one day of minni camp and people have the positions locked downTheSkeptic wrote: ↑07 Jun 2022 15:06Yup. I told people that there was no way Jaire would be in the slot. Got shot at for saying so. But I was right.
Rasul will be just fine there.
Well I'm pretty sure it's not set in stone and also don't think anyone 'shot at' you for suggesting that.TheSkeptic wrote: ↑07 Jun 2022 15:06Yup. I told people that there was no way Jaire would be in the slot. Got shot at for saying so. But I was right.

Team should listen to some of us more oftenYoHoChecko wrote: ↑07 Jun 2022 16:43Amari Rodgers says he lost 6 pounds and 4% body fat this offseason.
Many people around this board indicated that was a wise path for him to take; I guess he and the team agreed
Lazard is scheduled to make about the same amount as DK Melcalf this year. DKs hold out is justified, Lazard should be happy to make $4m and be in the situation he is in.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑07 Jun 2022 12:28It's wild, right? Honestly,. if I'm him, I don't want a contract right now. Given the opportunity, he has a good chance at a career high in volume stats this year. His tender isn't necessarily small potatoes ($4 M). He could bet on himself this year.
Lazard would make every team's roster. The only exception I can think of, maybe, would be the Buccs from last year that had a crazy deep WR corps. but even that I'm not sure about.Drj820 wrote: ↑07 Jun 2022 19:29Lazard is scheduled to make about the same amount as DK Melcalf this year.

I’m not even sure Lazard would make every teams 53 man roster in the league. Would he make some? Totally. Most? Ehhh. All? I do not think so.
He should show up and prove himself and earn his next payday.
not to be rude, but i totally disagree. Lazard is the definition of a JAG. Lazard puts up the numbers he has put up with a two time MVP throwing to him and fitting the ball into extremely tight windows, most other QBs arent even throwing to him in the situations we see Rodgers get him the ball. That or they are throwing INTs.Labrev wrote: ↑07 Jun 2022 20:53Lazard would make every team's roster.

People think that because Lazard is not a (consistent) separator, that he must be a JAG. He's a possession receiver; he's open even when he's covered... by virtue of merely being taller, stronger, and more physical than the guy covering him (or faster, if he's covered by a LB).
Like, Lazard is pretty much exactly what you would draw up if you wanted to create the prototype possession receiver, only thing lacking is that he sometimes puts too many balls on the ground, but everything else: height, weight, strength, mentality... checks all the boxes. His speed is actually pretty adequate. He ran mid-4.5. 4.5 isn't fast, but it's not slow, especially not when you have that kind of size advantage.
thing is Lazard has been promoting himself, he's on record saying HE thinks this is his breakout year, what would you say if you where a friend and his QB? Rodgers saying he's comfortable with that doesn't add up to much imo Yoho or you wouldn't have seen gute trade both 2nd rounders to get someone better, you would have seen Lazard targeted more then two times in the PO loss, Rodgers has a habit of not dissing his team mates, he's often said he was comfortable with his WR's when it was obvious most sucked, when it comes to Rodgers comments concerning just about everything I take it as half truths.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑07 Jun 2022 21:06Rodgers’ 20-minute locker room interview today was FULL of interesting nuggets.
One of them was saying that Lazard is stepping into the WR1 role (and that Rodgers is comfortable with him in that role).
I’ll probably post about the interview more tomorrow. But since this conversation about Lazard is ongoing, felt like I’d jump in now with it.
Another interesting note: Lazard apparently posted from the airport yesterday “time to get to work.” So I wouldn’t be super surprised if he turns up and signs the tender soon. I’m still confused/intrigued about his motivations and whether he’s angling for a different deal.
He also made it clear that Lazard, Watkins, and Cobb are his 1-2-3 and it’s up to others to fight for scraps and/or produce to the point that they crack that group.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑07 Jun 2022 21:06Rodgers’ 20-minute locker room interview today was FULL of interesting nuggets.

Interesting tidbit X: AR spoke of Cobb as his representative in the WR room. Cobb can show and tell them what AR expects, the timings, the signals... I think a WR with long-ass knowledge of AR's ways could be a better player-coach than AR himself. Cobb speaks WR as native language.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑07 Jun 2022 21:06Rodgers’ 20-minute locker room interview today was FULL of interesting nuggets.

why are people in such a hurry to go back to mediocre?
If we'd have traded Rodgers for draft compensation I would have got on board, but in reality Rodgers offers us the best chance to win, and not just a SB, regular season games matter, if ya don't win those there is no chance to even get to a SB, till we have a QB that can help win us those games I'll stick with Rodgers.
