And of you can't establish yourself with Rodgers throwing the ball (who is one of the most accurate passers ever), it may not get any better for either.
Maybe it's not fair, but guys who don't step up when called upon, no matter when they get their chance, usually end up being fringe players.
Neither of those guys might ever make it to elite status, but, especially given Rodgers propensity for extending plays and ad libbing, I think its fair to give em a little slack/time to get in sync with Rodger's style and be where he expects them to be at all times. Hardly any of Rodgers #1's where good at all right out of the gate. Jordy seasoned for 3 years before getting a real shot and wasn't a world beater while phasing Driver out, and Adams was little more than an after thought his first two, despite nearly 100 targets his sophomore season.
All good points but disagree on Adams. Not looking at his history, but off the top of my head he seemed to be relevant even as a WR3 in GB. Tough for a WR3 on any franchise become relevant. That's kind of what I'm talking about.
true, Cobb easily had the most targets, James Jones had 99, and Adams had 94. But if 94 targets from Aaron Rodgers isnt your time to grab an opportunity and shine, I dunno what is. And shine he did not..with thos 94 targets, he caught 50 for sub 500 yards and one score. now he's considered top tier. It can happen. Some just need a touch more polish and TLC.
My guess is Patterson becomes the primary return guy.
. Probably why I'm not on the Bears' payroll.
