Lazard was successful in Green Bay because they used him a lot in the run game due to his blocking and then Rodger’s trusted him in the passing game. His blocking makes him a unique WR. Hopefully the jets use him like the Packers did now that Rodger’s is back.

I am almost positive his last season in Green Bay he led the NFL in % of receptions that were for a first down. He was their key player when they needed it

Entering the later stages of his career, wonder if him bulking up another 15-20 pounds he moves to TE with his blocking prowess. Most TE's run routes exclusively these days anyways.

Such a conundrum for me…. I want to see Lazard, Breece, and McDonald have awesome seasons…. but I want to see Rodgers fail miserably. Is that possible?
Feel the same way. Packers fan for life and so at least that conflict gone. Husband saw some weird thing about Jets maybe getting Trevor Lawrence which I think surely wasn’t accurate.

When it comes to football, I wouldn't call him ignorant. He most likely knows 100x more than all of us on this board put together.

He’s definitely book smart and good at trivia, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t ignorant.

He looks noticeably lighter and trimmer in camp thus far.

His time to become a TE was in college :)

They should actually try and use him like he was used in Ames --

Built an entire offense behind running and throwing screens behind his blocking. Then occasionally feed him 50-50 deep balls off play-action where his height, hands, and timing give him the advantage.

For whatever reason, I've found that in the NFL, I'm happy to cheer for the Iowa State players vs. the team I claim to like (Vikings). I'm a full on 49er's fan now and will cheer for any Iowa State player over the Vikings (i.e. I was not sad when the Packers beat the Vikings when Lazard was playing for them.)

That's different than the NBA because I hated the Bulls no matter who played for the them (Fizer, Willoughby, Hoiberg, etc).

I think a 100x is probably on the lower side for that estimate...

Rodgers is an all-timer even if he comes with some weird "California bro" personality quirks.

But he's no worse than the tenth (and probably better than that) QB of all-time.

I think my top ten list would be something like this (in no particular order outside of AZ)...

Brady
Brees
Elway
Favre
Graham
Manning
Marino
Montana
Rodgers
Unitas

Rodgers ahead of Mahomes? Nah.
