Whos the breakout player on the Pack this year?

[Deputy Nutz]

A lot of players played better than expected. Donald Lee. Clifton bounced back from some down years. Its almost more challenging to look for weaknesses. The fullbacks have been unimpressive.

Actually the play from the fullbacks have been a pleasant surprise especially in the second half of th season.

[Harlan Huckleby]

fullbacks should be catching screen passes, flare outs. I guess they pass protect ok. I'm not sure what you are seeing. they don't get any carries.

[Bossman641]

Fullbacks never get carries. I have been disappointed with the pass-catching of the FB's, but they really never have any chances. Favre used to love the 3rd down pass to Henderson, now there's hardly even a RB in on 3rd down, let aone a FB.

[MJZiggy]

That's because we have an incredibly dangerous WR corps out there (who would have predicted that in August?)

I was shocked that they could turn Hall from a college LB into a serviceable FB that quickly.

Clifton had down years? WTF? The dude has been protecting Favre's blindside impeccably for 8 years.

People have been saying they thought "this", meaning 2005, 2006, and now 2007, would be the last year he would be effective due to nagging injuries. I think he'll be a starter for another year or two. He's an absolute stud!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Clifton definitely took a step back after his serious hip injury. He looks as good as ever this year.

[Fritz]

Jennings, to me. Put it this way: if Ted's pick is coming up in, say, the second round, and you had to tell him to pick a wide receiver or a running back, which would you want?

No brainer

Not even the most diehard fan on this site predicted the #'s he put up this season

Agree

[MJZiggy]

Hell, Favre himself couldn't (and wouldn't) predict this before the season started...

[Iron Mike]

Desmond Bishop

Nobody else remembers the wood Bishop laid down in the pre-season???

Jacked Up!!!!!

In a few years when he's starting over Nick Barnett, I'm gonna bump this thread.

[PackerPro42]

Jennings, Grant, Jolly - flip a coin.

Where the fuck are we going to find a three sided coin?


I'll go with Grant, the guys a playmaker.

Under McCarthy's control, he is, at least in my opinion, finally fulfilling his true potential. When the out-of-control gunslinger mentality is kept in check, the rookie mistakes disappear, and the Packers win games.

It seems ridiculous to say Favre given his career and unbelievable seasons, but Shadows got a good point. Nfl Network reaired the Seahawks/Packers playoff game and even then Brett threw a few ridiculous passes to noone in particular 45 yards down the field, when Holmgren was coaching him he used fear, Shermy simply didn't coach him, and so for the first time in his career I think that Brett is showing his full potential, partly because of his maturity and partly because M3 is making him accountable without screaming at him. I think that he is a perfect fit for Brett and is why I vote for Favre also. If you look back, this is the only season that Brett is making great plays without all the baggage. Credit McCarthy for that.

[MJZiggy]

You should finish that thought and just vote McCarthy.
