In all fairness to Donald Driver, I don't think any of the receivers cut in the preseason would have had significantly higher production than he has had thus far. Heck, Rodgers hit 12 different receivers this week alone. But that was basically my point all along. Since it was likely that Driver would slide steadily down the real depth chart (albeit not the official one), why not give one of our other young guys a chance? The rookie would be significantly cheaper, and retaining him would prevent his being signed by another team. As Randall Cobb proved, a rookie can step in and contribute his first day. A Gurley or West might not have lit the world on fire, but it's doubtful his production would have been significantly lower than Driver's either.

Overall, the production of our receivers individually is probably going to decline this year, simply because there are so many people to throw to. I think that's a good thing. I would rather have eight receivers with 500 yards than one receiver with 1800 yards and seven others with 300 yards apiece.

The Packer's hand may be forced next year. We have some important players to sign so we can use the money DD is making to help with that cause. I like DD but I think it is getting "time".

I felt the slip was due to injury not age and that he would bounce back and put up numbers similar to what Jordy has done this year. West & Co most likely would not have done that this year. Unfortunately it does not appear that he will. But it is only week 5. JJ had a breakout game this past week. there is still hope for Donald to have his big game too.

Nice addition, wpr. Just a hint: if you enclose your tables in one of the tags accessible with the UserPostedImage button, you don't have to use dots to maintain the columns, because it uses a fixed-width font. You can just type up your tables in a plain text editor (like Notepad), using the spacebar to line things up, and then paste it into your post.

Maybe one of the other formats will do it but the first one or two wouldn't let me bold any of the lines. Something for me to work on in the future.

Most rookie WRs suck, even WRs who go on to be pretty damn good WRs. WRs take longer to develop than other positions. Can you think of any NFL team that has a starting rookie WR by choice (I mean,not due to injury)?

Atlanta has a starting rookie WR by choice, but yeah, I agree with your point. Generally top 15 WR's start, but other than that, not so much.

I thought it was obvious from my post that I wasn't anticipating a Gurley or West would be a starter. Fifth on the depth chart was my expectation. 😝

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.
