[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 644919, member: 9364"] Even if they aren't all the sudden becoming slower, I'm not so sure some of them haven't lost a step or 2 along the way. While I'm not advocating a complete WR overhaul, I'm not opposed to going after some young speedsters like Jailyn Marshall or Michael Thomas in this next draft to restore some explosiveness back to this offense because I do think we could stand to have some small changes there. I think a big part of our struggles too have been a battered O-line. Against some of the old zone coverage/blitzing defenses we faced, it wasn't as much of an issue, but against teams that both blitz and go man to man, your O-line has to hold up and give your QB a bit of extra time and protection and against good teams like AZ, they were injured and could not do that. So I do think we need some new hogs up front too. And to go along with that last point, I just think Rodgers because of having to escape pressure all the time and deal with a lackluster offense, has resorted to trying to force balls downfield and most of which have been in desperation and not fired on the money. Because throwin it up like Brett Favre lately has not been his MO, but he does seem to be dealing right now with some of the things Favre had to deal with when he had less talented teams around him. I have no nostalgia for Favre or what he did, but seeing those desperation throws coming from Rodgers at a difficult time with this team does want to make me be a little more forgiving of some of Favre's long balls that I didn't like, under some similar circumstances. I think there's a little something though that can be said though, and that is that good WRs are not necessarily plug and play pieces. I think we as football fans often assume that it's the QB that makes the WRs and not the other way around, but I don't think that's necessarily true. I think some talented WRs out there like Edelman and Amendola get underappreciated because of who their QB is, and I think there's a lot of talented WRs out there who don't get all that many of the balls thrown their way or that don't get talked about because they aren't "look at me" kind of guys. But I don't think you can really minimize the value of them, even if they just kinda quietly do the job. So is beating this whole man coverage approach going to get done more so by upgrading personnel or by changing up the playbook? I gotta think probably a little of both. But I don't buy into the lies perpetrating around here that Mike McCarthy has lost the players and Ted Thompson is too lazy to rebuild a team. Absolutely foolish statements get circulating around here with no water in them. [/QUOTE]
