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!

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.
