WR Martin signs

[oregonpackfan]

I have mixed feelings towards Ruvell Martin. He has height, a good arm span, reasonable speed, good team attitude, etc.

At the same time, he has dropped several crucial passes like the one over the middle in the Giants game. Catching that pass around the Giants' 20 yard line would have converted the first down and extended the drive. The Packers had to punt the ball away after the drop.

Good signing: he's cheap, and he has a good rapport with Rodgers from the scout team/practice squad. My guess is this played into it somewhat. Holliday was released and I can't remember the deal w/ Bodiford, so this is a good move by TT. Martin was usually pretty surehanded last year (clutch in a few cases). The drop in the NYG game was tough. He wasn't the only one dropping passes that game.
He's a #4 WR at best.
If they draft a WR, it should push the rest of the group...especially Martin and KRob.

That's the only pass I can remember Ruvell dropping that season. He's got good hands.

The only thing holding him back is not getting enough balls thrown his way. If Ruvell makes it through camp, I hope Aaron builds a connection with him. Ruvell could be a #4 WR on any team, a #3 WR on some teams, a #2 WR on the Vikings, a #1 WR on the Bears.

He isn't called Ruvell "Give 'em Hell" Martin for nothing. Kid can play.

Martin is OK. You won't get anything better than him in the #4/#5 WR spot.

Not a bad signing. Him and Jennings seemed like the only true red zone threats last season. It wont hurt for Rodgers to have a tall WR to lob the ball to if he gets in trouble inside the 10 yd line.
