I guess there are different degrees of ACL tears. We sort of went through this with the Bulaga injury. It's possible Jordy might be back by the end of the season, but that's a long shot, especially with today's tendency to be overly cautious about things - heaven knows, the Packers are among the worst for that. The way he walked off the field gives slim hope, but more than likely, the best case is Nelson comes back undamaged next season.

As for this season: I HOPE the Packers do NOT even remotely consider any over age waste like those mentioned. We do NOT need Jennings, Jones, Wayne, Moss, or anybody else. Of all the positions where we could lose the best player, probably WR is the one where we are hurt the least. The Packers - I absolutely believe - are LOADED at Wide Receiver. Probably the ONLY silver lining to this disgusting turn of events is that we have to cut one less quality WR.

As was said, there are very very few "true #1" receivers who make the QB great. Nelson and Cobb, however, rise to the top level when catching Aaron Rodgers passes. There's no reason not to expect Janis and Adams to do the same (yes, in that order of likelihood). I could see a great future for Pinkard too, and without this injury, we very well might have lost him. Montgomery didn't look very good today, but he should be really good. Myles White looked more decent today than I have seen him, although I doubt we keep him. And then there's the name I didn't see in 4 pages of posts: Jared Abbrederis - at this point, he's still less than 50/50 to be a contributor, but he's not out of the running yet.

Also, we absolutely do NOT need to become a more run-oriented team. That would be just plain stupid. As great as Eddie Lacy is, if he is the MVP, it means he is getting way too many carries and the Packers are hurting themselves.

I do NOT see any reason at this point why the Packers can't still be a super team - the best in the NFL. The much bigger concern than WR is the weakness of the O Line IMO.

Yup... to add to what we had. Now, we have one less similar WR. We need to replace that guy. Crabby runs faster than Davante. Right between Jordy and Davante's 40 time. Great body control and hands. Knows his craft like Jordy does. He can run a bit with it, also. I think he would be a fine replacement considering the circumstances.

I'm sorry you lost your favorite player...that does suck. Hopefully, you can find a new one in his stead. Janis is Jordy 2.0. Hopefully, you can find something you like in him.

I've always like Janis and yeah he's the most likely on the team to get close to fulfilling Jordy's role from an x's and o's standpoint but I don't think he's anywhere near being able to play the way Jordy does. The things that don't make all the highlight reels like reading defenses and making route adjustments, that little push off he gets away with all the time, working his way through traffic, beating jams, blocking downfield, etc... I read earlier that Jordy had more 60+ yard TDs by himself last year than 30 NFL teams. This offense is going to change that's for sure. At this point I'm not down on guys like Adams, Janis, and Montgomery being able to step up but things will probably be different this year. At least they have time to adjust.
