This could be the year that someone suplants DD, not totally but partially. a 50 catch season for Jordy is not out of the question...of course 90 for Finley isnt either

Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

Agreed! I am sour on JJ for one game...but they both could be damn good.Originally posted by Brandon494Its really hard for me to decide if I like Nelson or Jones better as the #3. I guess that is a good problem to have though.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

This.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View PostWhy I think this will be a breakout year for Jordy Nelson? Because I see him as being a lot like Houston's Kevin Walter, and it took Walter four years before he became a solid starting receiver. I think Jones is agile. I don't think he is as quick as Justin thinks he is. He has strong hands and makes tough catches, but he lacks concentration and drops too many balls. He's strong, but doesn't really break tackles. I still see them as I have the last couple of years. Right now, they are relatively similar, but I think Jordy will get better in the next couple of years. I think Jones is a bit limited and he is what he is. Two years from now, I think it's more likely that Nelson will be a solid starting receiver and Jones will be a solid third receiver because of speed limitations. Not that Jordy isn't limitied in quickness, but I think his other qualities trump Jones.

Neither Jordy nor James are lightning quick in their first steps or with their cuts in routes, not like Jennings or Driver. But Nelson has a top gear that few are going to match (see Rams game or Talib video from his Kansas St. days). Whether that limits Jones or not I can't say for sure, as he still seems to get behind a lot of CBs.Originally posted by Upnorth View PostDo you really think Jones has speed issues? I dont see that as limiting his game, but rather consistency.Last edited by pbmax; 11-08-2011, 09:27 AM.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

I see Jones as more of a runner that's slower from the start but just gets faster and faster. It's more of a gradual increase vs an explosion of that top gear that just wows you.Originally posted by pbmax View PostNeither Jordy nor James are lightning quick in their first steps or with their cuts in routes, not like Jennings or Driver.
