So, I was lying down on Sunday, thinking about our skill position productivity when I had a chilling flashback to Sterling Sharpe's career ending injury (probably came about when Jennings took that big hit in the Arizona game) - and it got's me to thinking - can Jennings' further develop into our undisputed star of stars reciever?

Now, anyone who watched football from the very late eighties to the mid-90's knows that Sterling Sharpe was hall-of-fame bound, a perennial pro-bowler and a beautiful target for a young Miss. Gunslinger, before that injury.

I think all the tools are in place for Jennings to be one of our most productive recievers of all time, great speed, hands and best of all, a smart head - coupled with the fact that we have a deep recieving corps (Now including Jermichael Finley, who I maintain will be one of the best tight-ends in the league in a few years) - it also means that there are others who can shoulder the work.

So, the question asked :-

Do you think Greg "God" Jennings can match/surpass Sterling Sharpe's legacy?

I think so.

Wow, that is tough. Even a mere 15 years ago, was a long time in Football years. Sterling was arguably the best WR of his time. Big, strong, very good at shielding the ball from the defender. Better than Irvin, Carter, Moore or anyone at that time.

I don't want to put a limit on Jennings potential. I would love for him to have a career that out does Sterling, would be great for the team. As for all time, he needs to work to beat Driver, Lofton and Don (always the greatest).
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

nope for the reasons you stated, we have more than just Jennings so he won't catch a 100 balls a year.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be šŸ™‚ (PS, Zero should charge for this)

i was young...but i don't recall thinking *that* much of Sharpe. it seemed more like he was one of only a few "better than good" players on the team. i recall him being a bit slow; too muscular to make the kind of plays Jennings makes. i never really thought Sharpe would have been considered a "great" player on a team which actually had a decent amount of talent.

maybe i'm remembering things as they weren't...but that's how i remember it.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Sterling Sharpe was THE only weapon Brett had his first couple of years. In fact Brett would throw to Sterling when he was double and triple covered and Sterling had the knack of being able to get the ball.

I will have to agree with others, Jennings is the best The Packers have right now(don't say that to DD)Driver a close second, but with the young talent The Packers have at wr it will be hard for GJ to surpass SS.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Don Hutson?

Cant wait for Driver to break Sterling's all time reception record this season.

I guess he has the opportunity to be the best Packer WR. But I dont look at it like that. I like to think of ALL the great WRs we have had.

huge sterling fan, love jennings, but he has to follow up with a bunch of great years to match sterling, if it wasnt for the neck injury sterling could have one of the best in the history of football as far as im concerned !!

i seriously don't get it. i've not heard anybody other than Packer fans talk about the guy the way you dudes are. *shrugs* rose-tinted glasses perhaps?

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.
