Sterling Sharpe and Javon Walker were the only legitimate #1 receivers we've had under Favre and Rodgers. Everybody else was a #2 receiver with inflated stats. One of my biggest complaints about our Wolf and Ted Thompson is that they didn't go get that #1 receiver for their elite quarterbacks. At least Sherman moved up in the draft to get Walker.

#1 receivers are guys like Megatron, Dez Bryant, or Larry Fitzgerald. I'm not taking away anything from the accomplishments of guys like Driver, Jorde, or Jennings - they are just not in the same league as the aforementioned.

I'll respectfully disagree. Just because a WR isn't a consensus top 10 player at his position doesn't mean he can't be a "number 1". It is kind of an abstract designation anyway. Every team has a number 1 receiver. It is just a question how dominant they are.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Of course they're not #1's. I remember when Billy Schroeder got a huge contract from the Lions, and I laughed my ass off. He should have given Favre about 80% of that money.

Jordy and Cobb are very good players, but put them on a team with an average quarterback and they wouldn't sniff 600 yards.

Does anyone realistically believe that Jordy isn't done for the year? Curious who thinks it's really possible.

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity
Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
