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!!!!

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

beast (5h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (5h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (5h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (5h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (5h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (5h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (5h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (5h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (7h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (7h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (7h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (21h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
