Davante vs. Rookies

[bobblehead]

Well, it would seem Davante might be regretting his decision to leave GB.

As if we didn't know hiring that fuck-wit McDaniels was a bad idea.

This from the comments:

Since the Packers drafted Adams, the Packers record in games without him on the field is 10-1 and Adams record without the Packers is 0-3.
Just sayin

As is often the case with the Raiders decision making I was flabbergasted they didn't give Bisaccia at least a one year deal.

Their loss and our gain.

We now have a great head coach and great special teams coach. I think Barry is ok at d, the rest of season will possibly change that opinion.
All I know is I bet we are looking fir a new st coach in a year or 2, other teams will try steal him.

In fairness to the LVR, hiring the interim HC has historically not worked out well for teams. Plus McDaniels is a sexier hire.
However, getting that team (with Ruggs, Arnette and Gruden drama) to the playoffs last year was no small feat. I think he'll get interviews at a minimum if not a chance to be HC next year, assuming the ST stay on this trajectory.

Doubs is gonna have a year. And as this OL gets settled in, we’re gonna see a couple bombs to Watson too.

yeah he coupld drop 15 and fumble away another 8 or 9

maybe get that elusive double double as a rookie

Week 4

Adams 9 rec on 13 tgts, 101 yds and 1TD

Doubs 5 rec on 8 tgts, 47 yds, 1TD
Watson 1 rec on 3 tgts, 8 yds, 0TD rec, 1 rush 15yds 1 TD


At the approximate 1/4 mark of season

Adams 26 rec, 47 tgts, 290 yds, 3 TD, 2 rushes, 0 yds, 0 TD

Doubs 19 rec, 24 tgts, 184 yds, 2TD, 1 rush, 11 yds, 0 TD
Watson 6 rec, 10 tgts, 51 yds, 0 TD, 2 rushes, 22 yds, 1TD

[run pMc]

Haven't seen enough of Watson yet, but he has serious speed.
As for Doubs, I think 2024 Doubs could be a monster, but he's got a way to go to get there. This year will be a roller coaster but there's definitely a lot of upside with these two that the team has to figure out how to unlock.

[run pMc]

Week 5
Adams 3 rec, 7 tgts, 124 yds, 2 TD, one angry outburst

Doubs 3 rec, 5 tgts, 29 yds, 0 TD
Watson 1 rec, 1 tgt, 1 yds, 0 TD, 1 rush, -3 yds, 2KR, 35yds, 1 sore hamstring

Doubs has played over 85% of the offensive snaps each of the last 3 weeks.
Watson either has Packeritis or took the wrong notes from Sammy Watkins in the WR meeting room. 2 hamstring injuries and knee surgery is not a great start. I still think the kid's got a lot of talent (and upside).

Sad to see Davante so dejected. At this point both him and his ex Eeron are wishing they didnt break up.

Still cracking me up after all these years, Red.

They need to throw the damn ball to the rookies. They need to be option 2 and 3 on the offense. You gave up a lot to get Watson, give him the ball on a route instead of being Tyler Earvin.

[texaspackerbacker]

Lost in this conversation is that MVS had 6 catches for 90 yards in the game against the Raiders - and of course, his team won.

Doubs is a terrible route runner and Watson is softer than an impotent rooster. Gonna take time and a lot of trial and error to get the two rooks seasoned.

Gee, tell me Partial, who was that incompetent GM who took 21 “can’t cover nor tackle” Savage and the Fucking Center who is toothlesly trying to play tackle over DK “Black Hulk” Metcalf?

Lazard is the worst #1 WR in the league. Packers could use Metcalf right now. Sign OBJ already!
