Greg Jennings often put the team on his back. Even with a broken leg.
I can't run no more with that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen
Add Jennings to the list of really good small wide receivers that have hit career walls at about age 30. Bigger receivers seem to fade away over a few years, and a bit later in their careers. Many of the smaller ones fall off cliffs in productivity. Donald Driver and a few others really are unusual.

And it certainly was 'fall off a cliff'. He was a solid #1 in GB, and they tried to keep him but he didn't like the money, then he got hurt. He left, and seems like he did absolutely nothing after that. Was it all Rodgers, injury, age, or a combination of all 3?

Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...
If I recall correctly he did pretty good with his first QB. I would consider that it was having a good QB but the system he played in likely had a lot to do with it too.
Caught a little of a Dolphin game last season. GJ lost a bunch of speed in his time away from GB. I imagine he was dinged, but damn, he had lost all his quicks and pep.
Really good player for the Packers, turned down a contract from them that turned out to be a good move for GB, and had rotten QBs elsewhere. The looks he had after errant Ponder, et al., throws were classics.
He was pretty amazing for a while, and clutch in the 2010 playoffs.
I wish him well in retirement and congratulate him on a good career.
