I think being number 1 WR on the Packers is as important as being the number 1 RB. The Packers offense is about matchups and exploiting them.

The Packers actually got better without Sharpe because Favre quit leaning on him so much and started spreading the ball around.

Even with the receivers around him that Jennings has, in '10 he had numbers that rivaled Johnson. If the Lions had more receivers, Calvin would get fewer opportunities, not more.

I would rather have 3 receivers with over 80 catches than have one with 120 and all the rest under 40.

Having a surrounding cast makes a receiver have to compete for more opportunities. It doesn't make it easier to lead the league in catches. Having nobody around him does that.

Megatron would catch fewer balls if he played for the Packers.

I do agree with Dakota. We have become spoiled. If you look at what we had in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and heck, even up until 2007, they pale in comparison. Our SB winning WRs in 1996 can't hold a candle to what we have now.
