What production do you expect from GREG JENNINGS?

[BooHoo]

I don't like drafting WR's in the first round, I've seen many teams,(Lions), get burned doing that, and I'm so glad TT was able to take him in the 2nd round. Hawk/Jennings/Hodge, pretty sweet draft so far.

It appears it was a very good draft. Only time will tell if these guys are the real deal or just a bunch of bench sitters.

Barring any setbacks, I see 800 yards, 5TDs.

...and that's me being pessimistic.

True, but I haven't seen so many draft picks show flashes of talent since the Ron Wolf years. Hawk/Jennings/Hodge have all had good games. I just find it refreshing. Then you think about Jolly, & Moll, Ingle & Ruvell Martin, I just think it was a great draft. They can teach Colledge. Wahle didn't pick it up right away either. Two other WR's were picked ahead of Jennings and they haven't done squat yet.

Honestly, I think he's going to turn out to be the best WR from that class. In today's NFL most GM's just look for speed, speed, speed. They see Holmes or Jackson's 4.3 they think they'll be great.

40 times are overrated. I'll take a WR who has actual football skills over a workout warrior.

[KYPack]

I got fooled.

I fell for the "pretty girl with the curls" syndrome TT talks about.

Chad jackson was my guy & I was sorry we didn't snag him.

Jennings starts, I'll take 50 grabs & 700 yds all day long.

He defintely has skills and I love the Mark Clayton analogy.

[MasonCrosby]

i don't think i had any doubts about jennings when he was drafted... his college career resume looked pretty good to me even though he wasn't playing at a big name school...

Re: What production do you expect from GREG JENNINGS?

I think he's more talented than WR Mark Clayton from Baltimore and Clayton actually had a nice rookie season. What do you expect?

I think Jennings will be Super Duper.

[Scott Campbell]

bah reality is the lack of creativity and expression!!!!!!


1500 yards 10 TDs 80 catches Jennings
1800 yards 8 TDs 95 catches Driver

Holy crap. If that happens Brett is looking at his 4th MVP.

[Scott Campbell]

FIVE rookies in the history of the NFL have gotten 1,000 yards receiving--whether they started or not.

I'd be ecstatic if he got 55 receptions for 680 yards.

Somebody has to be the 6th in history - at some point. It might as well be Jennings. A rookie isn't likely to find a better pitcher to chuck it at him than Favre.

And I think the last rook to get 1000 was also a 2nd rounder - Boldin of the Cards.

Every time he starts a new season he is looking at that and a second ring...

Ok, lets analyze it:

Taking McCarthy at his word:

1.Emphasis on rushing this year, which means the Qbs may have only about 300-325 completions.

2. Bringing the TE's back into the offense - 60 to 70 receptions for the three TEs

3. Backs 100 receptions. (Their #s go downsomewhat as the TE's #s go up)

4. Driver 75 receptoins.

5. That leaves only about 75 receptions for the rest of the receivers. Ferguson will get his 25, "others" (Gardner, etc.) will have 10-20.

CONCLUSION - If Jennings has 40-50 receptions he will have had a very good year. More than likely it will be in the 35-40 neighborhood. His numbers go up only if others are injured, taking receptions away from driver, the backs or TEs.

i think that he could do 900 + yards, maybe 60-65 catches

brett already likes the kid, and the guys shown he's not a normal rookie WR. favre will look for him and throw the ball to him a lot. he's favres second option behind driver, and he looks to be a much better 2nd option then what we had last year

hell he could freak out a lot of people and go for that 1000 yard mark

we did not have two good wr's last year like we might this year. however we did have two good ones in 2004 in walker and driver. they had 84 and 80 catches. so it is possible for that second WR to get a lot of catches if he's up to the task

[MacCool606]

I guess I will have to wait to see the running attack before I assume it's going to be the focus. If the Pack can't run, the passing game could be wide open. It will also be interesting to see what mentality MM and Jags has when the Packers are up. Will we slow down the game and get conservative? Or continue to play "Packer Football"?

[SD GB fan]

MM said there will an emphasis on the running game..out if he keeps his word is another issue. ideally u want more running but if we get behind brett will be in for another 500 att season.

[b bulldog]

50-60 receptions for around 700 yards
