[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 655059, member: 7261"] The 2015 Packer offense definitely should have learned that AR alone isn't enough. I agree with you that it was a snowball effect of injuries, poor play and probably loss of confidence that knocked the wheels off the offense last year. I wouldn't classify Lacy as a top 10 back...maybe he has the potential to be one, but not last year. Is RR a capable TE? Sure, just as Lacy is a capable RB. But if you heard news that RR was in the middle of some amazing off season program that would make him faster and thus a TE that could open things up in the middle, wouldn't you be pumped? We all know Eddie may come back in better shape and a more productive RB, but I think we also know RR won't come back any faster. He may be more productive next year with Jordy back, but he probably wont ever be the game changing TE that I would envision as a #1 on a pass oriented offense. I'm not going to take the time to go back and look at stats, but I recall a number of games last year that the opposing teams TE's tore us up. Unless you include the Hail Rodgers play, I don't really remember any Packer games where I said at the end "man that Richard Rodgers is really something." So yes, if all you want is a body to fill the TE position and you are satisfied with average, I would say RR is your man, I just think we can find better. [/QUOTE]
