Davante can’t do it without 12.

Enough clownspeak, the real question is what could Davante have done with number 10?….

Won a bunch of games this year and last, probably.
Also would have absolutely screwed up the salary cap, cost them Quay and Christian Watson (picks from the LV trade), and blocked younger WRs from getting live snaps to help them develop.

I love Davante and he's a great player, but I'm fine with how things are shaking out. I think he's getting a bit of a raw deal in LV with losing his BFF Carr, but he's still a top 5 WR and probably loving being close to the West Coast.

He can do just fine.
Here's a better one: How much do you think Lazard and Cobb are enjoying playing with Zach Wilson?

The man was perhaps the best Packer wide receiver I've ever watched, and that goes back to being a kid and seeing Dowler and Dale, James Lofton, Sterling Sharpe, and on and on. He might be better than Sterling Sharpe, I think.

Rodgers needed Adams way, way more than Adams needed him, though as we can see from the quote above, he's got no patience with whatever it is that's happening in LV. I do think, though, he really really wanted to play on the west coast, so if LV is going to try to make a trade, he might push them to keep him on the west coast somewhere. SF? San Diego? Seattle?

Who knows. He doesn't sound happy, though.

Devante has to be kicking himself for going to Vegas. I’m sure he likes living there, but the losing football has to be eating him alive. Jimmy G is a less talented Kirk Cousins, and isn’t any better than Carr.

I don't have any interest in giving up more than a 3rd for a 31 y.o. WR who wasn't happy here before. I might even insist he take a pay cut on the next 2 years of his deal. I don't think we can win an Owl this year even if we were to bring him home, so I wouldn't want to give much up. Doubt it happens anyway.

You really think they are the miserable ones? If I'm Wilson I gotta be asking "who signed these snail fossils?"

Saw some replays of Wilson's struggles. He usually has had some time to throw. He's either not seeing guys get open, or guys are not open. It's probably some of both. It's the perfect storm: A bad QB playing behind a bad OL with mostly slow receivers.

There must be some mandate that a team gets a game of the week. And there was a lot of hype before the season started. Plus Taylor Swift was there, and at the moment she is more popular than the NFL and NASCAR combined.

So, viewership for that crappy Bears-Chiefs game was 24.3M, with lots of women tuning in. For the opening week Packers-Bears game it was 16.3 M. Expect every Chefs game to feature a lot of Taylor Swift. Networks and the NFL know how to milk a cash cow.

Davante is not better than Sharpe was.

Davante is not better than Sharpe was.

Hmm. Of course that is a valid point of view but I am curious as to what your reasoning is. Maybe I need to go back and watch some Sterling Sharpe film.

[bobblehead]

I'd say both were dominant and even similar in style. Sharpe had his career cut short, so D would get the nod from that standpoint. As for "at their best" I'm not sure I can pick a winner.

I just took a quick peak. Sharpe actually didn't miss a game through 7 years by the looks of it. D missed plenty. Through 7 years its super close, but D kept playing and had back to back 1500 yard seasons for career highs.

Prior to Adams playing longer than Sharpe I would easily have went Sharpe. Those last 2 years have been special, and for a post 30 y.o. WR, he is still balling big time.

Some of Davante's best seasons will have been in Raiders colors. He was amazing, but I will take Sharpe if I can only have the one.
