Well, that article was enlightening in one respect - I didn't realize to what extent Jody had become the #4 WR. At the beginning of the season, it really looked like we had a 1a and 1b receiver in Driver and Jenning, and a #3 and #4 that were very close together.
Now it seems like the #3 and #4 WR's have flipped. Is that because Nelson is on KR duty, and it cuts into his WR time? I was a little surprised to see that Jones has been targeted 3x as much as him these past few games.

Nelson had the knee injury a few weeks ago, and since then Jones seems to have moved into, and held, the #3 spot.
Either of those guys are capable of 60 catches a year and 1,000 yards but with Driver, Jennings and Finley on pace to get about 3,000 yards, it just leaves about 1,250 to be split up between Nelson, Jones, Donald Lee and the running backs. I don't really think it's their fault, just not enough footballs to go around. And the way they are running teh ball, it would be a sin not to keep running it. That's just the way it's going this season, a good problem to have, but not a good reflection of the talent of our #3 and #4 receivers.
If we could get a star OL with a comparable contract, I'd honestly trade Jennings. We have more talent at WR than we do OL and Jennings is obviously our hottest piece. It would have to be a really good LT though, and age 26 or younger. I think a move like that would balance out our offense now and for the next few years. There probably isn't a team in the league with a good enough LT that they'd be willing to trade though.

So the solution is, of course, to have Aaron Rodgers throw for 8,000 yards so that everybody can have enough. Someone should tell Aaron.

If he did that, folks would be mad because we abandoned the run game...
