That will make for an unhappy Davante Adams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers likes it when guys exceed their expectations (this year's Lazard, two years ago MVS, three years ago Allison) and then stops throwing to them once the expectation is reset. maybe we can draft guys who broke their leg but were super talented and undergo a risky medical procedure to shorten their calf muscles to theoretically increase their jumping ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really coming on in the last 4 or 5 weeks of the season. And I don't think he'll break the bank. is this a joke? Isn't that dude like 35 years old and out of the league? nvr mind, saw what you meant. Perriman is nice if he's cheap.

skibrett15 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 go look for michael gallup. Smaller school big production not a huge person but not 5'8" either. That's the best receiver for Rodgers. I would still like to test the theory that any player who comes to GB and plays with rodgers will be significantly better than they were on another team. Cobb is the closest thing to looking like he is capable of playing good football after leaving GB, so is the converse true? If we got even an average outside WR would they be a star here?

Someone's gonna have to explain what exactly happened in Oakland that appeared to result in him "forgetting how to catch a football" before I'm willing to pay Cooper.

We can slice the pie up in a number of ways.....signing bonuses, guaranteed moneies....but do you feel he's worth the overall value? The #2 WR in the NFL? They're saying thats his market. Do you agree? Is his "on the field" worth - worth that to GB? Edited January 21, 2020 by Leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The avg is still going to be $19m and the gtd will still be top 3 for a WR ever. There might be a lower year 1 cap hit but the contract is still going to be huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 So....we're supposed to go get three dudes in FA and draft another four in the draft? C'mon. Perriman, if available, is really the only guy in FA we should even sniff. We have a strong WR in this next draft class and ESB coming off an injury. Let's pump the brakes on this one a bit; especially because we all remember the 15-1 year where we choked at home because of how bad our front-7 was post Cullen Jenkins.

cannondale Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Gute apparently tried to trade for Robby Anderson earlier this year. Gute doesn't strike me as a rental type of guy, so I am guessing that would have been a trade with long term ideas. Anderson is now a FA, fresh off his rookie deal. 6'-3" 190lbs - 52 catches for 779 and 5 TD's with some bad QB play in NY. Instantly makes Lazard the #3 where he can better succeed. WR problems solved. I don't know what his market value is, but this might be a perfect fit that has legs. Is he gonna get $10m per ? He can room with Billy Turner Edited January 22, 2020 by cannondale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 In recent years for whatever reason it seemed we have prioritised height over speed at WR. Allison, Lazard, EQ, MVS, Kumerow, and many various UDFAs who we brought in for a look - only MVS out of that group had genuine speed. I'm not sure why we moved away from smaller, quick and shifty receiver types in the Adams, Jennings, Cobb, Jones, Driver mold that Rodgers had so much success with. Nelson was an outlier not the norm but instead it looked like we tried to find more Nelson types instead of Jenning types. I hope Gute will re-adjust our WR recruitment strategy for FA and the draft.

PossibleCabbage Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I mean, ESB's 40 time was 4.48. Greg Jennings' 40 time was 4.48. I'm not saying they're the same player but the difference between the two is not that one is fast and one is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
