Whoa, a WR who specializes in offensive line play? BONUS!![rockon]

How many times are you going to throw his production out there? Yes, at FRESNO freaking STATE. In a goofy trick passing offense. His running mate, Burse, had 100 receptions this season and wasn't drafted. Marqise Lee put up 112 receptions at USC 2 years ago. Cooks put up incredible numbers at Oregon State. Jordan Matthews put up over 100 receptions in the SEC. That is what I respect...REAL production.

What you're doing is the equivalent of bragging 4 weeks into the college football season that the Badgers are going to win the national championship because they beat 4 tomato cans to start the season in dominating fashion. Who cares? Davante cupcaked his way to his numbers just like the Badgers do with opening season wins. That box that showed level of success vs. top CB's was encouraging and is about the only encouraging thing outside of his impressive vertical jump that stands out about him. Oh, and his hands which are pretty important.

You can look throughout NFL history at guys who had huge production in college who were absolute failures in the NFL and the exact opposite...guys with little production that were outstanding. Davante sounds like he'll be a middle of the road guy for us. Was hoping for a guy who sounded like he'd be an actual difference maker.

Matthews at Vandy, in the SEC faced the likes of:
Austin Peay
UAB
U Mass
Kentucky
A very bad Florida
Wake Forest
Houston

Wow. OK.

Not at all... I have high hopes for Abbrederis, Janis, Hubbard, LaDarius Perkins, Joe Thomas, etc... I think hearing Davante Adams will be better than Sterling Sharpe threw a switch in me. I would love for Davante Adams to be a special player for us. Again, I'm just disappointed he is the guy we took in Round 2, when I was hopeful for a couple of other guys we could've had.

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."

All kidding aside, how will we be able to really compare the Sharpe thing? He instantly became the #1 WR as a rookie with a lineup of Robert Brooks, Anthony Morgan, Ron Lewis, Ed West and Mark Chmura as targets for Favre. Finished the season with 94 receptions for 1119 yds and 18 TDs.

Davante Adams will have a tough time cracking those numbers with Nelson, Cobb, and Boykin in front of him to start the season...

Is it even possible Adams could get those targets to haul down 94 passes? 18 TDs? Greg Jennings hauled in 45 for 632 and 3 in his rookie season. Jordy Nelson grabbed 33 for 366 and 2 in his rookie year.

I really wonder how this is going to shake out. It should be VERY interesting to see. If Adams has a solid TC, I could see him jumping into our #2 or #3 WR role. Maybe he becomes the hot hand. Should something like that happen, which I think would be extraordinary, then I would put money down on him having a shot, a real shot at Sterling's rookie numbers. So much would have to go right for him though... as Sharpe's rookie numbers are insanely good.

There is no need to compare Adams to Sharpe, but it is kind of fun to think about. The only way he could have a chance at those kinds of numbers is for him to become a starter and develop an uncanny, spectacular relationship with Aaron Rodgers as a go-to guy.

Have to figure too that concepts Mike Holmgren brought to us in GB at the time (1994) were somewhat revolutionary in the NFC's Black & Blue. Offenses and defenses alike have become far more sophisticated since.

Adams will not go higher than number 3 this season, barring injuries of course.

Pretty impressive route at practice by Davante to school Hayward. Though that's also impressive of Casey to recover like that after getting his ankles broken. He was still in position to make a tackle.
