And yet the same folks who talk about the elite guys on the Packers roster bemoan the Packers organization for not getting weapons around the QB. 🤦♂️

But the talk about Rodgers not having a 1st round draft pick to throw to is just plain stupid, he's had a lot of 2nd rounders, though not a ton lately.
Also PFF said Lazard has been the best blocking WR in the NFL... so maybe not all around, but he is elite in a way too! And that's how he gets so freaking wife open at times despite his lack of speed. Safety or DBs will read run, knowing he's a great blocker will want to get an early attack on the run, and then he just fake blocks them and let them go by while he keeps running! And Lazard and Rodgers seem to have very good communications.
MVS has great speed, he does have a drop problem, but he's also had to wait for Rodgers ball to often as well, otherwise BOTH his drops and TDs could both be 25% more!
Aaron Jones is just one slippery fella, with quickness and that is great at reading blocks.
I was disappointed they didn't try to get Dillon going more, thout after the Titans game, Rodgers had a quote were it sounded like Dillon hasn't been great in practice... it wasn't a knock, just like they weren't sure what they were going to get either. And how Rodgers had to do a lot of extra behind the back hand signals and other stuff for Dillon, just to make sure he was going the right direction, I got the feeling Dillon hadn't fully learned the playbook yet, at least not to Rodgers comfortability.
But Dillon has great potential... though watching his highlights of last season, I did get concerned that defensive players (especially DBs) play after play after play after play, kept diving at his mid/lower legs. I'm thinking at some point he's going to have knee injuries simple from defenders choosing to hit him there over and over and over again.
