Greg Jennings hasn't stood out at all

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think the emergence of Jones has a lot to do with Jennings not getting his props. Jones became a favorite target of Favre during pre-season. Jennings will get his because teams will cover Jones.

Actually, I think the converse is true. Jones will get his because defenses will focus on Driver (the most) and Jennings.

I think Jennings draws the coverage after DD, if for no other reason than because of #420 and #421, two very highly replayed and publicized catches. Jones has the catches to his credit, but not the pub for them.

Without Favre, Jennings still wouldn't be doing much. Favre's talent is making him look great...threading passes and audibling when the defense shows a weakness. Jennings isn't running around the secondary wide open all the time. None of our WRs get great separation...but Favre remains good enough to overcome that. With a lesser QB, our offense would struggle a lot. Someday, Favre will leave...and will will recognize just how great an impact he holds over this offense.

The good thing about Jennings is that he has a good head on his shoulders and learns. If he is in the right place 99% of the time, then Favre will make him look like a world-beater...just as he made non-elite talents like Freeman or Schroeder look good when they were on the same page as Favre. He's a team player...and that is precisely what is needed right now.

Jennings is a very smart player. He runs great routes and makes excellent cuts. He reads the defenses very well and makes the proper route adjustments. He catches the ball very well, and he has exceptional YAC capabilities.

How does Favre get credit for that?

If it was all Favre then Ferguson, Chatman and Taco Wallace would have put up Jennings/ Jones numbers.

And to put it in perspective, Jones, like Jennings last year, is on pace to do more as a rookie than Ferguson ever did in a season.

These guys have talent. They're smart, they run good routes, they catch the ball well and most of all, they're starting to get that chemistry with their QB, so that they know what they're supposed to do when the D is showing certain looks.

I'd like to point out what I wrote a couple of weeks ago:

"I've been to many practices over the past couple of years and trust me, the writers don't post about 80% of the positive things players do. Jennings is making catches in practice. It is easier for writers to pick out the negatives or the AMAZING plays and not the routine 10-15 yard catches. Jennings is a player, don't worry."

Damn, I'm good!

Sometimes it helps to think before you post. But then we all have a little Bears clown in us where we shoot off our mouth before our brain has a chance to catch up.

Actually, Bears clowns don't have brains, so we don't have a little Bears clown in us. I feel better now.

Driver, Jennings, Jones and the TE's actually stepping up. That can't all be covered. Add in a few passes to the RB's. Why run at all?

It is great to not see that drive killing loser, Ferguson out there screwing it all up.

I really underestumated GJ's talent level and the impact he'd have on the offense this past summer. Once again, I am glad that I was wrong.

[RashanGary]

It's good to see him get healthy enough to play. I think he can be even better once his hammy is completley healed.

I was getting a little worried about injuries and Brett ignoring him. Those worries are quickly subsiding. Teams now have two legit threats to worry about on our offense and a 3rd that is very reliable.

I can't see how anyone can complain about ANY of the receivers on this team this year. Our passing game and defense has us 4-0. I can hardly remember any dropped balls by any of the wideouts. Bubba has a couple tough ones. But, all the receivers are doing everything asked of them and are the reason we are leading the NFC North. I think some here are forgetting how many drops and bad routes we had last year, most of that is cleared up, which is why we are winning. You do remember Jennings caught 420 and 421, right? Give the guy a break. The backers and safeties are playing all our receivers tight because we can't run, it's amazing their getting ANY seperation.

Jennings is a stud. Don't count him out being the go-to-guy by the end of the year. This cat looks like he has very good #1 potential and I don't think we'll miss at beat at the flanker when DD hangs up his cleats.
