Hard to believe

He has size and good hands. He has little quickness. In fact, he's well below average in quickness. That's why he's not starting. That's why not many teams wanted him. He provides a dimension the team lacks. He's also smart and assignment sure. He's a nice guy to have as a backup and he's an asset in the redzone.

You don't have to run the 40 in 4.3 seconds to be successful in this league. His size and tenacity could make him a great receiver. With Brett's accuracy, he could throw it high, and Ruvell doesn't have to be open to make the catch. That's why he could be a great threat. He has excellent hands, and isn't afraid to fight for the ball. 4th or 5th at best? Do you really think he's that slow?

Yeah...our top 3 are nice receivers, but none of them are dominant forces in the redzone. That is where Martin and Robinson could become very valuable late in the year and into the postseason.

Martin doesn't have the speed to be an effective starting receiver. I think he has the potential to be a #3 for a lot of teams though. I doubt he can get past Driver, Jennings or Jones in Grene Bay though.

Brett needs to throw more to Ruvell though, I think he could be one of the best WR's in the league, and could be our #1 receiver.

Man, you had me until here. Ruvell is a great #4/#5 receiver, but this is a tad much.

Hmm. I don't know why you don't see his potential. He has the size and quickness, and he has huge hands that are very good. He could be the deep threat at any given time, we just don't give him the opportunity. Do you remember how great he was last year in final game against Chicago, when he and Holiday were the starters? He really showed me a lot in that game, and the little turnaround catch for the TD in the endzone against Detroit showed his athletic ability. Favre could make him a star, IMO.

You're the same guy that was arguing last week that Jackson's a better, tougher RB than Grant, aren't you?

The passing game really accelerated once Robinson returned. He immediately passed R Martin on the depth chart. R Martin was the #2 late last season and got little separation against #2 corners. This year as a #5 receiver, he's dominant. That's right, dominant. He's a 3-4 receiver on most teams, but on the Packers, he's #5, which makes him a great asset - because he can beat the coverage put on a #5 receiver. But be real - On the depth chart he dropped below a guy who had been out of football for a year and he was already behind a rookie. He's not starting material. Period.

The race isn't always to the strong and to the swift, but that is the way to bet.

Martin is slow. There is a reason he went to Saginaw for college. There is a reason he wasn't drafted and was a free agent twice over.

Jennings runs in the low 4.4s and isn't considered to be a blazer like other small wide receivers..that was one of the knocks on him coming outta college.

The last time Ruvell was clocked on Fieldturf for the 40 it as 4.58. That is SLOW. Slower than most running backs.

Ruvell is what he is. A nice 4th or 5th string guy. If you wanna root for the underdog I applaud you. But, ruvell isn't starting material on a decent to good team.

If you want him to start then you prolly want Chatman back as well.

Why can't Brett win with Chatman and Andre Thurman? Those guys are just as good as Harrison and Wayne!!!!!!
