I'm here to talk sports, not to make friends. I have enough friends.

No point in discussing issues in depth with someone whom isn't consistent or has different goal post for different people.

You asked for my current top 8, so here you go:

WR1- Lazard
WR2- Watkins
WR3- Watson
WR4- Cobb
WR5- Doubs
WR6- Rodgers
WR7- Toure
WR8- Winfree

So since you are so high on You're, do you think Rodgers is at risk of missing the 53 man roster?

Very valuable from a veteran leadership standpoint, and very close to Aaron, but if he looks a step slower than everyone out there in camp, I could see Gute cutting him loose. Aaron isn't going to freak out over Gute making decisions that are in the best interest of the team as a whole.

I have Cobb at WR4, the top slot guy right now, but Watkins can play in the slot also if need be. And it's very likely that Amari shows a step up in his play this camp. Cobb is expendable for sure. I'd hate to see him go, but I would see it as much more possible than Amari going.

Once Cobb got hot mid-season, he looked alright with his connection with Rodgers.

Aaron isn't going to freak out over Gute making decisions that are in the best interest of the team as a whole.

I am not saying Cobb is gone, I still say my Top 7 stays, but I was saying it's more possible Cobb goes than Amari, who you asked if I thought is a possible cut. Big no on that.

On the Aaron Rodgers/Gute front, I think the situation is different than what you're saying...

I think Rodgers has always understood that the GM has to do what's best for the team... and understands that most years they have to release the #7 WR


I think their issues was that they had very different ways of ranking guys... Ie, Gute had Kumerow as the #7 WR (buh bye) and Rodgers had him as the #2 WR (probably route running, and adjusting to what Rodgers wanted).

While Gute and Rodgers seem to have a much more open line of communication now, I still think their different ways of ranking guys could be an issue.

Though they might discuss said issue before cutting the roster down now, and resolve the issue (maybe, but maybe not as well).

Some years more, some years less. In 2020 when they let Kumerow go, Gute only kept 5 WRs. Tae, Lazard, MVS, EQ, and Malik Taylor.

This year he will be keeping 7(probable)...maybe even 8.😳😏

2021: 6 WRs
2020: 5 WRs
2019: 6 WRs
2018: 8* WRs, but Kumerow and Davis where injuries in preseason and go to the IR before ever playing a game, so 6 WRs.
2017: 5** WRs 5 WR plus We Allison was suspended for 1 week, so 6 WRs
2016: 7 WRs
2015: 5 WRs
2014: 5 WRs
2013: 5 WRs
2012: 6 WRs
2011: 5 WRs
2010: 5 WRs

So the only year they kept more than 6 was 2016. Before that was mostly 5 WRs and after that has been mostly 6 WRs.

I very well may be wrong about Gute keeping 7 at least this year, but I will be first to admit I was wrong. I don't think I will be though. Stay tuned...

You better pray Samori Toure really messes up in camp. Cuz if he and Cobbie make it, then it's 7 guaranteed! And you will have to admit you were wrong. It will be the first time I have ever seen you admit it.

Don't take me the wrong way. I enjoy messin' with you.😌

I'm wrong about a lot, and have even had the balls to make muliple Mock drafts which had multiple wrong things (happens every year) and the balls to post a mock 53 man mock roster, which I've already changed as I think the original was wrong...

And you will have to admit you were wrong.

As for this issue, you'd first have to prove what I've said it couldn't be 7 WRs. If you can find that, I'll admit I'm wrong, as I don't believe I've said that... just pointing out it's most likely 6 healthy WRs because most recent years that's what it is.

If you think of Lazard as more of a TE, keeping 6 makes more sense.
