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.

So, is Randall Cobb a #1 seeing his numbers were right there with Jordy's or are they both just #2's living off the best QB of all time?

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.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
