Dontayvion Wicks Is the Packers’ Next Franchise Receiver

Wicks’ playing style has drawn comparisons to former Packers receiver Davante Adams. Like Adams, Wicks exhibits exceptional route-running precision, allowing him to create separation from defenders and make himself available as a reliable target for his quarterback. Both Wicks and Adams demonstrate crisp route breaks, enabling them to quickly change direction and leave defenders trailing in coverage.

Calling it now, Wicks will be the #1 guy by the end of next season.

Doubs thrives as the contested catch specialist

Being able to make contested catches is nice but thriving at it is not something to strive for. Better description for Doubs I believe would be the "jack of all trades with strong hands guy."

I really wish we knew what we had in Watson. He has had some amazing games interspersed with much time in the rehab tub.

I think Reed will receive a lot of touches

Not to argue on the merits of Wicks or Reed or Watson, but I have always had a problem with the psychological need to had a designate "#1" or "franchise" receiver. With the advent of NFL offenses, other than goal line situations there are rarely fewer than 2 wide outs, and a plurality of the time 3.

Its not like having a #1 running back, because a majority of the time, there only is on running back and you have to have a #1 or I guess people would call it a feature back.

As far as our offense goes, I LOVE the balance of having 3 or 4 wideout threats (in addition to 2 TE threats.) It give us great balance and a much more difficult scheme to defend. With a strong, well-balanced group, we can attack defensive weaknesses more effectively irrespective or who our #1 is .

Further, I think having a #1 or feature guy brings locker room and contract issues which I would rather not have.

Go Packers!!!!

Wicks will be our best route runner (aka Jennings, Adams)

Watson will be out 6 games and the injured player who had all the potential in the world to be great. (aka Javon Walker)

Zero2Cool (23h) : Oh yeah, for sure. That's just not fair thoguh.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Zero, what I meant was that surely a tech and IT genius such as yourself would find a way to change the pick

Zero2Cool (23h) : Well, I mean, I know I did, but might not have waited for it to register and went into Chat. Oh well

Zero2Cool (23h) : Or so I thought I did. lol

Zero2Cool (23h) : I had Colts for few days to throw everyone off. At 11am or so, I changed it to Packers.

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Packers defense has 6 Takeaways in two games.

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : nah

Martha Careful (15-Sep) : I think I've been booted out of the chat room

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Jordan Love has his left leg wrapped in a sleeve as he stands on the sidelines during National Anthem.

dhazer (12-Sep) : and he rejects it because I rejected his trade of the 49ers backup B for Mcaffery lol

Zero2Cool (11-Sep) : AH, ok. i got that one quick, but thought maybe there's something more

Zero2Cool (11-Sep) : De’Von Achane practiced today in what appeared to be a lighter walkthrough session.
