Myles White had a huge game on ST for the Giants.

Myles White had a huge game on ST for the Giants.

In what way? I didn't see the game.

[Guiness]

In what way? I didn't see the game.

Fumbled punt recovery is what I saw. Good hands fielded a bouncing ball cleanly.

[Patler]

just to close out the final stats:

Charles Johnson - 11 games, 4 starts, 9 receptions, 127 yards, 0 TDs
Greg Jennings - 16 games, 5 starts, 19 receptions, 208 yards, 1 TD

[Guiness]

What happened with Charles Johnson? Was he injured or was he just not all that? Did the attitude problems that were rumored cause a problem?

[Pugger]

Greg Jennings was never a JAG, even when he was in Minnesota. Check out his stats. 68 and 59 receptions for 804 and 742 yards with who passing to him, Ponder? Jennings was a star receiver in college with a nobody throwing him passes.

Same with Jones. 73 catches for 666 yards with Oakland.

Jordy would be a star receiver on almost any team and Cobb is probably the best slot receiver in the NFL.

All of these guys are great receivers in the clutch as well. They are all in the top tier of NFL talent. We shouldn't sell them short.

Plus, they all are great route runners, are fast and have great hands, tailor made for Green Bay's offense. Besides Arod's talent, that's why they excell here.

Yes, Jordy is a top 10 WR in the league and Cobb is a great slot WR but slots need a #1 WR on the other side to really thrive.

Exactly. And a great slot WR's talents do not necessarily translate to becoming a #1 WR. It's the major miscalculation IMO that the Packer brass made when Jordy went down. At the time I made the post I probably overestimated Cobb's speed, maybe Jones' too. Seeing them in man defense every week they don't outrun defenders very often anymore. Of course, I wasn't talking about Adams, but he rarely outruns defenders as well. Hence, the problems with our passing game, the second half of this year compared to last.

Separation? Jonesy don't need no stinkin separation.

It's all A-rod to an extent. I don't see the point I guess in drafting guys who develop into great players if you then don't sign any of them back.

and there isn't much pie remaining.

Draft and develop? Does that really work now in the NFL overall?

Does that in TRUTH and Theory work in Green Bay?

Unless basically every NFL Organization has the Packers and Ravens and Saints blueprint to structure a winning team; that's heavy loaded with a large percentage of CAP Money going to the QB.

If your successful in developing a draft pick into a decent player. Doesn't he want to be paid TOP DOLLAR!?

[run pMc]

If you have a QB who is at least decent or better, you want to hang onto them...unless you have someone better waiting in the wings.
Drafting/developing/keeping a player is dependent upon the position, the depth, and the amount of money. No way was GB keeping Davon House for what he got paid.

Johnson did get hurt earlier this year but was also surpassed. His production might have been down regardless of health with their new guy.
