How Jennings Stacks Up Against His Draft Class WRs...

[Guiness]

132yds for Jackson! I mean, I know he wasn't doing real well, but didn't know he was that bad.

Brandon Jackson is a player...is he #1 on their depth chart now?

Congratulations, Guiness. You found a negative. Personally, I don't find it a negative that TT found a player that out played a 2d round draft choice and made him the starter, instead of massaging his ego by making the 2d round choice his starter. One of the keys to success is being able to recognize a mistake and to correct a mistake, in contrast to a previous GM who decided we needed a backup punter when his fair haired boy couldn't cut it! (Who couldn't find a team once he got cut.}

Jennings is slight of build and has already had a number of different injuries that have kept him out of games. He was not the same player last year after he was injured and then he was hurt twice in training camp and missed two starts at the start of this season. Same for Blackmon. Both player have to show some durability.

I get concerned over any player who has one injury after another. First an ankle, then a knee, then a hip, all of which kept him out of games, then a hamstring (which kept him out of practice but not games). I believe that is Jennings history since the middle of last season.

Jerry Rice 6-2 200. Tim Brown 6-0 195. Jennings 5-11 197. He's fine. He has just been nicked up. The 2006 ankle injury could happen to anyone at anytime. He has taken some bigtime shots this year and come out fine.

I agree. And a hammy can happen to anyone too, regardless of build. I do think Jennings' injury history is a bit concerning, but the injuries really haven't come as a result of his build. We haven't seen him get knocked out of games like we saw happen to Terry Glenn all the time. *knock on wood*

I had no problem passing on Jackson. The history of Florida Gator WRs in the NFL isn't one that you would enjoy reading.

At least it is a quick read.

Easy - slip on my part.

I meant Brandon Marshall, not Jackson. And I was wondering if he was Denver's #1 now.
