When was the last time a Rookie WR was our #3 guy? He is being asked a lot of because Boykin has regressed and our TEs are below average as receivers.

Rodgers likes to fill them up with air and even go a bit over the limit of how much air to allow to put into them.

I wonder if that makes it hard for WRs to catch it. Packers have drafted a number of WRs where when you look at their college careers, they caught everything that came near them. Jones and Adams come to mind most... and then in the NFL they suddenly start to struggle to catch it? I think it's part of Rodgers throwing it hard than their college QB, but I also wonder if it might be because the ball is packed with air and so has less cushion when they try to catch it like the normally had.

First let me say that I am happy with the win today. Great job by the D, rushing attack and in the air. But . . .

Remember now...

~ Jordy Nelson went through a streak of a lot of drops (and dropped a number of passes in the Super Bowl, some have said he might of been Super Bowl MVP broke some Super Bowl receiving records if it wasn't for all his drops).

~ James Jones went through a long streak of drops where fans really got after him, and some didn't forgive him until he had the year leading the NFL in TDs.

~ Finley went trough an off and on streak of drops for a long while there.

~ Cobb had a short streak of drops.

Just wondering, couldn't be completely wrong about that.




That or the other options are worse. I mean really who's next? The TEs?

Then you also have to get used to how the ball comes out and how fast it and hard it gets to you. That can require an adjustment.
