Jennings taking shots at AR?

[mraynrand]

Do you know who pays WR's a ton of money? Teams with shitty QB's.

that's a keeper

If Rodgers says something bad about Old Spice, you'll know there's bad blood between them.

I think there's something to Jennings feeling a little put out by GB. I mean, Justin and I talked about GJ having a possible HOF career if his stats kept going where they were. In the last five years, he's had to be a top guy in +20 plays, TD's, yards, Yac and on and on. The problem is that there's Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson and then there's everyone else. With the pack going to WR by committee, GJ is of course going to want to get out because he's a legit #1 and wants top #1 $. No one is going to get that here as long as we have Rodgers. Do you know who pays WR's a ton of money? Teams with shitty QB's.

Borderline HOF??? He was good and consistent but he also had two HOF qb's (well one for sure and one probable) throwing to him. I must have missed that debate, and to me it seems that WR's have a massive uphill battle these days.

We were talking, if the next 5 years of his career kept going the way it looked, he would be in really good position to make a run. He had a great start. He did get injured though, and that sort of fell by the wayside.

I thought he could have lasted a long time with his style of game (being such a great route runner)

Except for the late batch of injuries, his game and the trajectory of his career was close to Marvin Harrison's, yes? Or no?

Football Outsiders had his most similar player to Steve Largent over 2009 and 2010/11. For 2011, he fell to Darrell Jackson. They haven't added 2012 to the mix either because some of this is hidden behind the paywall or they haven't calculated 2012 yet.

There's a lot of HOF WR's who've had HOF QB's throwing to them. I don't believe GJ was made that much better by the guys throwing to him. I still think he's going to produce well in Minnesota.

He had 3 years where he went over a thousand yards, then when we had a ton of WR talent maturing, he dropped under 1k. Then he got hurt. He had 53 touchdowns in 7 seasons. Once again, this was a couple years back when we were talking about him being a possible HOFer and there was no sign that the guy would slow down. What slowed his stats down were guys like Cobb, Nelson and Jones playing so well that they were taking away catches from him. I suppose we'll find out if he's the real deal if he jumps back to the top of the league in yards, TD's and Receptions this year.

Bottom line, the dude is really really good at what he does and he's been that way for a long time. Hell, he could still get to the 11K Yard, 80 TD mark that most HOF WR's hit.

Turns out Mr. Jennings is really a very altruistic guy, and is only looking out for the best interests of the young up and comers. Whaddaguy.

"I'm not a selfish guy. It's not about me. It's more about giving guys an opportunity to do what they need to do," he said. "I had to remove myself from that situation to allow those guys to spread their wings."

It worked out well that he has found a decidedly wingless team.

I saw the video and Jennings did seem to be a little bitter. Stephen A Smith asked him a question about Rodgers and Jennings basically didn't want to talk up Rodgers. Then Stephen A asked him why it seemed like he didn't have a lot of good things to say about Rodgers and Jennings responded "well he did say Jennings who."

[Tony Oday]

Jennings, the next Antonio Freeman?

[Cheesehead Craig]

He left so that others could have a chance? Laughable. He left for a ton of money to the only team that would pay him that amount. Not faulting him for that at all. Just be honest about it Greg and don't feed us that obvious line of bull.
