Jennings reminds you of the most at this stage of his career?
I'm drawing a blank.

Re: Which current or former NFL WR would you say....
John Jefferson, before he came to Green Bay. He never performed for the Packers like he did at San Diego.Originally posted by BlueBrewer -
I think James Jones will be more like John Jefferson. Jennings? Not sure. That is a tough one. He's a big play guy, but he's not a big guy. Who would that be?"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Jones is more physical than Jefferson ever was. Jefferson caught short passes, made guys miss and found the endzone for San Diego, a lot like Jennings does now. Jefferson was a TD machine in San Diego.Comment

Strange. I always had the impression that Jefferson was pretty physical. But that is just my impression.
Jennings, in terms of stature, (JUST STATURE OKAY) could perhaps be compared to Don Hutson, also a guy fairly slight of build, even for his day, I think."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Jennings is hard to quantify.
He's not a true deep threat with blazing speed. He's certainly not a physical WR. He's not a receiver who relies on his height to gain an advantage.
In many respects, I would compare Jennings to Jerry Rice...another guy with few elite physical measurements but a lot of very good measurements, and who combined a great sense of spacial knowledge on the field along with elusiveness to amass huge amounts of YAC. Rice clearly was a better natural receiver (better hands, slightly larger size) while Jennings is more athletic and elusive in the open field.
Jennings on that slant in the SD game reminded me a lot of Rice.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment

Harrison has (or had) elite speed in the prime of his career.Originally posted by BlueBrewer
Jennings is plenty fast enough, but he's not in Harrison's class in terms of speed...nor is Harrison in Jennings' class in elusiveness. How many times have you seen Harrison fake a guy out of his jock during his HOF career? I would think it is fewer times than I've seen Jennings do it in less than 2 years.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment

I dont know about that. Jennings has been making toast all year long. I dont recall him getting caught once.Comment

How many times has Harrison been 8 yards behind everyone catching a 60 yard TD bomb from Manning?Originally posted by MadtownPacker
Please enlighten me on the occasions that has been true of Jennings this year. Sure, Jennings has plenty of speed. However, he uses spacing and angles properly, which is what maximizes his speed to his advantage.
Harrison doesn't need angles. He just flat blew past guys...even when they knew what was coming. I'm not saying Jennings isn't fast. I'm just saying Jennings doesn't have ELITE speed...which is precisely the reason why Harrison is a HOF WR.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment

Jennings is off to a pretty damn good start. Dont make me go all Patler on your ass and look it up because Jennings might be off to better career start then Harrison.Originally posted by The LeaperComment

WTF?Originally posted by MadtownPacker
Can't some of you guys recognize the fact that Harrison has ELITE speed and Jennings doesn't? BTW...good luck on that Harrison/Jennings comparison. I'm sure their TD totals will be roughly equal, but Harrison will have far more catches and yards than Jennings to this point in their career.
I'm not saying Jennings sucks because he doesn't have elite speed. I compared him to JERRY FUCKING RICE for pete's sake.
Stop getting your underwear in a wad whenever someone claims that a Packer shits something less than 99.99% pure gold.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment
