Who could they have had for the kind of money we had available to spend? No one!
Yes, an elite wr would help but facing zone all the time the guys we have are open on virtually every play- at least one or two on every play this week was open and Fields didn’t throw to them.
Yes it would be nice to have a guy that you can trust and just throw to regardless of really looking at the coverage bc he’s that good but to make it the reason why Fields isn’t playing well just isn’t true.
The cap has gone back up giving teams the money to sign important players- almost no one would have predicted that the list of elite wr’s receiving new deals and LT’s would have all signed.
That’s not the usual. I didn’t see that happening but I did ask the question here what if it does after the first couple signed.
I’m sure Poles wasn’t the only one expecting a couple of them to be available next year.
There is an element of luck involved with Football too. Next years draft doesn’t look as loaded on the wr front and couple that with no one being available to sign as a free agent, we have to draft one early and hit that pick.
Having said that, if you look at the first three games all 22, it’s not the wr’s fault- every play last week, Fields had someone open and more often than not a couple or more were open including some deep shots.
I think he’s so fascinated with getting through progressions that he’s not pulling the trigger. If one’s open, take it!
He looks to be looking for the best open receiver that’ll get him the most yards or td possibility but that’s just not how it works. There’s just not enough time.
I bet if we look at Rodgers all 22 on almost all of his pass plays there was either someone more open or open for a bigger play.
