Sharpe would have had alot more if he headn't had to retire because of injury.
That said, I'd rather see Driver with the record, as he's a great guy, and Sharpe was full of himself.
Driver has worked his butt off for this team. And i LOVED watching him today. He was all over the place, and you could see he was having fun.

I agree with you when it comes to personal reasons, but had Sharpe not been injured, we probably would have won the SBs in '95 and '97. Sharpe was simply unstoppable, much better than anyone we've had since and that includes Javon Walker, despite what Favre says.

Sharpe is better than anyone today, and that includes Randy Moss and Larry Fitzgerald. Bold? Perhaps. But the stats back me up and I've seen all of them.

I wish I was older when he played. I definitely dont recognize him like you guys do.

Moss is simply incredible. If he had half the work ethic Jerry Rice did, he'd be making a run at Rice's records. He doesn't though, and he'll fall short.

Fitzgerald is a blast to watch. Love seeing him going up for a jump ball and coming down with it.

Sharpe though not only had it all, if anyone could have made a serious run on Rice's records, it would have been Sharpe. He was a TD machine.

Even with his short career, Sharpe has been nominated for the Hall. I don't think he'll make it because of how short his career was, and also because the first half of his short career was wasted with mediocre QBs (Majik was good but he only had one or two years where he wasn't hurt).

As long as he actually ran into the end-zone.

But I agree, from what I've seen, he was a very impressive receiver. I found Javon Walker to be a little more flashy, but Sharpe to have way more substance. Jack of all trades and also master of most. If it wasn't for that injury....

I remember sharpe; I remember they both used to compete against each other ie the brothers one in denver the other in GB.

I'm real happy for driver. I mean that guy deserves it - another 1 handed catch. The guy just rocks.

Yeah CONGRATS to Driver.

Great player and an even better person.

But yeah, kind of strange that he is the only 600 reception guy but I guess that speaks to the lack of WR greatness with the Pack.

But we can't really complain when had Lombardi, Starr, Favre, White, etc.

To NOT put a player of SS caliber in the HOF is a shame. It wsn't his fault that his career was cut short... It wasn't gambling, criminal record, drug problems...
hmmmm. 7years of being the TOP receiver in the league and no HOF nod... Something smells fishy!

Arguably the best player of his generation was a WR - Don Hutson. He revolutionized the game.

We also had James Lofton, who had the most yards record until Jerry Rice came along.

Sterling Sharpe could have made a run at Rice's record.

Now we have Driver and Jennings, two long shots at the HoF (there are a lot of really, really good WRs today, not a knock on them, just saying there's a lot of competition).

So I wouldn't say the Packers didn't have good WRs in our history.

Now, I wish our site historian would come along and tell us about Dale, Dolar, and Max McGee. How good were they? Before my time so I don't know. The only reason I know about Hutson is I listen to old men in bars talk football.

The other thing, 600 receptions is a new thing. In the old days, you simply didn't pass like you did today. 4000 yards was very rare. I remember Lynn Dickey was one of the first QBs to do it. Now several QBs each year throw for 4000 yards.

Same thing with 100 receptions. Used to be very rare. Not any more.
