Is the Green Bay Packers depth too much for an ascendent Romeo Doubs to be WR1?



Is the Green Bay Packers depth too much for an ascendent Romeo Doubs to be WR1?

Romeo Doubs improved dramatically in 2023, but as the Packers receiver room deepens, can he fend off challenges from Wicks, Reed, Watson et al and remain Jordan Love’s favorite target? Plus, Jeff Hafley’s defense has to account for one big problem already.

  1. That WR metric is a total bullshit simply by the fact that it says Kalif Raymond and Adam Thielen were better than Justin Jefferson(not even top 10) and Tyreke Hill(not even top 20) last year and OBJ was better than Kelce and Adams who are both outside of top 32 lol

  2. Wicks, Reed, and Watson have more natural Talent but Romeo get open and catches the ball. I think Romeo can be the x receiver. My pick is still wicks

  3. Honestly, if anything was shown to be true throughout last year, it's that whenever I was worried about "Uh oh, who can we count on to make that tough catch for a 3rd-down conversion?" it was pretty much always Doubs. So yeah, I can see him as our "WR1" 🙂

  4. By the comments people still don't get it.PEOPLE talking about route running etc isn't the best but…DUDE pay attention to what people are saying that are there everyday.His route running is SUPER CRISP AND LEGIT.He's quiet and he just come to work ,but just like the game against the Cowboys he was the best player on the field bar none.Year three coming up he will be only better.HES SMOKING ALL PRO DBs in practice .U don't do that by just being good .He's working on being great

  5. NOT WE PETER…U! IF YOUR AN EVERY DAYER THEN U KNOW WE HAVE COMMENTED AGAINST AL THAT NOISE U WERE SPEWING .He keeps saying WE 😂,NO U!!!!Im a Nevada resident I know how good this kid is

  6. Until Watson shows he can play a whole season he’s out of Wr1 convo, he’ll be a glorified decoy while Doubs, reed and wicks collect most of the targets and find out who the top dawg is in that room.

  7. Lets not leave out that Doubs worked out during the offseason with Jordan last year and Im willing to bet they did the same again this year ( Jordan / Doubs have been freinds since colledge )… It is not some big mystery that Doubs and Jordan had a connection right away last year… Jordan was comfortable throwing to Doubs knowing where he would be ( not to take away that Doubs is becomming a Star ) … Now, Jordan Forced too many passes to Doubs the first half of the season and also to Watson when he was back which caused too many interceptions and double / triple covered throws… when Doubs really shined was when the Defenses had to respect Reed ( also Watson when he got the rust off 3rd game back from injury ) and pull defenders which created many single coverages that allowed Jordan to settle in and throw to multiple recievers (.giv8ng credit also to LuFlure getting the TEs up to speed and creating even more defensive coverage issues )… This reciever group this Green Bay Packers team has is almost ridiculous, who cares about a number 1 ( im sure the players do to make more money ) but as a fan this team has Solid speed, great hands and Yac runners that create defensive insanity for D- cordinators… this can look like when Rodgers had Jordy, Cobb and Devante ( scoring on damn near every drive )… 1 problem only this team has IMO is the OFFENSIVE line is not set yet… This will cause some issues that will make Jordon move around in the pocket and be sacked… hopefully the run game will give the necessary push to keep oposing defenses from Blitzing all game… We lost our little elusive RB that ran thru some very small holes that the O-line barely created ( Center and right Guard issues )… if Gute has the magic with the O-line picks this year this team can be a very dangerous entity this year… Only time will tell!! Good news though people are really happy with our LT looking like a stud and has progressed during the offseason our RT is back and is Solid…

  8. As Romeo Doubs shows significant improvement in 2023-24, the Green Bay Packers increasingly crowed wide receiver room poses a challenge for him to maintain his status as Jordan Love’s top target. With competition from players like Dontayvion Wicks, Jayden Reed, and Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs faces pressure to continuously elevate his game. Meanwhile, Jeff Hafley’s defense must contend with a significant challenge that could impact their performance. Romeo Doubs receptions have increased by 30% from the previous season. The Green Bay Packers roster now contains 5 action players vying for significant playing time. Romeo Doubs has emerged as a strong contender for the WR1 position but must outweigh competition within a deep roster. The Packers offense is adapting under Jordan Love’s leadership, affecting field target distributions. I expect ongoing competition in our receiving corps as Romeo Doubs and his peers vie for the prominent role throughout the season, potentially leading to more dynamic plays as they adjust to game strategies. For Romeo Doubs to secure his place as the Packers WR1, he must stay resilient amidst fierce competition and continue to impress, as the Packers look to foster a versatile and effective receiving game under pressure. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛
