORK WITH AND QUIT FUCKEN PRETENDING!!!!

The thing that I don't get is next year is a WAY better QB class than this year. At least on paper. There is nothing about a guy who sucks at Utah State (I know he had no help) that lights my fire. Great QBs make the players around them better. I doubt he ends up being anything but you never know. Why not wait a year and have much better options. Justin Fields, Trey Lance, Trevor Lawrence, etc. I'm excited to see Love but I'm not optimistic.

[GB-Brandon]

They think they got the next Super Star QB so I suppose that’s why they did it. I’m not as optimistic either.

What really irks me is they have no problem taking significant risks in regards to other things. Dropping over 120 million on Edge rushers in free agency. “No problem”. Using the 12th pick in the draft on more a less a gamble on a unproven player in Rashan Gary. “No Problem”. Trading up in the draft for a Safety , QB and ILB. “No Problem”.

Get Aaron Rodgers some help on the Perimeter? “Nope, Not worth the risk”. Lol

INSANITY!!

[Bretsky]

I'm going to stay on record that I was fine with the pick of Jordan Love; but he was very very very different from TT's brilliance in nabbing Rodgers. Rodgers fell right into our lap and TT gambled and let a high end prospect fall to him.

On the other hand, Gute traded a 4th round pick to move up to an area when he might not have needed to and probably overpaid IMO. And in doing so he basically gave up the ability to move up and draft Denzel Mims. So our WR are still patheic.

So overall I still don't like it.
