WHO DEVELOPS INTO the NUMBER ONE WIDE RECEIVER in GB ?

[Bretsky]

i honestly have no clue, i'd say doubs is in the running too

I'm confused by the definition of #1 WR.

If it's the guy most likely to catch more passes, then it's gotta be Reed for me. He gets open and makes plays with the ball.

If it's a guy you throw when not necessarily open, that's not Reed. I'd go with Wicks or Watson.

I struggled with the exact definition as well. I had started to define it, but instead decided to leave it out to spur on more debate.

ROUGH stats I was going to throw out where perhaps, a 90-100 catch season/ 14-1500 yards

FYI

Wilde thinks it's Wicks

Taucher started the answer with Reed, and then flipped his choice to Watson

I really like Reed. Wicks too though. And Watson. It’s a toss up. I think Reed is the most sure bet.

1400-1500 is too high a bar. Only 5 guys in the entire NFL had 1400+. I think 1200 would be more like it.

1200 and 10 touchdowns is definitely a #1

[RashanGary]

Davante is a borderline HOFer and he’s only gone over 1200 and 10 4 times in 10 years.

Does this sound right?

Reed is most likely to get lots of touches and make plays after the catch.

Wicks is more likey to be they guy to fight for the 50-50 ball.

Watson is more likely to beat everyone deep and go up and get a short TD pass jump ball.

Pick which one is your #1, but you want them all on the field.

[George Cumby]

This a ridiculous poll. It’s obvious it’s going to be a rookie WR from next year. The one the Rodgers pick is used on.

Hahahahahahaha.

because we are so deep at WR, do we trade one or 2 away, and when? (probably not this offseason)

Probably, if they all go the way they’re going. 2nd round pick is better than a 3rd compensatory.

[smuggler]

Could be a 1A, 1B between Reed and Wicks. I lean more toward Wicks, because he's been better against man coverage, but they've both been good and things like that can change a lot year-to-year.

As usual the national media is only about 3 months behind packerrats for good ideas. I guess that's why I spend more time here than packer "news" sites.

FYI what I love about the debate is that it has so many angles. Personally I think Wicks could be DAdams 2.0. He does everything Adams does. He's just a tad bigger than most WR. Plenty fast. Runs great routes. What can't he do? Doubs is sort of a poor mans Wicks in my book. He is the "least likely to fail, least likely to be the alpha" kinda guy. Reed will have a 100 catch season at some point in his career. Prototypical slot guy. Watson is simply so talented that rules don't apply to him. I've never seen a guy beat angles like he does. He's less polished than the others but it doesn't even matter. Maybe a Randy Moss comparison, but without the ball skills. Moss is the best I ever saw (when he wanted to be). I would say that 3 of these guys make one or more pro bowls at some point and Doubs will carve out a really nice little Donald Driver type career where he is never quite the man, but always doing the job.

I think you may be forgetting how good Driver was. He had 6 consecutive 1000+ yard seasons. I see Doubs as more of a James Jones-level receiver, which is great if he's your 4th most talented WR. I agree that Wicks has the potential to be a lot like what Adams was. I thought Reed would be a Cobb-type guy but he's more explosive than Cobb. He probably has as much in common with Jennings as he does with Cobb. When Watson was drafted, I thought he had the most potential to be a Randy Moss-type talent out of all the WR's in that great class. Still does if he's past the hamstring problems. It willbe interesting to see how long the Packers, with current WR salaries, can keep the group together. They had Driver, Jennings, Jordy and Jones together for 5 seasons (2008-2012).
