Some optimism on the 'Shanaplan'

[Paintrain]

Yep, and we've seen it play out clearly. Also the lack of a playmaking WR. Let's be real, Gaffney, Stallworth, Armstrong, Anderson? They would never see the field on a contender or at best be a #4 WR. Look at GB, Jennings, Driver, Nelson all playmakers. Look at SF, Edwards, Crabtree, Ginn all first rounders. Now none of them is a STAR but all of them fit a role and have playmaking ability. We need a bonafide star at the wideout position via trade or free agency in the upcoming offseason.

Hankerson, Moss, Paul, Austin, Gafney. I believe in these guys.

Armstrong having a bad year and Austin the light has not come on or he is just not very good. I like Gafney as a #2 or #3 Moss a #2 and Hankerson is a #2 thus far. We dont have a #1 on the roster so far.

The best solution: trade for Johnnie Knox. A 4th might get it done.

Hankerson looked like at least a solid #2 in his last game. If he & moss are healthy, our opinion of the wr corps might be quite different.

I would feel better if we had a proven #1 WR going inot next season but it's also possible that if we had a QB any where near as good as Rodgers that some of our current WR's would look like playmakers. And without Rodgers we might look differently on all the GB WR's that we now take for granted as being playmakers.
