Best Packer players since 1990??

[Bretsky]

There have been a LOT of good WRs made that way by Favre and Rodgers. I liked Robert Brooks and maybe Antonio Freeman as good or better than Sharpe. Davante Adams may just be better than any of those WRs.

COME ON MAN !!

Sterling Sharpe may have been the greatest WR of all time had he stayed healthy. He's in a different ballpark than Freeman or Brooks. Davante Adams may be in the same ballpark, but Sharpe's talent was still at a different level of Adams.

But he didn't. I was looking for Tim Lewis to be an all time great Corner too, but he messed up his neck. Ditto that for Nick Collins at Safety. Are we talking about what somebody did? Or what they might have done?

Clifton wasn't stiff and wasn’t as poor of a run blocker as some of you guys are making him out to be. He was highly athletic. Tauscher was the stiff one.

At 334 pounds the dude ran a 5.05 40, 7.58 3 cone, and 30.5” vertical.

Tausch was 318, 5.37 40, 7.91 3 cone, 27” vertical. He was the stiff one.

Bakh was 299, 5.18 40, 7.7 3 cone, 25.5” vertical—but does appear much more athletic than that.

Cliffy was a badass tough motherfucker. Memory loss for some of you dudes. Those lines Green ran behind were amazing.

It was more about effort. He rarely made any kind of effort to do more than shield a guy off. Absolutely never locked onto a guy and drove him anywhere. He probably could have been better, he just was happy being the guy who could mirror the great edge rushers, or anchor vs. the great bull rushers. He was a wall.

good points; I didn't read that right. I thought you were saying those WR's were better than Sharpe

[texaspackerbacker]

I was hahahahaha - or at least just as good. Actually, what I said was that I liked them better, especially the breakaway speed.

Brooks and Freeman better than Sharpe? Sharpe was certainly faster than Freeman and Adams.

Sterling Sharpe was Adams but with deep speed. He is the best WR that ever played for the Packers.

Sharpe vs Hall of Famer Rod Woodson

[texaspackerbacker]

I'm not gonna say any thing against Sharpe. He was a great possession receiver and a good deep threat too. I'm just saying, I liked Brooks and Freeman better. That and I don't think any of them were as good all around as Adams. And when we're talking about best player, that ought to reflect the whole career, or accomplishment up to now in the case of a current guy. If Davante's career ended right now, he would have accomplished more than any of those guys. If Sharpe had played for another 8 or 10 years at a high level, he might have been on a par with Jerry Rice - but he didn't.

[Joemailman]

I guess it depends on how you define best player. Is it based on who was the best player during the years they played, or is it based on who had the best overall career? If it's based on the former, then Sharpe was better than any Packer WR who has come since. For a number of years, Sharpe was the 2nd best WR in the NFL. And the only reason he wasn't #1 was because he played at the same time as Jerry Rice.

Saying Clifton wasn't the best tackle in the league isn't selling him short. Get real. He was a fine player, but in the B-tier of NFL starters.

B-tier of NFL starters? He had his weaknesses in run blocking, but he was as good a pass blocker as their was in the NFL.
