Marquez Valdez-Scantling and Preston

[GB-Brandon]

What’s funny is you have finally admitted after all this that “Our Offense Would Be Unstoppable” with another competent receiver but yet now your gonna grasp at straws about “other players feelings” etc etc if the Packers pull the trigger to bring one in.

Re Preston Smith - just before the bye, there was an interesting article about his (lack of) pass rush stats. The point made was that he is playing a very different role this year than last. Last year, Fackrell was the OLB most frequently used to drop into coverage. With Fackrell gone, Preston Smith is picking up most of those responsibilities. His pass rush opportunities are way down this year compared to last. Coach comment was they needed to find ways to give him more pass rush opportunities.

Kamal Martin PFF Grade “77.3”. He is gonna be a star for us!!!

[GB-Brandon]

Everything is in place. Go get a WR!!!

I expect more effort out of him as the noise was getting loud as well.

Re: MVS - when you are the second most experienced guy in the group, if you aren't an asset, you ARE a liability; and no, he has not been good for a 5th round pick. He's not even a real asset on deep passes because he is so inconsistent. Just because he managed to catch a few doesn't make him an asset. I read a scout or someone comment that he does not seem to track long throws well. This would explain the large number of missed opportunities when he does seem open deep, but he and Rodgers do not connect. Throw in his penchant for dropping catches he should make, and he is not an asset deep, either.

This is a guy who has had an extraordinary opportunity in GB. Young players don't always get the opportunity he has had. He has done nothing with it. In just six games this year, Adams has already missed 2 games, Lazard has missed 3, and MVS has managed to get just 15 receptions playing with them and without them. He had similar wide open opportunities last year, and as a rookie. For his career, he is barely averaging 2 rec/game. He needs to turn it around soon, or be moved aside to give others their shots at making an impact as part of the upper group in the WR combinations.

Yeah, he had a great opportunity against Houston to turn it around too. Instead there was the out pattern where he seemed to be in the wrong place AGAIN which annoyed Rodgers and then the critical drop that stalled yet another drive. When MVS finally “Costs Us A Game” are people going feel Good like we did some great Noble thing?

This guy has been given so many more chances then I can remember any Packer receiver and mainly because the talent drop off after him is significant so they keep swallowing the poison pill and that’s on Gute. At the end of the day nobody should feel guilty about bringing in a better and more accomplished player and telling MVS he has been demoted and feel bad about it. MVS has had way more chances then many many many other talented players trying to make a football team. Once again, this guy is a 5th round pick out of South Florida with some straight line speed so I am not sure how high the expectations should of ever been. He is basically a bigger version of Trevor Davis. I just don’t understand why so many fans have been so enamored with MVS.

[GB-Brandon]

What happens is when MVS can’t make plays against Houston then Rodgers doesn’t trust him against teams like Tampa Bay. It’s that simple.

NEXT!!!

I like Preston Smith. He was good last year. I do think he came into camp out of shape, but he’s getting better. I expect a good finish to the season from him.

People know how I feel about MVS, so I won’t beat that dead horse.

[texaspackerbacker]

I don’t care about “Winning Seasons” Tex. I care about “Winning a Super Bowl”

Get with the program!!

Second place trophy’s don’t mean shit to me.

I know that's one point of view, but it ain't mine. Consistent winning seasons - as the Packers have had for nearly 30 years now, that's what it's all about IMO.

Well buckle up! Packers are gonna make a trade and go all in and try and win the whole damn thing this year!!!

[texaspackerbacker]

Nope. I very much doubt it happens. I Googled Tate and found out the Giants are shopping Zeitler. I wouldn't mind at all getting him.

[RashanGary]

Got your big signing. Seth Roberts to the practice squad!

Patience!!! The “Big Trade” is coming. We’ll put you in charge in looking MVS eye to eye and telling him “He Sucks.”

Don’t want the locker room going sideways!!

[GB-Brandon]

The thing about MVS is he ran his mouth all Off-Season too. Appearing on NFL network and acting like he was some established Big Dog offering opinions and all his tweets. If your gonna talk a big game then please back it up.

Nobody should feel sorry about the Packers looking to replace this guy.
