2020 Wide Receivers

[red]

I think I might put Jennings over Jordy....but very close.....otherwise I'm right there..........wait...is Cobb really better than Brooks ?

brooks was better then freeman hands down

injuries destroyed his career just like sharpe

i would go

adams
jennings
jordy
brooks
driver
freeman

jordy and brooks are very close imo

remember brooks almost made us completely forget about sterling sharpe. the year after we lost sterling, brooks put up insane numbers. then came the injuries

Assuming Don Hutson and the Lombardi era WRs and Lofton and maybe Jefferson are left out of the equation, Adams is probably #1. I'd put Sharpe, Freeman, Brooks, Nelson, and Driver in pretty much that order ahead of Jennings, and James Jones about equal with him in terms of overall quality.

Antonio Freeman wasn't much of a physical specimen at WR in terms of height or 40 time. Why do you put him so high and Jennings so low?

Sharpe > Adams

There were legit discussions as to who was better at the time, Rice or Sharpe. I could see the argument if you discount Sharpe for having a shortened career.

[Upnorth]

1) Sharpe
2)Adams
3) nelson
4 Brooks
5) Jennings
6) driver
7) Freeman.
I want to put driver higher. And I think his leadership in the wr room is what made arods elite group so diverse and deadly, but based from what we saw on the field I can't.
Man I hope we have to add mvs or lizard as #8 by 2022

so you're just gonna ignore the fact that jennings, nelson, driver and jones all player together for many seasons and that jennings was the clear #1 during that time with the best stats?

[run pMc]

no James Lofton? Really?

[Joemailman]

Give Driver his due. From 2005-2007 he led the Packers in receiving and was over 1200 yards each time. Then Jennings took over as #1 from 2008-2010. From 2002 2009 Driver was over 1000 yards 7 out of 8 years. Jennings years of 2008-2010 were the only years he was over 1000 yards. Jennings may have been more talented than Driver, but overall Driver had the more productive Packer career.

This whole discussion started with Harvey listing his top Packer WR's since Sharpe.

If he quits the drops he is a game changer. How often does a receiver find there hands in year4?

He had them in the playoff game. That was the best version of him. He needed a lot more work than Jennings did coming out. Better? Well, you guys are trying to compare the best version of Jennings to the work in progress MVS. Jennings had only 3 1,000 yard seasons in the NFL and was never dominant. I think MVS may get to Jennings level yet. He also may never have reliable enough hands to crack 1k yards. They might have also reached the point where they are going to bring in a more consistent #2 and his chances are finished.

But this is why I love the internet. The idea that its not even feasible that MVS could have a 10 year career with 8200 yards is just as ridiculous as claiming he is a lock to turn into Jennings. I put it at 30/70 that by the end of next season he is right there with Jennings. I think he had 3 drops worth about 200 yards last year. If he makes hands hands hands the focal point of this offseason he could easily have a 1000 yard season.

Watch the playoff game again. Watch it with an open mind. He looked like the best WR on the field to me. That isn't to suggest he doesn't benefit from Adams pulling coverage, but thats how the game works when building a team. MVS stretches the safety or Adams draws him in. Rodgers decides which way to go with the ball.

Pretty much true here. And we’ve seen guys figure out the drops. Only problem with MVS is sometimes he likes to body catch. Well, that’s the second problem with the first being he hand drops quite a few. But regardless, he progressed for three straight years. He’s in his fourth year now with Rodgers and they’re building chemistry. I think it would be cool to re sign him because A) it should be relatively cheap and B) Rodgers does so much better with long term teammates than new guys. MVS could be Rodgers deep guy for the twilight of his career. He could easily finish as a James Jones level weapon for Rodgers. A long term, productive guy with a couple holes in his game.

[RashanGary]

It Gute gets some fair deals done with MVS, Tonyan and Lazard, while none are super stars (except maybe Tonyan), Rodgers would have a bunch of decent guys he has chemistry with down the final stretch of his career.

[RashanGary]

I could see a long term situation where gute drafts a stud wr this year and then gets Tonyan, Lizard abd MVS for the price of Adams and they move on from Adams. Sadly.

The list of players that looked great for one game is as long as it is disappointing. Sure, he might end up being the best WR to ever play the game. In my opinion, he doesn't get to the top echelon unless he improves hands and route running. If not, he can still be extremely valuable to the offense with his deep threat.
