[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 893317, member: 12283"] I don't think anyone is completely happy with the WR room. And I don't think anyone was thrilled that more was not accomplished in the off-season. But the failure to spend a high draft pick on the WR position just has not hurt the Packers the way a lot of people thought it might. Their offensive design doesn't use a lot of WR's, and the supporting cast guys have been fine. Rodgers has bought into the system and is executing it at an extremely high level. They've scoring 434 points this season, which is 3rd (the Chiefs have scored 435 and the Titans 436). Rodgers is playing at an elite level, but he also has advantages working for him. The scheme is efficient, the play calling is strong, the offensive line is among the league's best, the running game is top 10, and the backfield is very QB friendly (Jones and Williams both strong receivers and pass protectors). And people also just don't seem to want to admit that the supporting receivers, while all certainly flawed, have made significant contributions to the offense. Lazard has been targeted 11 times on 3rd down this season and had 9 catches for 9 first downs and over 24 yards per catch. MVS leads the league in air yards per target (17.6) and yards per reception (19.5). He's undoubtedly a low volume player, and has real weaknesses in his game, but that vertical element really matters to the offense. And yet there are posters with the same refrain every week, talking about the receivers and predicting the team's demise based on the receivers. They're shoe-horning whatever happens into that narrative. It's silly. [/QUOTE]
