There's no way a WR gets QB-type money. I want Jennings to get rewarded for his great play, but it won't be to the tune of Rodgers' deal.

Well, if you consider how much much much better of a receiver Jennings is than Berrian and Berrian got 6 years 42 million, 16 mil bonus @ 7 mil per season. How could Jennings not demand at least 6 years 60 million and 20+ bonus?

I love Jennings but i'd rather have Jordy in the starting lineup with DD, James Jones, Ruvell Martin & a new rookie and Albert Haynesworth. I dont really know. I love Jennings a lot. But ask yourself this. Is he a go to receiver like Andre Johnson, Terell Owens, Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison(past), Anquan Boldin, Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson, Steve Smith, Brandon Marshall. Even Donald Driver, i'm not so sure i'd rather have Jennings over Driver. Those guys can take over a game with their unusual ability to create separation and make big plays after the catch with their physical ability. Harrison had Peyton Manning and Steve Smith has Michael Jordan jumping ability. Other than that, all or almost everyone on that list is like 6'2 - 6'4 inches tall. Just me but i'm not giving a blank check to a 5'10 - 5'11 receiver.

Are you kidding, Marvin Harrison is 6'0" which is little advantage over Jennings at 5'11" and Steve Smith is only 5'9". Harrison may have Manning but he certainly is a great receiver on his own and he's made Manning's job immensely easier. Steve Smith's vertical at the combine was 38.5 inches and Jennings was 36.5 which would put them at the same height in the air except I bet Jennings arms are longer as he's taller. Also, Boldin is only 6'1" so he's not much taller than Jennings either. It doesn't matter how tall they are if they make plays and Jennings makes plays, period. Letting Jennings go would be a major blunder.

Steve Smith is actually 5'8".

Jerry Rice is the same height as Donald Driver and Marvin Harrison.

Lee Evans is Jennings' height.

Sometimes people get so hung up on the measurables.. like a tape measure determines whether a man can play the game or not.. a silly trap to get yourself in.

Some of the record holders in this sport didn't measure up on the tape measure.. they just showed up on Sunday's.

Don't fall prey to the myth that the answers lie in a stop watch or measuring tape.

His NFL.com profile says 5'9" but those are often giving the players an inch or two. Anyways, the point is he dominates despite being so small and that his vertical doesn't really put him any higher up than Jennings. Another measure was Rice's 40 time which I believe was high 4.6 or maybe even 4.7. It was slow but he still blew past everyone on the field. Pack93z you nailed. Measurables don't matter if they show up on Sunday.
