DD to Break Sterling's Catch Record. Best WR EVER in GB?

[SnakeLH2006]

Sterling Sharpe dominated over 7 years and set the record with the first 2 100 catch seasons in NFL history. Over 7 years Sharpe fucking dominated and was arguably the best WR in the NFL (vs. Jerry Rice at the time) but set records with the first two 100 catch seasons in NFL History. Sterling brought a new age of WR diva....before Diva's at WR were common. He was tough as nails....caught everything...made TD's....and dominated games.

Snake was a teen....but remembered Sterling absolutely DOMINATING games. Favre wasn't the top guy then. Sharpe was. I see now DD with his talk show talking crap how he's (he's said it) said he's the best WR in Packer history. As good as Sterling was....I call on Fritz and Maxie to bring up Don Hutson. Some say he was the best player in NFL history. Hutson.

Thus the poll. DD is good, but arguably ALWAYS the 2nd option at WR in an age of WR's. I like DD, but damn if he's that good...It's taken him 11 years to catch Sterling. Sterling Sharpe was a beast man in his 7 seasons (All-Pro Yearly and cut short with his neck injury in 1994)..it took DD 11 to catch him. Hutson was a phenom.....would like to hear from Rats that saw Hutson play. DD is not the man....His show is a joke.

Hutson was the man...but Sterling Sharpe was the guy who made WR a major thing in the early 90's and made Brett a star. I say Sharpe by a hair over Hutson based on that. As dominant as Hutson was...was he the difference maker for alll those 1960's championships with only 12 teams in the NFL? Or with the early 90's...with 30 teams was Sharpe that good? I bet on Sharpe. Sharpe would have had EVERY WR record if he didn't have to retire at only 27 years old with almost 600 catches and so many TD's and big plays...He woulda took all the records from Jerry Rice (who I feel is overrated....played till he was 42).

DD is a nice guy. Sharpe wasn't....but hell DD or GJ couldn't carry Sharpe's jockstrap in the early 90's. Sharpe was one of the top 10 players in the league no doubt. DD isn't even/wasn't one of the best 5 in ANY year of Packer players.....Sharpe dominated the NFL. Sick of DD's talk shows...DD is only a 2nd tier WR at best EVER. Sharpe DOMINATED the league in his prime. DD=above average WR in an age of stats. Sterling would have wasted all those stats if he didn't have to retire at 27 with a neck injury. That guy was the best Packer player by far in the early 90's. DD should suck his cock and shut the fuck up on his show. It's sad. Sharpe and Hutson would warp DD's stats over the years/championships. I like DD, but WTF? His show is a joke. Sharpe and Hutson are SOOOOO much better than him.

A strong case can be made that Hutson was the most dominant football player at any position in any era.

Without question he is the best WR GB has had.

Definitely not disputing that at all. Snake is 29. Grew up with Sharpe as the WR. I had a great conversation on Rats about Bart Starr with Maxie lately...thus the poll.

I admit I know nothing of Hutson....how good was he? Like the poll stated...maybe Hutson was one of the most dominant players EVER. How good was he? From guys who seen him play (Snake only knows Sharpe being 10x the player DD is) he was a beast-man. True???? Was Hutson that good? Maybe that's why GB won all those pre-Super Bowl titles?

I have no probs with that. If anyone votes for DD or GJ...there WILL be problems, yo.

This order as I see it:

Don Hutson; Sterling Sharpe (and both dominant in games) and then Donald Driver ( a real giver on and off the field ).

[SnakeLH2006]

This order as I see it:

Don Hutson; Sterling Sharpe (and both dominant in games) and then Donald Driver ( a real giver on and off the field ).

First off Snake loves some DD. He's Packer Peeps...but he's prob. bottom (like number 10 if lucky) of best Packer WR's EVER. Shit....he's NEVER been the #1 receiver in in his 11 years to break Sharpe's pass record he's glorified on his OWN TV show. Robert Brooks was pedestrian in the mid 90's Super Bowl Run but would run shop over DD. I bet these old rats like Waldo, Maxie, Fritz, et. all could name 10 WR's that could run shop over DD as #3 all time at WR for the Green Bay Packers.

Like I said...Snake likes DD, but he can only hold a candle to the former WR's despite soon getting the most Packer catches over 11 seasons. I'd take Lofton over him....and don't even remember him.

Add James Lofton and you have three that would be ranked over DD as good as DD has been.

[Gunakor]

Don Hutson was definitely the best Packers WR ever. Hutson is in Jerry Rice's company. You have to remember, there were a lot less games back in his day. So he's not going to catch as many balls.

Sterling Sharpe was absolutely dominant during his playing days. It's too bad Sharpe's career ended too early because of injury, or we might be talking about HIM as the best Packer WR ever. He's another one that could have joined Jerry Rice/Don Hutson company, especially with 7+ more years catching balls from Brett Favre in his prime.

Driver is a tough, gritty, hard nosed, fearless type player. I love him to death. But as good as he is, as reliable as he can be, as much as he does for this team... He's not Sterling Sharpe, and he's not Don Hutson.

[Pugger]

Hutson revolutionized the WR position and he still has a handful of NFL records on the books. It took several decades and changes in passing rules before anybody broke those records he once held.

So...how do you like DD's talk show?

[Iron Mike]

Imagine where DD would be if he didn't drop every third pass thrown to him.

[woodbuck27]

In today. Go Donald Driver. I've always been a big fan of his life and efforts and he's been a solid Packer.

GO PACK GO!

[MJZiggy]

His mom is pretty cool too. Sweet lady.

[Cleft Crusty]

This poll is absurd, frankly. Hutson was the best the Packers ever had, but only by a hair. Then James Lofton. Lofton was as fine an athlete as the Packers have ever had on their roster. Sharpe was a fine receiver, but he got almost every pass thrown to him in the Favre-led west coast offense directed by Holmgren. Driver is a gutty receiver who is tough as nails going across the middle. Great effort, fearless receiver, but nowhere near as graceful and as tremendous a route runner as Lofton. Lofton could be argued to be the best. Hutson feasted on depleted war time rosters. Lofton endured on horrible Packer teams; when he had a relatively healthy Dickey at QB and some decent weapons around him (In Green Bay, and late in his career at Buffalo), Lofton showed what a game changer he was. Had Lofton been in Jerry Rice's shoes, he would have put up bigger numbers. He was that good.

[Scott Campbell]

I respectfully disagree with the heavily medicated Cleft Crusty. I think Sharpe was better than Lofton.

[red]

sharpe was a beast, maybe one of the best ever if it wasn't for the neck injury. he revolutionized the position

but not as much as hutson. he was the best ever

hutson, sharpe, lofton, driver

and thats no knock on driver
