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. This is true...plus one is half a foot taller.

Adams, f/a, higher draft pick, Lazard, ESB ... golden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVS is the only one who was expected by anyone outside of the GB fanbase to do anything this year. In the building, there had to be no expectations for kumerow, and low expectations for Allison.

Didn't happen for either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good route running makes for a faster player at the same speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 IMO, ESB is a smoother athlete while Jennings was twitchier. The difference is not "we stopped drafting fast people" it's "we stopped spending high picks on WRs". The Packers spent a 2nd round pick on a WR in 2005 (Murphy), a 2nd in 2006 (Jennings), a 3rd in 2007 (Jones), a 2nd in 2008 (Nelson), a 2nd in 2011 (Cobb), a 2nd in 2014 (Adams), and a 3rd in 2015 (Montgomery). In the past 4 drafts the highest pick they've spent on a WR was a late 4th (J'Mon Moore.) That has a lot more to do with the state of the WR corps than "they stopped valuing guys who are good at football and instead prioritized guys who aren't." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilprin Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Add Robby Anderson and Draft pick...call it good. Trade down in Round #1 and grab Tyler Johnson from MN or Bowden from UK...a slot guy with speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fl0nkerton Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 not related, but it came up when I was looking at FA WR's, but holy hell Chris Ballard gave Devin Funchess $10 million dollars and he only played 36 snaps He'd have a website clamoring to fire him if we had him in GB lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
