First, I want to say the wording of this topic ticks me off. I know its not the intent, but it can easily be flipped into a bitchfest. It's not thus far so I digress.

Did I think Driver would be gone? No, personally, that's an absurd opinion that he would be. We do not have ample depth EQUAL or greater than his to satisfy that move. I believe Jones will be our 2 for the future, future. Not now. He needs to prove he's over his past injury and can play at a high level consistently. Jordy Nelson had a nice rookie year, but not great and needs improvement.

Driver is proven and solid. When it's 3rd down and 3 or less, who do you throw it to? Driver who had 4. He moves the chains. Jennings is more of a deep threat. It's a great duo and with Finley coming on strong in the TC it will open the door more for Driver. Jennings is a stat monster, Driver is a steady as she goes guy who you can always rely on being assignment sure.

There is no benefit to moving Driver off the team and our GM would NOT do something of that nature. I based that comment on past moves by our GM.

I did not or do not expect Driver to be gone any time soon. It think it would be nice to see Driver as the 3rd or 4th in production this year. Only because that would mean that Jones and Nelson really stepped up, and would be sitting close to 4 1000 yd receivers.

Driver is and will be a solid WR more than likely close to 1000 again. All I see is that the Jones and Nelson will be catching up more than Driver will be dropping down, which is all good for the team.

Speaking of Driver... here is a prime example of what he means to the team.. last night instead of just watching the youngsters learn how to block the gunners.. DD jumped in and put on a demonstration..

Pics and some first hand accounts of his leadership.. good stuff.

that is something you cannot buy - it's ingrained in him to be that kind of person & player. no way do we let this guy go.

Agreed, it's a venture in homerism. I played devils advocate, but I don't even want DD gone. There's no way Arizona was ever parting with Boldin.

Driver looks as in good as shape as he has ever been in. I don't think Driver will be going anywhere. Jennings and Driver will remain # 1 and #2. I think they will both have 1000-1200 yds again and if anything Driver will surpass his numbers from last year. Our WR's grouping is one of the best in the NFL. QB is good, Grant is good at RB and he is healthy again though he might have something to prove but 1200 yds and being injured last yr so that seems good to me(just my opinion), my main concern is the offensive and defensive line. We had a top 5 offense in pts last year(though the defense did score 6 td's or so), number 8 in yards per game but our O-line needs to improve drastically. On defense we were ranked 26th in rush defense, and 12th against the pass. 20th overall which is no good so lets hope some new players and the 3-4 help us out there. So that brings me back to why would we think Driver would be gone when he is a proven and consistent player when we should really be worried about other things?
and last but not least
GO PACK GO!!!
GO PACK GO!!!!
