Year one, Moore was in trouble right away, but both MVS and ESB showed some promise.  After that first season Gute let Cobb walk away in Free agency (2019), probably thinking MVS and ESB were on their way and maybe Moore just needed more time.  Moore ends up being a total washout, ESB gets hurt and MVS has a pretty pathetic year #2.  Thus leaving the Packers for a second straight year with Adams and a bunch of "hopes to develop" players.In 2020, Gute could have potentially redeemed himself and addressed a very weak position through Free Agency and/or a very deep WR draft, he did neither.  Instead, after the smoke of Free Agency had cleared as well as the draft , he signed Funchess.  If the receiving group once again struggles in 2020, this will be a ********* mark on Gute's resume.</blockquote>
