RapSheet says Nelson Diagnosis is torn ACL

[Packgator]

Other than Rodgers, Jordy was the one (offensive) guy the Packers couldn't afford to lose. Cobb and Adams will have things a lot tougher with Jordy not on field. I believe the Packers now only have 2 WR's on the roster with more than 10 career catches. The Nelson injury has me feeling sick.

Rex Grossman bad or less like Brady bad?

Less like a god, more human. Let's hope it's not Rex Grossman human.

Jordy makes so many great plays on the sideline. Many of those great plays were on 3rd down and resulted in a 1st down. With Jordy out, many of those 1st downs will be punts instead of 1st downs.

My thoughts exactly, plus Jordy plays with grittines and heart which will not be easily replaced.

As far as Jordy's career goes, I think it's over. There is truth to having the league figured him out.

The Pack lost its #1 receiver back in '96 and still ended up winning the SB. Then again, the Pack had a COMPETENT GM back then.

I was at one of my kids games when someone told me of the Jordy injury. My comment was this was actually one of the positions we could afford to lose a player.

You may be right about that, but still a low blow. Maybe they'll consider Reggie Wayne now.

I agree, but only if the player was anyone but Jordy.

Nelson getting injured doesn't magically make you right. Let's see how the younguns do before you declare victory. And by the way, what you think is only your opinion, not necessarily the truth.

Nelson getting hurt for the season is an extreme scenario. But it illustrates what, in my opinion, was a liability going into the offseason.....Depth and versatility. There is no joy in this scenario. I think this essentially kills the season. I would love to be wrong. I just think a solid vet receiver would have been a smart move to soften some of the growing pains of these young guys. I would love to be wrong.

Do they have someone who will replace Nelson and do what Nelson did? Of course not, not this year anyway. It took Nelson a few years to become Nelson, too. But they have guys who will catch a lot of passes anyway. Losing one WR will not bring the offense to a grinding halt. Rodgers will find people to throw the ball to.

There is only one guy who is more or less irreplaceable, and that is Rodgers. I am more worried about Bakhtiari's injury than Nelson's, because of the apparent effect it might have on Rodgers' well-being.

I think I will wait for Adams, Montgomery, Janis, White and Abredarris to fail before I throw in the towel for the season.

Would be nice but Abbrederis is done, man. He can't even make it through an NFL practice without a debilitating concussion...

I suspect Abbrederis is done, too; but until it is official he is still a possible contributor looking forward.

This is a tough blow for sure. It would be a disaster if Rodgers were merely good. But he's great. Great QB's elevate their teammates. I think this sets Adams up for a 1000 yard season. (Unsolicited fantasy tip). And Montgomery is looking like their best rookie WR since Greg Jennings. They'll still be one of the top passing teams in the NFL. Losing Lacy would have been much worse than this.

This all damn day long.

I hope NONE of our starters see the field again until Chicago.
