So, Jon Meerdink from acmepackingcompany.com lists these four WR as potential trade targets. How do people come up with this?

The franchise mainstay - A.J. Green

The enemy asset - Stefon Diggs

The wily veteran - Emmanuel Sanders

The under-the-radar contributor - Robby Anderson

Some of these guys may be great, but how long will it take for them to get comfortable with Aaron? I just don't see a traded player having that great of an immediate impact.

The only person who could in my opinion is Jordy.

Call Jordy.

Would take about a day and a half and they would be in sync.

They have wasted 2+ years and 30mil waiting for Jimmy to come around.

Bring Jordy back!

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

That or for the offense to finally click... a running game might open things up more than any one non-superstar WR.
It'd be nice to have a physical RB to force open some of the holes when the OL can't... but maybe if J. Williams is still healthy he can do some of that. I still think that maybe they should of tried to let Aaron Jones sneak through a hole on the one yard line... nothing fancy, just a straight ahead run play, maybe an inside zone, and try to find a small hole.

You can trot any WR out there you want. Until the QB stops staring at the protection instead of keeping his eyes down field, it will not matter.

Vitale did run the ball once. And there was indeed a run play called on the one yard line. It was a RPO. LaFleur agreed with Aaron’s decision to throw it too.

And he (assuming, big assumption here) doesn't trust his WR to get open. He used to throw WR open and now it's looking like he waits until they are open or does the back shoulder / come back throws.

There's a big difference in how he QB's now as opposed to 3-5 years ago. Talent-wise, I think he still has it. He shows us flashes. I think the injuries have him a little spooked in the pocket and hearing footsteps when there aren't any. And that's a consequence of there BEING footsteps to begin with.

I admired him for his "California Cool" in the pocket. That's diminished. I'm not the only one who's noticed.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
