I don't really buy this. It's impossible, however, to compare players from different eras. But I do think that if you moved Hutson to this era, he'd not only have the competition of this era, but he'd also have the training available to top athletes and wouldn't have to have a job in the offseason.Originally posted by MOBB DEEPFREEMAN.....duh!!!

You're right MJ, hard to compare eras so its semi-senseless to argue it.....especially because things u cant coach like heart, dedication, evolution, creatine (lol )and skills are major components of successOriginally posted by MJZiggyI don't really buy this.

Yea, I remember Perry "Hands" Kemp.Originally posted by Iron MikeNobody remembers Commodore Perry Kemp???
Snake was a little Snake back in 1991 at the 49er-Packer game in Lambeau. Majik was still the QB, albeit a shell of his magic self being banged up and stuff. Somehow we had a chance to win (I think we had the lead late in the game) but Perry "Hands" Kemp fumbled the ball away late in the game and Joe Montana ended up winning it late with a 400 yard passing game.
Kemp (not just because of the game) was probably the most overrated Packer WR EVER this side of Antonio "Pay Me So I Can Eat And Tail Off After One Fantastic Year And Completely Lose My Skills That Made Me Great Before I'm Even Close to 30 Years Old" Freeman. That's just my opinion though.
By the way...sorry for not putting up Loften, an other option, and Sanjay Beach in this poll. My bad.
Snake's Twitter comments would be LEGENDARY.........if I was ugly or gave a shit about Twitter.

A lot has to do with the eras ypu play in. Today, there are simply a lot better WR's then there were back in the 90's, and before. Sharpe was a beast, but htere are lot of wr's today that can do what he did if you threw them in that Era... DRiver may be one of them.
Driver's career started way slower the Sharpe's too, as he was a 7th round draft pick. Sharpe was put on the field, if I remember right, in his first season. DRiver was like the #4 or 5 guy the first couple years of his career, and no one found out how good he really was till year 4.
Also, Driver has never been a top 5 wr? He's been to prowbowls, so thats a falicy. He holds the consecutive games with a catch record, yards, and most catch record now.
DD has a strong case. You can say he has been #2 most his career and thats a lie. Walkers break out year it was DD that #1. When we had Ferguson... DRiver was #1. A majority of the time we have had GJ, Driver has been #1. GJ took over the spot last season... and Driver so far has completely taken it back this year.
I didn't get to watch people before them, so I can;t comment.
I know this: Driver is really good, and I think we all underapreciate him still.

I agree about the era thing. From what I hear, Hutson just dominated his era decades ago. I know nothing of him, but sounds like he was a beast...but DD couldn't hold a candle to game-to-game dominance by either Hutson or Sharpe in their primes.Originally posted by packerbacker1234A lot has to do with the eras ypu play in.

I grew up watching the Packers in the Majik-Sharpe era. Sharpe absolutely dominated games and carried some early 90's teams to victories on his back. DD is a great second fiddle WR, but Sharpe would still dominate the NFL today, esp. with greater emphasis on passing games, hands/contact with DB's, etc. The guy was strong as an ox...had hand's with stick'em...caught everything his way...had a knack for getting open deep like Greg Jennings does now...and won games for a young Favre by himself....
I don't remember DD dominating games at all. There's always been dozens of players in the league I'd take over DD in a given year at WR....
DD's a good second fiddle guy that is underrated somewhat..sure. But Sterling was the whole damn orchestra before he ws forced to retire at 27 years old. That made Snake pretty sad, as Sterling was prob. my favorite Packer as a young Packer fan. Nobody schemes their defense to stop DD like they did for Sterling. The guy would be triple-teamed and still carry 4 guys into the endzone. DD has heart, but Sharpe had a killer instinct unmatched for a WR.Snake's Twitter comments would be LEGENDARY.........if I was ugly or gave a shit about Twitter.

A lot of people forget about the legends from the 30s thru 50s. Hutson was the pioneer of the elite WRs.
Sharpe... fantastic player, but turned to be an absolute di** after getting lambasted in his rookie year by some of the media. I remember working at a Kaukauna newspaper and Sharpe came to a youth football banquet in town. Granted an interview to our little hick paper and everything.
He was Brett's crutch for the longest time and delivered most of the time. Then came the holdout right before the opener with Minny.
Double D is the epitome of keeping yourself in shape and overcoming superlong odds as a 7th rounder. Super nice guy, clutch performer. He got this title due to keeping himself in top shape and being a consistent player.-digital dean
