[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 978209, member: 17987"] Yep. You know what they say: "When people show you who they are, believe them the first time." Watkins has been trying to tell us who he is for the better part of the last decade and for whatever reason our front office decided to just not believe him. It is what it is. I'm fine with taking that chance but we shouldn't act like what we're seeing is any surprise nor that it's something that would be fixed by Rodgers and others attending voluntary OTAs. And I think that issue in and of itself has been *massively* blown out of proportion. I don't know if it's people just desperate to have "an answer" or just latching onto anything that can be used as a criticism against Rodgers but I just don't see it. He's missed OTAs in the past and it's not been an issue. Brady has missed OTAs plenty of times in Super Bowl-winning years. We've added some new guys to the defense, too - Jaire, Rasul, Preston, and Gary all missed time at OTAs; are we going to blame our defense's issues on their lack of attendance, too? And as mentioned, Watkins did not attend, nor did Lazard IIRC. And I would make the case that it's not just about a 1-to-1 QB-to-WR getting on the same page but rather the QB being on the same page with *each* WR AND the WRs being on the same page with the others. If Rodgers' absence from OTAs is going to be given as a reason for our struggles on offense then I would expect to see similar criticisms levied at Lazard and Watkins and others but I've not seen much of that at all yet. Ultimately voluntary OTAs are what, 8, 9 days? It sure looks to me like our issues are a lot deeper than anything that a week and change worth of practices would have fixed. And of course no matter how you slice it Rodgers could attend every single second of every voluntary practice, meeting, run-through, he could show up with the rookies to pick up trash in the parking lot in their spare time and that's still not going to do anything about the simple lack of talent in the WR room.
