Wait, Jordy Nelson is not a WR1?· Page 9

That's because Jordy Nelson is absolutely a "#1 WR." He may not be truly elite, but he is undoubtedly a #1 WR in the NFL. Or at least he was being getting injured.

I think he would either way but if you look at Rodgers #s this year w/o Jordy I don't know how you can still undervalue his worth to the team.

Last season we had Cobb and Nelson to create the headaches for opposing defenses. If you double covered one, the other was in single coverage - which was routinely exploited.. This season the depth behind Cobb is a rather big drop off, so you would expect the staff to get favorable match ups in a different way - we have yet to see that.

As things stand now - all they have to do is stick with our WRs for a few seconds, our passing plays often take too long to develop. Without having a quick outlet that can catch reliably, it limits where you can go with the ball. I really don't think opposing defenses spend much time worrying about our TE, he doesn't block that well and has had butter fingers lately.

With Nelson out the Packers couldn't afford any more key receivers going down. So the loss of Adams for a few games and Quarless for even longer didn't go w/o notice. Throw in the fact that Janis hasn't become the Jordy clone we hoped he would turn into (atleast not yet), and it is what it is.

I still have plenty of faith Nelson, Cobb, Adams, and Montgomery will be one of the top receiving units in the NFL next year.

In the meantime, I'd like to see them get Davante deep and have some success on the ground.
