Did the wide receivers magically get good?

Well he has been hurt a lot of the year....which is not super surprising

I think the offense is finally working to his benefit too. He's had some very impressive catches the last couple weeks, and especially this week.

Despite Reich throwing him under the bus he didn't quit on the team and I think that is showing in his play.  Of course a professional shouldn't, but still.

Gave up 500 yds last week to baker and made a giants backup qb look like tom brady but hey dont mention how bad the defenses are... you can only do that with andy dalton and other qbs. 

I mean you ask anyone around here last week and they'd tell you BY would struggle to put up 200 yards against a college defense. Baby steps. Yesterday was a big day for Bryce and our offense. Hopefully it's a sign of things go come

I was going to say part of the reason was the defensive scheme of the most unpopular man in Packer land, Joe Barry. The funny thing, though, is that I saw a lot more man-to-man that I expected yesterday. I searched and confirmed that they did actually went more man against us.

Bryce consistently made NFL caliber throws in to tight windows with confidence, with timing. It’s so completely different and unrecognizable from what we’ve seen up to this point. It was like trying to compare a kiwi fruit to a king cobra. 

I think the entire offense finally has a philosophy and identity that suits their talent. 

We finally saw Bryce throw on schedule with confidence. The receivers are talented. Chark and Thielen aren’t bums. This Sullivan cat… where did this guy come from? Practice squad call up? He’s got gamer vibes all day. When he’s open, He gets WIDE open. Mingo hasn’t shown me anything promising, Chuba now catching everything that comes his way. 

The receivers are talented. They are good players. Today was just different, and it built on some things we saw last week. 

Yesterday was a step in the right direction, regardless of who they played. I hope it continues.

I think it also helps having a formidable rushing attack. GB was sending rush blitzes quite often, and the defense as a whole focused primarily on making us one dimensional. They succeeded, however, didn’t expect Bryce and the WRs to take off in the passing game.

Receivers didn't get good all of a sudden. Thomas is using guys like they SHOULD be used and not just forcing concepts, like Chark being a deep route guy. He isn't that right now. And whoever is making the personnel decisions... where have you been? The improved protection is making the QB and the receivers look light years better. And no idea why Marsette wasn't getting burn. We all could see it, but Reich couldn't. He needs to be a key cog in the offense. Easily the best playmaker on the team.

I think the extra second the o-line is giving Bryce is helping him see maturation in the routes and route concepts that he previously had no chance to observe. You can tell he’s still late in his decision making, but you can see his excitement when he sees what he expects to see, and now that can he see the offense working it’s giving him greater confidence in the scheme.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
