Receiving corps(e)

[Joemailman]

Favre must have blocked out his performance in 2005 when he had no receiving talent around him.

Actually he had Driver in the prime of his career. The bigger problem was that they had no running game due to injuries at RB. Samkon Gado led the Packers in rushing.

Yeah they lost Javon Walker & Ahman Green (for the year), Terrence Murphy (forever), Bubba Franks and Robert "Turd" Ferguson (multiple games) to injuries. It's miracle Driver lasted 16 games. When Antonio Chatman is your 2nd leading receiver, it's no wonder you're 4-12. IMO their current roster is more talented with better depth on both Off & Def, and MLF is a better coach than Sherman. WR/TE is a tough place for rookies or young players to step up but it's not out of the question. Curb your expectations though.

I liked Deguara as a Day 3 prospect, his problem is he was overdrafted. Also blowing out his ACL and being 6-2 doesn't help but he's an HB and if used correctly can be productive in some matchups.

Lazard just posted some workout pics saying (grinding all summer) on Twitter. He looks to be in great shape. Ive been down on Lazard having a big season, but Im changing my stance. 1,000 yards for Lazard. Book it.

7 of the last 10 super bowl winners have had average wr at best.
6 of the last 10 super bowl losers have had average wr at best.

Last couple of years have made the whole we equation go stupid....

I bet the correlation between wr quality and wins is lower than almost every other posotion group, including sexual teams.

Sexual teams are highly underrated.

Totally in on The Lizard.

Do you have any film that backs that up ?

He's a very subpar number one

But maybe if he is GB's 1 AROD gives him a shitload of targets, he plays 17 games, and averages about 60 yards per game. That gets him a thousand, right ?

Yeah. Of all the years we worried about receivers, nothing compares to this one. Im on board this time.

But if the running game is top 5 and the OL holds up for 12, I imagine hell be able to make due.

Yup, our WR'ing core is hurting. Above all years, we'll test the AROD makes everybody around him better this year. It'd be amazing if he thrown, say 35 TD's and about 6 picks for 3600 yards. that would be a great season for him and then we have to depend on the running game and defense to excel.

I was very on board with Julio Jones; but then in hearing mediaheads chat he has a reputation for being a guy who really doesn't want to practice much. We don't need that in GB.

GB porn means green Bay highlights, RIGHT?!?

Also it think 12 gets 3800 yards 40 tds this season. Lots to Jones dillion and cobb

[texaspackerbacker]

No no no. The Packers receiving corps is NOT hurting. Lazard is what he is, for better or worse. He won't be #1 - what will be Watson. But Lazard will be effective in both the passing game and the running game, probably getting near or over a thousand yards. Watkins, Doubs, etc. plus the backs and TEs will all contribute. Rodgers will have another MVP year, and the Packers now more diverse (but still pass first) offense will be feared as much as ever.

[RashanGary]

Every team in the NFL is pass first. From Tampa 68% pass all the way to Philly 51% pass, every single team is pass first. The Packers fall right in the middle at 58% last year.

I could see the packers drop a little from 58% pass to maybe 54% pass and be in the top 10 of most run heavy offenses in 2022. Theyd still, like every team, be pass first but theyd be one of the most run oriented teams in the league.

OK Tex time for me to knock some sense into you and let's just call a spade a spade . THe Packers have one of the worst WR'ing groups in the NFL.

They also might have the best RB due in the NFL; and that combo just might work

[texaspackerbacker]

hahahaha Just keep thinking that and be pleasantly surprised. Watson is gonna be a super star sooner rather than later - mark my words. Everybody including him will be their best selves because of the GOAT throwing it to them and an excellent running game to counter the passing.

That offense and just a mediocre D would put the Packers in the top 4 or 5 in the league, but with the excellent D that we should have, I don't see anybody in the whole league as good as the Packers.

Watson has the talent to be a superstar, but it's rare for a rookie receiver to be a star, especially with Rodgers demanding perfection.
