There is a material differnce between improvement and offense turning successful. Obviously an improvement is expected. But having it matter is a completely different conversation.Pugger wrote: ↑17 Oct 2022 11:13I agreed with your post until the last sentence. I would think either player would be an improvement over the receiver room we have presently.go pak go wrote: ↑17 Oct 2022 07:35Our primary issues on offense yesterday was the putrid lack of tryig to block anyone from the Oline and then Rodgers.Yoop wrote: ↑17 Oct 2022 07:13
you want to blame Rodgers, and he deserves his share, but in the time Rodgers has to set up and throw rarely is a receiver open, against man coverage all of our receivers struggle, you and others can high light when one is, but Rodgers under pressure can't see every receiver at every moment of a single play, even on the deep passes that are a bit off target, whats obvious is that receivers aren't tracking some of those passes which amounts to them not adjusting to make a catch.
I admit Rodgers has not been as sharp as he normally is, but this group of WR's don't worry DC's, we don't have a receiver that demands more then single coverage, they rarely ever even win a 1x1 contest.
from a clean pocket Rodgers has been one of the best in the league, but he's rarely had clean pockets this season.
theres a lot of blame to go around, but Guty not doing a better job of keeping the receiver group stocked with better talent tops my list, and all 22 with it's areal view can be used to show receivers open all the time, and on every play, but thats hardly the view a QB has trying to avoid pressure will scanning 3 or 4 receiver routes, Rodgers was pounded yesterday, but as usual he gets the majority of the blame.
lets sit him and play Love
The skill position players were bad too. Especially AJ Dillon. Good lord was he bad.
But the blocking was atrocious. I can't think of any excuse how an Oline as good as we have can play so poorly.
The receiver discussion is like 3rd on the list of issues that need to get cleaned up. I have no issues saying we lack talent or experienced talent there. That's obvious. But the level of emphasis being placed on the WRs when there are clearly other more pressing issues is the laughable piece.
Like the thought that an OBJ or DJ Moore can just be plugged in and this offense turns successful is laughable.
Adding a WR in 2019, 2020, or 2021 made sense. We were a top team and it was a weakness that could put us over the top. I don't think that is the case this year. Having an OBJ wasn't turning an offense that couldn't get a first down on their own (without a penalty) until late in the 2nd quarter to a 24+ score/game unit.
