Ragnar Danneskjold Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 This shouldn’t really be a huge surprise. With the salary cap falling the team didn’t have the money to go out and grab the free agent talent needed at wide receiver and offensive line. On top of that, your two best OL are still recovering from ACL injuries and not up to the level of play the had before the injuries. The interior players are inexperienced non-top tier players and OL is a position where experience matters for journeyman type players. Then there is Rodgers bad throwing hand. I think Lafleur is doing what he can with the talent he has. The only criticism I would throw out there is I wish that Gute would look at more than RAST score with wide receivers and make sure they can actually catch the ball. This team is not as talented as people thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 How hilarious is it that the Packers have had 3 straight weeks against marginal teams to take the all time Wins lead from the Bears and we can't do it. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like criticizing Rodgers as much as the next guy, but the number of inaccurate throws he is making per game is more than just being out of sync with the new WR's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Vince Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) So frustrating watching KC who picks later than us every year but always seem to find these explosive WRs and RBs. All we do is draft tall receivers who can't separate or catch the ball. They lose their best WR and got better, we lose our best WR and got terribly worse.

We don’t seem to prioritize athleticism or explosiveness as qualities of WR. Outside of Watson we just don’t go for that mold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their two 100 yard guys today came from other teams and we all know where MVS comes from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is not as talented as people thought. Agreed... But they are rookies. Hopefully the drops get resolved like they did with Davante and not persist like MVS in GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we can re do all the divisions and conferences in college and the NFL for no reason next.

We can hope, but it seems like a pattern is developing- J’mon Moore, MVS, Christian Watson- they all had the rap in college for drops, and it showed up here. Gute does well with DB’s, but I feel like he believes you can coach up good hands when picking wide receivers. I don’t think Rodgers has the mind set to deal with that approach.
