But let's go ahead and keep him as our 6th or 7th receiver on the roster even though he offers nothing at his position and hasn't even shown the ability to stay healthy. Just so he might return one or two punts on the year. Dumbest take I've seen on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was aboard the keep Davis train all offseason, but with him missing all of camp and others stepping up, not anymore. Did nothing to earn his spot and was an idiot this offseason which put him on thin ice to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The fact that he fielded 4 and not 3 and not 2 inside the 10 tells you he was clearly coached to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmy50 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Zero issue with his stance. I disagree but understand his general POV. It loses it's value when you go off the deep though. Have an intelligent POV and stick to your guns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 Dumbest take on this site. Davis played in 16 games last year and had 24 returns. Dumbest take to think he'll return more than 2 punts this year. Dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually 10. Four of which were good decisions because the opposition was behind him and would have downed the ball closer to the goal line. "Clearly coached to do so" is a questionable inference at best. Especially since Green Bay hasn't had a history of punt returners that have fielded the ball inside the 10 yard line before Trevor Davis. One would think the coaching would be consistent no matter who was fielding the punts. Those of you defending Davis must also have fairly short term memory, as he's muffed several punts in the preseason as well as regular season. He's not great at catching the ball cleanly.

This is the same guy who made a bomb joke....at an airport. I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt that he's not simply an idiot, lol.

He's really nowhere near as bad as you're making him out to be. He's a good PR. Not anything great but he's definitely good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy50 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I've said it before and I'll say it again. Davis might be the best WR on this roster.....if they were playing flag football. His general lack of physicality makes some otherwise impressive parts grade down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSG Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 2 hours ago, Lodestar said: Yeah, I don't see "extremely low upside" with Kumerow. He's big and talented and seems to have some burst, as evidenced by his two long TDs this preseason. Yet he's going into his 3rd year and has yet to make an active roster much less make it on a NFL field. I like Kumerow but I'm failing to see the upside. I can't name one single quality NFL starter who had to bounce around to 3 different practice squads in his first 2 years because he wasn't good enough to make an active roster. Given that these same preseason games made Jeff Janis look like a future star in his first 2 years I like to hedge my enthusiasm a bit. Kumerow is going to be 27 by next season's end and for that reason alone I'm not sure I'd keep him over any of the 3 rookies (and I never bought the absurd hype that this rookie class had). Like I said previously, I think Allison and Kumerow are battling for the same spot. I wouldn't at all be upset if he won out as he's clearly got more hop to his step than Allison and I'm not sure there is anything when it comes to playing the position that Allison is better at.

palmy50 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Yeah, I'd place Allison, Kumerow, Davis, and Yancey all in the same class in terms of god given ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't highschool football. Punters can put backspin on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what point would you recommend a player not fair catch a punt? The fact is, Davis is just as likely to made a dumb move fair catching the ball when he shouldn't or muff a ball as he is likely to break a long punt return.
