wgbeethree Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 A friendly reminder that EQ had a grand total of ZERO reps with Rodgers in the preseason last year. Maybe, just maybe, based on that fact using the preseason games isn't the best way to figure out how they may have been gelling? 🤷 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that seems like it changes nothing. And as for gelling with Rodgers, wouldn't we go back to Rodgers comments for that, which have already been hashed out. He kinda clearly hyped the other WRs more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 from twitter "The full list of WRs who have 4,000 rec yards and 40 rec TD since 2016: - Davante Adams That's the list." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) MVS' first 2 seasons have been very similar to Adams'. An inconsistent but promising rookie season followed by an injury-affected disappointing 2nd season. Not saying that MVS will be another Adams. Adams has great ball skills. MVS does not. But it's easy to forget that through seven games last year MVS was on a pace for 950 yards and 5 TD's. Then the wheels fell off. We'll see if he can put the wheels back on.

He's just so raw compared to Adams. I actually think less is more with MVS. He can be a big play guy in this offense, but probably not an every down player. He's a package guy. At this point, he's still not even half the route runner Adams was out of college and lacks other nuance skills you need to excel at the WR position. That's why he was drafted in the 5th round despite his athletic traits, like many to come before him. If he puts it together I still think he could become a Ted Ginn type of player but that's the ceiling IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVS is having a 1,000 yard, 10 TD season this year if there is a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattlipp Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) I read somewhere that the Pack should target Hakeem Butler in a trade, I like that idea, future conditional 3rd Might work... put Butler and Lazard back together in 3WR sets.. Curtis Samuel and John Ross were also mentioned... Edited August 6, 2020 by fattlipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we know the talent level of WR's on the roster when Adams was young is very different from what we have around MVS today. Something did not click last year. I hope that @Outpost31 is right concerning him. But I thought that last year, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Family Ghost} Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Gute needs to quit coming up short on adding a legit wideout to this team. Couldn't land Allen Robinson a few years ago .. failed to swing a Robby Anderson or Emmanuel Sanders deal last year .. failed to get either Anderson or Sanders inked this offseason ... failed to draft a receiver in this past draft. Settled for Funchess. Funchess is now gone and it's probably time for Gute to get serious and figure out a way to add a legit WR option to this team. Based on recent history though Gute is going to come up short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
