A bit confusing, but if I interpret you correctly....I agree

Doubs and Love have had some really nice completions so far. Their chemistry is pretty obvious. What the hope is (for Packer fans), is that Love can establish the same chemistry with Watson, while improving his (Love) own level of play as well. These are the growing pains of a very young/inexperienced group. As you and others have said, the ceiling for all 4 players (Love, Doubs, Watson, Reed) is a lot higher. As is it for Musgrave and Kraft.
The 2024 draft might be the first one in awhile where I say "I don't mind seeing the Packers go heavy on the OL in their first 3-5 picks."
Yeah, I may have been wrong about Myers. I thought the talk about him not being very good was just talk. So far this year, he has been far from impressive.
What’s scary is Myers played like the 2nd best OL last week. How bad must it be! Lol
Unfortunately, I think the Packers will have bigger needs in the 2024 draft. Plus, Watson needs some playing time. I think he's git what it takes, but not if he can't stay healthy!
He certainly has made catches that I thought were very uncatchable.
I like Doubs. Just needs to keep improving, including his blocking skills.
There are things in Doubs game that made me believe he was the real deal from the start. Watching him catch 50/50 balls last year, during the preseason, told me the guy had the will to win those battles. To me, that's exactly what you want in a possession receiver, and that's what they've got. I instantly thought of Jordy Nelson, and how he cut his teeth on wrestling the ball away from defenders, making big plays, that moved the chains. I think Doubs brings a lot of that to the table.
This was the latest information that I could find. If you go by what this article says, improving helmets is an ongoing effort by the NFL. They are also trying to change the rules to try and reduce helmet to helmet hits.
Or in Romeo's case helmut to ground
I don't remember Doubs being depicted as a fast guy. As you note, he runs great routes and catches most passes.
Doubs ran a 4.47 in his pro day.
I'm no expert on times. I have to look it up if I want to know. I just looked up Justin Jefferson. It said he ran a 4.43. So 4.47 must be good.
Reasonably good but not a speed merchant. He was brought in because of his talents. He runs good routes, works well off the ball, has great hands, and can make catches that sometimes seem nearly impossible. He's not afraid to catch the ball in traffic and take hits. He's one of the better "hand fighters" in the league, getting more than his share of the 50/50 balls. He isn't a flashy receiver and is often overlooked by Love because he's way too enthralled with getting off that long ball. Often moving the chains might be the best option. If you look at the stats, you'd find Doubs is one of the better chain movers in the NFL.
Very good summary on Doubs, and thx for finding his forty time. It would be a huge mistake to part with Doubs now. (And I agree that the short game, move-the-sticks game needs to get more attention from Love. I don't mind at all that he takes more risks than Rodgers, but his judgment needs to improve as to when to take a shot.)
Exactly the point. Trading him you get very little but keeping him, you keep that chain mover. If they do get Love to see the field better, I think the numbers Doubs puts up will be pretty darned good.
This is where in game decisions by LaFleur come in. It should be noticeable if there is a guy doing a good job on the line of scrimmage with Golden. In which case, he should be the guy in motion or in a slot position sufficiently behind the line of scrimmage. Sometimes, imho, that is more important than sticking to the script as far as motion is concerned.
