Thank you, Dhazer is so full of BS.
Johnson > Jennings.
Burleson < Driver
Johnson 2 < Jones
Why you even compare a RB to a WR is beyond me. We don't have anyone to compare to Best. He's a weapon. Just like Logan. Best is average as a pure rusher, though.
Logan hasn't caught a pass this year, so again, how do you compare him to a conventional WR like Nelson?

Ok he said weapons not wrs thus the comparison. We have no RB thus i put Best against Jones. You say Logan hasn't caught a pass big fricken deal he runs the ball and is a threat every time he returns a kickoff so he is better than Nelson. Pettigrew is by far better than Quarless and I would actually put him up there with the likes of Finley and Gates. Look at his stats when he doesn't have a 3rd string qb throwing to him. Burleson to me is equal to Driver they both are like the 3rd down goto guys but also can make a big play. Driver 40 for 449 and 4 tds Burleson 44 for 507 and 4 tds ya I see how driver is so much better.

Burleson is also the clear-cut No. 2 WR on Detroit. Driver is stuck competing for opportunities with Green Bay. Furthermore, Driver has a proven track record. Burleson does not. Driver has also been banged up. Granted, Burleson has as well, but Burleson's injury hasn't been near as bad as what Driver has had to endure this season. He may of been active in 12 games, but Driver has really only played in nine games this season. There really is no comparison here. Driver is a better player than Burleson. He was last week and he is this week. You don't produce nearly 10,000 yards receiving on accident. Burleson is a journeyman.
The idea that you would compare Logan to Nelson is baffling me right now. Just because the announcers say Stefan Logan is a dangerous weapon doesn't make them right. They're listening to coaches all week long and they repeat what they hear. Most of the time, they are wrong. Logan has exactly nine carries this season. His career high was five against GB last week. Yeah, he's a real threat as a runner. He's a one trick pony. He returns kicks. That is it. He is hardly someone you have to game plan for like a Devin Hester or Josh Cribbs as well.
I also have to add that it is absurd to compare Pettigrew to Finley and Gates. Unbelievable in fact! Gates is a Hall of Fame TE. The second greatest TE in the last 20 years more than likely. Finley is a potential successor to Gates on every level. People tune into watch Finley play. He is that good.
Pettigrew is a blocking TE. He is more Bubba Franks than he is Finley or Gates. In fact, he was drafted high because of his blocking. That is the strength of his game. Pettigrew is a throwback TE more than he is a Finley or a Gates. He isn't a bad player by any means. I actually like him, but he shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Finley or Gates.
A more realistic list would look as follows.....
1. Calvin Johnson, Detroit
2. Greg Jennings, Green Bay
3. James Jones, Green Bay
4. Donald Driver, Green Bay
5. Jahvid Best, Detroit
6. Brandon Pettigrew, Detroit
7. Nate Burleson, Detroit
8. Jordy Nelson, Green Bay
Green Bay has three guys in the top half of this list. Detroit has three guys in the bottom half of this list.
That is a good example as to the structure of both teams' rosters at least at the skill positions.
