Im trying to be optimistic here but i just cant. Adding a WR would be a good thing not for the team, but for the QB. Rodgers has never utilized a rookie WR regardless of their status. If they drop a pass, he will ignore them the rest of the game and possibly longer. This whole earning his trust crap is what stops the development of our young WRs. Hell even a vet like Lewis got that treatment during the SF game.

2008: Nelson, he wasn't ready until like 3.5 years when he truely broke out.
2011: Cobb, they had a deep WR depth keeping Cobb in the bench and Cobb and Rodgers chemistry was great, and Rodgers won NFL MVP!
2014: Adams: had less than 60% catch rate and was #3 behind Nelson and Cobb whom dominated and once again Rodgers won NFL MVP.
2015: Ty Montgomery: I don't this he's developed into a starter with any QB yet.
2018: Moore, MVS, St. Brown... I think you can easily say Moore and St. Brown haven't developed into starters yet... MVS: I can argue that Rodgers should of had better chemistry with MVS, but for whatever reason, they always seemed a bit off the same page, but that was for four years, not just a rookie.
2021: Rodgers: he didn't seem to get on the field much...
Unless your specifically talking about MVS, I just don't see another case where Rodgers was in the position with a rookie WR that was ready to do that much more than they did as a rookie, as either the talented WR depth has held the rookie WR back (like with Cobb and Adams), or the WR just wasn't that good as a rookie (Monty, Moore, Rodgers).
So Rodgers is either 0/0 or 0/1 either way, it's an extremely small sample to make a judgement on how Rodgers is with ready to go rookie WRs, which by the way, most aren't ready to go as rookies like Greg Jennings was.
