Packers 2022 Thread

And here is Watkins explaining it

Sammy Watkins here is doing what seemingly every other player on the team does, and takes the blame on himself and says he should do better. Every other player except the QB. Rodgers could easily say "Yeah we had a misunderstanding and I should've waited a beat because Sammy was right to break his route that way, I missed him for a TD. That's on me"

I think the thumb is a bigger issue then he ( Rodgers) and the Packers let on. Remember he played with a serious leg injury they never fully disclosed a few years ago. If that proves the case even more the reason to let it go and not say anything.

To me and I read a ton of packers stuff, it's undisputable that he's missing throws and that the OL in pass pro has been awful.

Not buying what you're selling today... didn't buy it yesterday...won't buy it tomorrow. Aaron Rodgers skills are declining, he's missing throws. End of story

Not disagreeing either, Mark. He can play better and is missing guys and passes; however, I am just pointing out that there are other factors involved here. And our expectations are very high for his play. Now he is playing a step below what he normally has but not as bad as we think, IMO.

By the way, I think the slant to Amari was AR thinking he should throw at him or behind him due to being worried about the LB in the middle; otherwise, I think he leads him.

And Sammy had the right intuition. Frankly I'm surprised AR didn't read it the same way.

I suggest people take a good look at the last three games, and then come back and say that the Rodgers we see playing QB for the Packers even comes close to resembling the guy that's been there for over 10 years. He isn't.

That competitive edge that's always driven Rodgers to lash out and be the best on the field is gone. I don't think he understands it, and because of it, wants to believe that the bad results are someone else's fault, not his. But, in the back of his mind, he knows darned well it's on him. That thing that gave him those two MVPs in a row is gone.

If you find it hard to believe, about Rodgers, look at Tom Brady. He's imploding, just like Rodgers. The edge is gone. His marriage is gone. Even his Tom Terrific facade has been stripped away, with his sideline, and on field tantrums.

What we've seen this year is two of the greatest QBs to ever play the game find out that no matter how good you were yesterday, there comes a time when you're no longer at the top of your game, and should have walked away before you began making a fool of yourself.

It's great to believe in how good Rodgers "used to be," but we have to face facts. That was in the past. Today is a new reality, and it's time for Aaron and the Packers to both move on.

As for us fans? Let it go. You can't build him back up, and make him work again. It's over. Remember the sweet times in the past, when he was pretty darned good.

Packers Will Trade for Receiver​

1. he short version of Green Bay's 3-4 start is the offense looks broken.
   Early in the offseason, the Packers traded All-Pro wideout Davante Adams. Since then, on a scale of 1-10, the external concern level surrounding the receiving corps has been an 11. Basically everyone in the organization tried to stifle the worries, but Green Bay's performance to date has justified it all.
   As a result, Brandin Cooks, Chase Claypool and Jerry Jeudy are among the names ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has floated as possible options for the Packers. Any of them, in theory, would provide a much-needed jolt to an underperforming and injury-riddled group of wideouts.
   The issues are deeper than the receivers, though. The offensive line has been underwhelming, and Aaron Rodgers isn't excluded from blame.
   Further complicating matters is Rodgers' uncertain future, so the Packers would be rightfully hesitant to send meaningful draft capital for a win-now player who basically only slaps duct tape on a cracking foundation.
   Verdict: Fiction

Absolutely agree. I get the don't give up mid-season. But there is no reason to think that giving up draft capital for a team with no depth and HUGE cap issues on the horizon is a good idea. GB needs a pretty significant retooling. Keep the draft capital and keep the future in mind. Don't sell the farm, GB needs to be realistic right now.

Doubtful they give up major draft capital, if you believe reports that they want someone on a rookie deal which also alleviates the cap issue.

Except everyone knows GB is desperate so probably aren't gonna find a decent deal.... IMHO

Tom S has said that guys like Claypool and Jeudy do them no good because they're still young and just as likely as not to piss off Aaron and so not worth giving up a ton, which I think is a really good point. If Gute is going to trade for someone it has to be a mid-tier veteran, its a tough needle to thread and as many of you have said, more unlikely than likely to actually find the right piece.
