What to do at WR next year

[bobblehead]

I think I have been as big a JJ supporter as anyone, but what makes anyone think teams will give up a pick for a guy they didn't want to sign a year ago? Did he have such a big season that he is now a commodity? Anyway, loved you DD, time to move on. Throw him a party, buy him some luggage and bring Gurley off the PS.

I don't think Jennings had a catching problem. Granted, Jones, Nelson, and Finley.

It would have been nice if Jennings had caught the end zone pass in the playoff game, but it was no gimmee.

Nelson? Nelson dropped very few balls this year. I think Finley was the main culprit, and Driver seemed to drop more balls than normal.

[HarveyWallbangers]

According to the Washington Post, Finley dropped 11 balls while no Packers receiver was on the list for most drops. That list went down to players with 5 or more. So, according to them, no Packers WRs dropped more than 4 balls.

According to McGinn:

At wide receiver, Greg Jennings led with 4 in 106 (4.72%), which is just slightly higher than his rate in 2010 (six in 159, 3.77%) and '09 (six in 128, 4.69%).

The others were Jordy Nelson, 5 in 100 (5%); Randall Cobb, 2 in 34 (5.89%); Donald Driver, 5 in 61 (8.2%); and James Jones, 6 in 57 (10.53%).

As a whole, the wide receivers dropped 23 of 358 targeted passes, or 6.43%.

Jermichael Finley had the worst drop rate with 13 in 103, or 12.62%. He didn't drop any of 25 last season, and in his first three seasons he dropped 7 of 117, or 6%.

Also at tight end, Tom Crabtree dropped 1 of 9, Andrew Quarless and D.J. Williams each dropped 1 of 4 and Ryan Taylor dropped 1 of 2.

More deep routes.

Keep six wrs. Quarless probably will be on IR next seaon so we probably won't keep more than 3 Te's. You can keep Jennings, Nelson, Jones, Cobb, Driver, and a young guy like Gurley. THe problem is Driver is clearly no better than the fifth best wr on the team IMO. Is he okay playing 5-10 snaps or less a game?

[Pugger]

I wonder if they'll put Quarless on the PUP list to start the season like we did with Starks in 2010?

Trading JJ might not be a bad idea but what team besides SF would want him? He didn't excite a lot of teams in the offseason last year. If DD is willing to take a pay cut he'll be back in camp this summer.

[Fritz]

Sounds like a pay cut for the Donald. Or maybe just a cut.

Driver is a hell of a great Packer.....but he's going to be how old next year..? 37 or so...man. If he makes it to the starting roster again I'll be somewhat surprised....but the guy has beaten the odds before.
