MVS is the most polarizing player on the Packers right now followed by Preston Smith.
MVS has a bunch of deep passes caught in his first 2.5 seasons. He’s been hit or miss and streaky at best. He’s an oddly effective blocker for being so skinny. He gets in the way and tries hard and doesn’t get called for holding.
MVS also drops short to intermediate passes with alarming regularity and it’s even worse when it’s mildly contested. His route tree is so limited, it’s crossers and seams with nothing in between.
I, the resident homer, do see his strengths being highlighted more once Lizard is back. He’s a huge liability now, but I expect him to be big down the stretch if he can settle into a more limited role and asked to do more of what he’s good at and taken out when the situations don’t fit his skillset. A big play specialist I guess is what I’d call him.
Preston is the next most polarizing player. He’s made some big plays, mostly last year. He seemed to have come into the season a bit out of shape. His speed rush, that he was winning with last year is non existent.
Preston is however stable in the run game, has made the occasional flash play and looks surprisingly fluid and effective in space.
I, the resident homer, don’t see him as a long term piece. With King looking expendable and Jones too, and maybe even Bakh on top of that, maybe you keep him one more year and cut ties after 2021. He, and kirksey, are at the top of the cut list if you want to keep Bakh though. I don’t see Bakh commanding the dollar amount he wanted with the Covid affected free agency and I’d be more than happy to sacrifice kirksey and Preston to keep the sacred cow
