Allen Lazard had a breakout game on Sunday Night Football. The national crowd that said Aaron Rodgers doesn’t have enough weapons got a warm glass of shut the hell up with Lazard, the tight ends, and much more. It is pretty clear the Packers do have weapons when they’re putting up 41 points per game. So far, Lazard is having an excellent season to begin the 2020 season. Aaron Rodgers has a perfect passer rating whenever throwing the ball to Lazard. He is the only player in the NFL to have that distinction. Yes, he’s a good player.

When will Packers fans admit that Green Bay has a decent receiving core besides Davante Adams? Is it going to take until Week 8 or something? Maybe Week 10? Not sure, but it is getting tough for the haters out there. I get the idea that Green Bay could be better with a rookie receiver, but is Tee Higgins getting a ton of reps over Lazard, or Marquez Valdez-Scantling? I don’t think so. Same goes for Michael Pittman Jr. or any other receiver that has shown some shine in the first few weeks. The only argument for a wide receiver is Equanimous St. Brown having an injury again. Green Bay’s problems are not on their offense it turns out, and like most years, it is their defense that is the problem.

With Adams likely back next week, Lazard will return to second fiddle, but he gets a juicy matchup like the rest of the Packers offense playing the Atlanta Falcons. There is no reason to believe that Lazard can’t follow last week up with another excellent performance. He is here to stay, y’all. Hope you have your nicknames and jerseys ready for him.
