Not an elite, top 5 guy, but a #1. Yes, Jones is unproven, but he's the most talented guy we have had in a while and the difference is noticeable when he is on the field.

Because you say so and your front office has was dumb enough to sign him to elite money? He’s never had a thousand yard season while nearly 50different receivers have during his career. He’s currently 33rd in receiving yards per game. This is all on a pass happy team with arguably the best QB ever. He’s a non factor as far as the NFL at large is concerned, and he has the numbers to back that up. He might not even be as good as Geronimo Allison, 40 year old Raiders Nelson, or Randall Cobb. We always hear that a different running back in Green Bay is talented. Jones has 500 career yards. He’s a non entity as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of your argument is silly at best. Ask any DC is they consider him a non factor and they'd laugh at you. You certainly haven't heard any Packer fan talk up most of our RBs over the years.

Howler Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 The packers offense has been down for awhile. Don't be fooled by the exploits of #12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They paid him on potential, and by the end of his contract, I'm sure they'll have got their money's worth. Aaron Jones is talented, but is also unproven. As a lifelong Packers fan, the offense is noticeably better with him on the field than without. It's too bad their offense still blows regardless. By the way, Geronimo is one of my favorite players right now. But he's not nearly as good a player as Davante. I'm not big on hypothetical scenarios, but I think we can all see that Adams would've cleared 1,000 yards in a season by now had he stayed healthy/had Rodgers for full seasons. At least he put up some decent numbers with Brett Hundley last year, while Nelson couldn't do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two compliment each other well. Williams is a bruiser back and Jones is the versatile back. The staff just needs to give Jones more carries.

Not that this has to do with anything, but just remember that being a surprising statistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Ty should've stayed at WR IMO as a slot......he hasn't worked out at RB because he has sickle cell and can't handle the amount of touches.

GSUeagles14 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 nothing to back this up but i think its rodgers knee. if they had a servicable backup, i think the best route wouldve been to rest him for x amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers has not logged any (or much) practice time since the week 1 knee injury. That likely affects the timing of the offense. Rodgers looks off on some throws.
