WR Corp Not Getting Any Love?

[Fritz]

I hope you are right. I'd like us to be cheering a 5-2 Packer team in a month from now.

That is not likely to happen. I said "when the line changes". I didn't say that would be soon. Overlooking a suitable backup at LT is a critical mistake that I do not think is fixable in the middle of the season. If Cliffy holds up, maybe, but how likely is that?

But I stand by what I said, "IF" the OL gets fixed the offense will be just fine, and maybe even stellar. Wish I thought "IF" would be soon...

Plain and simple -- too many drops. The group is clearly under performing.

Respectfully, I don't think it's that plain and simple at all.

Where the hell are the rest of them?

DD has dropped a lot of balls - but then again, he has a little history of that.

James Jones has been invisible.

Jordy Nelson has been translucent.

Rodgers is too busy looking where the next hit is coming from to see them open. Receivers are not the problem. Rodgers is not the problem. Offensive line IS the problem. When that changes, the rest of it will fix itself.

Our line is bad on an epic scale, but Rodgers is getting happy feet and compounding the problem by not hitting his checkdowns when he feels the heat. Drops also add to the problem.

Just as I said last year, a few small things could change out line in a hurry...COULD. Imagine we sign Tausch and he looks back to form. Imagine cliffy gets hurt again and we sign Levi who looks like he has regained form. All of a sudden the OL could look really good in a hurry. Hell, just Tausch with cliffy looking solid would change things a lot.

Better question is why isn't Driver on the list. 7 or 8 straight seasons 1000 yards, averaging 5 TD's a season.

I mean, the guy has been a beast for us, and is still a beast for us this year.

That is the true embarassment. GJ has to do it another year or two to be up there. Right now he had a pretty decent rookie year, a great year the last year favre was here, and pretty good year last year. This year, he has sucked. Not TO suck, but pretty much.

1,293 Yards, 9 TD and 80 receptions in 2008 for GJ, that is a lot better than pretty good.

Yikes.

I apologize. How have those numbers translated to this year? How he can be listed as one of the best in the NFC THIS YEAR, when he's not even the best on the team this year. Who's the best? Reliable DD.

I didn't say anything about his 2009 performance. His 2008 performance was way above "pretty good."

[MadtownPacker]

I didn't say anything about his 2009 performance. His 2008 performance was way above "pretty good."

I would call it "pretty good" cause 100 catches, 12-15 TDs and 1400yds counts as great IMO. That is way above good.

Greg Jennings in 2008 was:
16th in catches
6th in yards
8th in TDs
1st in receptions for 40+ yards

Anytime you have a WR who is in the top 10 in 2 out of the 3 main receiving stats and 3 of 3 in the top 20 thats damn good.

[Scott Campbell]

Something is definitely wrong with Jennings. He has disappeared from the offense. I continue to believe he has an injury we haven't heard about.

Lingering wrist issues?
