My point in all these receiver conversations is why the hell can't our GM go get us an elite receiver to make Rodger's job easier? A team with a stacked secondary can make Rodgers look average because we don't have that absolute difference maker. It's a piece to the puzzle we should already have in place. Very frustrating to keep watching the same complacency.

Still, I agree with you. Think about what this Offense could do if we had a guy like Bryant, Beckham, Green, Cooper or Jones... It wouldn't just give Rodgers a weapon the likes he's never had, but it shifts coverage to one side of the field and calls for double coverage and safeties helping over the top. It improves your entire receiving group.
The only problem with that is that those athletic freaks are generally gone when we're drafting, combined with the fact that our FO doesn't seem to have high positional value on WR (in the draft). Those five guys I mentioned were all drafted with top 12 picks, apart from Dez who droppe due to character issues.
Still, it would be rather amazing to see Rodgers play with a guy like that.
