Cordell Patterson wide receiver depth???
El-Ka-Bong posted:We are really overrating the quality of our WR
Next thing you're going to try and tell me is that Tori Gurley and Ruvell Martin aren't starting caliber WRs in this league.
This was the batch:
Michael Clark - 6' 6" - beat out by the only smurf they signed
Allen Lazard - 6' 5" - might make the team *
Equanimeous St. Brown - 6' 5" - beat out by the only smurf they signed
Matthew Eaton - 6' 5" - beat out by the only smurf they signed
Marquez Valdes-Scantling - 6' 4" - will make the team *
Jake Kumerow - 6' 4" - will make the team *
Geronimo Allison - 6' 3" - might make the team
Malik Taylor - 6' 2" - beat out by the only smurf they signed
J'Mon Moore - 6' 2" - beat out by the only smurf they signed
DeAngelo Yancey - 6' 2" - beat out by the only smurf they signed
Adonis Jennings - 6' 2" - beat out by the only smurf they signed
Herb Waters - 6' 2" - beat out by the only smurf they signed
Davante Adams - 6' 1" - a wee bit short, top-10 WR *
Trevor Davis - 6' 1" - too short, might make the team *
Teo Redding - 6' 1" - beat out by the only smurf they signed
Jawill Davis 6' 1" - beat out by the only smurf they signed
Keon Hatcher - 6' 1" - Keon Hatcher - 6' 1"
Kyle Lewis - 6'0" - beat out by the only smurf they signed
Colby Pearson - 6' 0" - beat out by the only smurf they signed
Darrius "David" Shepherd - 5' 9" - giant killer - might make the team.
So, they believe in tall WRs. I think it's down to these:
1. Allen Lazard - 6' 5" - will make the team - amazing upside
2. Jake Kumerow - 6' 4" - will make the team - amazing upside
3. Marquez Valdes-Scantling - 6' 4" - will make the team - amazing upside
4. Geronimo Allison - 6' 3" - will make the team - amazing upside
5. Davante Adams - 6' 1" - a wee bit short, not much upside, but will probably make the team
bubble:
6. Trevor Davis - 6' 1" - too short, no upside, might make the team
7. Darrius "David" Shepherd - 5' 9" - giant killer - no upside at all, most likely will not make the team
The problem with counting on Davis for anything is his penchant for injury. How long is he going to hold up against starting D's actually hitting him?

You just don't know HOF superstar talent when you see it. Watch the film man.
I think you broke the film guy. He disappeared again. Way to go crap weasel.
#Packers WR Equanimeous St. Brown suffered a high-ankle sprain in last night’s preseason game in Canada, source said. X-Rays were negative and the MRI indicated a high-ankle sprain that’ll likely knock him out 4-6 weeks.

When Boyle plays, there's none of that. He's never going to be Aaron Rodgers, but I'd roll with him at backup QB before anyone else.
He's got poise and confidence that Kizer doesn't.
He looks a lot worse this year than last. Like he doesn’t understand the reads so he’s panicking. Boyle looked comfortable and has always thrown a better ball than Kizer.
That battle concluded last night...
Boyle's highs are higher (vs. backups) but his lows are just as low. Still too inconsistent and not somebody you should trust at #2 currently. The new GM so far looks like the old GM when it comes to QB depth. And ILB depth.

Gute should take a clue from the Eagles on the backup QB.
We should trade some of this top notch talent at WR for an ILB worth a shit. Maybe Davis and Allison for Sean Lee since Jerry is known to like our leftovers. Watch the film morans!

I hope so.
I'm praying.
If I'm Gutenfarter, and I'm not, I'd consider trading Lane Taylor or a WR or even a guy like Tonyan for a MLB.
I saw the update on St. Brown’s injury but haven’t seen anything today regarding Gary or Bolton. Anyone know the latest on them?
We have nothing at WR that anybody in the NFL would "trade for" other than 17. Good grebes.
Saw the famed second quarter today.
Boyle looked good. Against backups. If he looked like that at all other times in the PS, I'd be OK with him at 2. But he hasn't and the season starts in 2 weeks.
I think Davis may be a bit of fool's gold. All his catches are contested or close to it which means he's not getting separation against 2nd and 3rd teamers. Also seems a bit stiff for a fast guy. Shep looks more athletic but could be a bit green vs. Davis. tough call.
Cole Madison. Everyone's rooting for him but really haven't heard much about him since camp started. Based on a few online roster predictions, he's on the bubble. He looks a bit slight to me for a G. That is probably the result of not being in an nfl "nutrition" program for a year. He doesn't embarrass himself but he needs to bulk up and develop a little more to be legit depth. I don't know if he survives waivers if they want to PS squad him. Good OL are tough to find. Even prospect types.
Carson is Bradon Jackson. With maybe a little more punch. Tough call on him vs. shitbird. I loved shitbird earlier on but his mental lapses could really sink him.
Gary looks like he's doing practice drills. Also really looks the part but no production yet. Hope he's not another Packer injury legend.

I have a chance to go to next weeks game. Should I go?
Heck yes you should go, Ghost at least you know what your getting at Lambeau
the poor folks some of who paid over $ 400 a ticket last nite in Winnipeg, saw slashed ticket prices, and giveaways to bolster an embarrassing crowd, announced at 21,990. Thats kinda like going to a Rolling Stones concert, only to get the Stones at a sound-check, with the roadie filling in for Mick, and your annoying, guitar-playing neighbor sitting in for Keith, with wonky amplifiers. The players who did play, god love um, they did their best, jobs were at stake after all.
Ankle sprain for ESB, so IR-return likely.
