Packers Sign Sammy Watkins

[RingoCStarrQB]

Has anybody clarified whether the miscommunications between Watkins and Rodgers were the fault of one or the other, or both yesterday? I saw Watkins speak at his locker. I had the impression that he was covering for his QB, or just totally searching for any answer.

I don't honestly even know if it matters. What surprised me most is Watkins was their "go to" guy with everything on the line. Toure and Lazard are completely better options that Watkins.

The largest thing I keep noticing with Rodgers and the team is it is overall incredibly toxic. Like there is just zero chemistry. And this has gone on for a long time.

The difference in prior years was Adams was there to be on the same page with Rodgers but even he was incredibly hated until he wasn't in 2019. Honestly I am starting to feel bad for the Oline and WRs. They can do no right and I think it's starting to show. The team has no chemistry. No love for one another.

It is completely different than watching the 2019 - 2021 Packers. The team is broken.

who the the hell hated Adams ? Rodgers has always been able to build chemistry with Receivers that had a IQ, less so of those drafted on combine results, Adams was ready to play year one just as was Cobb and Greg Jennings, Nelson, Jones took a year, why Ted stopped drafting receivers is anyones guess, same with Guty's devotion to mid round basketball types that rarely beat one on one coverage, but there negligence is what we are witnessing now, it's what led to the departure of McCarthy, I said all this back then, but what the hell, you and others here know better, its all the first ballot HOF QB's fault.

Like I mentioned previously ............ where the heck is Valdez-Scantling. And Eq St Brown is actually productive as a WR on the Bears. This is a messed up GM .........really really messed up.

Watson is showing real promise and needs as many snaps as possible going forward.

Lazard is who he is, a physical blocker, usually a steady presence (though not against Tenn. on Thursday night), and someone who has Rodgers' trust. He is going to play when healthy the rest of the season.

Cobb is also who he is at this point, and has been fairly productive. Assuming he stays healthy, he will get his time on the field.

Doubs should return in a couple of weeks and like Watson has shown some promise and needs as many snaps as possible.

Toure is a 7th round pick and raw as can be, but at least he shows some athleticism. MLF acknowledged he needs more snaps during a press conference this week.

Meanwhile, Sammy Watkins, when healthy, has not been on the same page as Rodgers. He has 13 catches for 206 yards. He looks like he is carrying a small piano on his back when running. He has problems getting off of press coverage. He has no history with the team, he'll be 30 next season, and there is no way he will be back in Green Bay in 2023.

Given the above, why not cut Watkins loose and cut him loose now? If he signs with another team for a playoff run, good for Sammy.

But the Packers should give Winfree or some prospect on another team's practice squad a shot.

Stop wasting snaps on a guy who was already washed up before you signed him and start giving his snaps to guys who will hopefully help the team going forward.

I agree, might as well cut Watkins. Winfree, too. When he did get snaps, he didn't do anything. I think it was [mention]lupedafiasco[/mention] who said they should be churning other team's practice squad guys. That's the way to go now.
