This person is only a Super Bowl MVP and two time NFL MVP, but what do his eyes tell him about Jordy Nelson?
Let us read, shall we? 😁

That said I do think that Rodgers probably believes Jordy can play as well as anyone and his stats, oooohhh there's that dirty word, do sort of bear that out.
let me ask you guys who are so down on stats a question. When is all said and done, which player would you rather have on your team the guy who consistently catches 100+ passes for 1200+ yards and 12+ TDs or the guy who is bigger, faster and more athletic but can't get over 10 catches for 100 yards and and TD.
Face it The only reason you think the bigger, faster more athletic guys are better is because in addition to being bigger, faster and more athletic they also put up the stats. A guy can be the biggest, fastest most athletic player the game has ever seen but if he can't put up the stats in a few years people are going to be saying "remember that guy? whatever happened to him."
What guys like Johnson, Bryant and Fitzgerald COULD do with a QB like Rodgers is pure speculation and quite frankly irrelevant. What is relevant is what a player like Nelson CAN and DID do with Rodgers. We are talking about top 5-10 wrs in the league, not comparing a top 5 with a top 50 guy. You guys act as if though one of those three (or maybe even some others depending on your opinions) could come in and catch 150 passes for 2000 yards and 25 TDs like it was nothing. Well, they might be able to if the Packers wanted it to happen, but you know what, Nelson might be able to as well if her Packers wanted it to happen.
Oh, and here is another stat for you to be disgusted with. Jordy Nelson, 1 player, 7 seasons 1 SB ring. Calvin Johnson, Dez Bryant, Larry Fitzgerald 3 players 25 seasons no SB rings. Maybe being the most talented biggest fastest most athletic player is NOT the most important.
