[QUOTE="PackAttack12, post: 893333, member: 11933"] What's silly at times is straddling both sides of the fence. Admitting that there are serious flaws in the WR room, but because some feel others are too exuberant in their critiques, they are consequently shoehorning and throwing hissy fits. In your critiques, you have to hedge by saying well it isn't great, but let me attempt to show you that it's "fine". Stats can be cherry picked to death all day long. And then there's something called watching the games and seeing MVS drop bunnies that kill drives. Fumbling the ball when the game is on the line. But thank goodness for his air yards. I'm in no way diminishing his importance as a vertical threat and as a run blocker, but there are far more elements of his game that deserve scrutiny. So the Packers don't use a lot of wide receivers and the other guys have been fine. But by your admission they liked Reagor, they liked Aiyuk, but since they didn't get one of those two guys the search should be over. The Packers don't use a lot of wide receivers, but they were in the hunt for one at the trade deadline this season. To me that seems to suggest they aren't satisfied with what they have, despite MVS and others performing at a "fine" clip. But instead of allocating a legitimate resource to improving upon the position group, lets take flyers on Begelton, let's run back the Darrius Shepherd experiment since it went so well last season, let's keep Kumerow on board only to release him before the season starts even though Rodgers likes him and feels he can produce (remember last year when Rodgers said can we get 13 on the field in the Detroit game?), lets sign Funchess, a big time commodity after he sat on the market for over two weeks. Other NFL teams who could've signed him said "nah, we good". But the Packers say hold my beer. Then shop for guys like Taylor and Fulgham on the clearance rack. Now. With every bit of this being said, I could stand corrected if postseason success is presented to me. I've never had an issue with admitting that I'm wrong about anything. Some people in my life would gladly tell you that I'm never right about much of anything ;), but I simply believe it's a bigger issue than you do. And that should be okay. But it doesn't mean that it's a silly exercise to dare pointing out the flaws with the WR room and not clinging to an air distance stat to debunk all of the skepticism. [/QUOTE]
