As for Driver, he's not done. But he's not a #1 or #2 WR on the Pack any more. Jennings is #1, Jordy's #2. Who knows how Cobb turns out, but we may be seeing Driver at #4. Jones may or may not be a Packer in 2011. Driver will still get 500 yards and 2-3 TDs this year.

Jordy 48 876 9
JJ 24 450 5
DD 27 282 4
Cobb 17 255 1
Reading the numbers, Gregorious is clearly the #1 WR but Jordy has indeed emerged as #2. JJ remains a deep threat, but the good thing is all of our top 3 WRs are targeted deep. This is a GOOD thing.
Driver's receptions and yards may have declined, but š¦š· knows that Driver is still CLUTCH. When you need a red zone TD pass, if Finley isn't open, Driver is.
If you look at Driver's 4 TDs in 2011, against the Broncos he had an 8 yard TD. Against the Rams he had a 7 yard TD. Against the Giants, he had a 13 yard TD and a 7 yard TD.
So 100% of his TDs this year were from the red zone.
Driver's role has changed significantly this year. Last year, he was targeted deep a lot more. This year, he's a first down/red zone TD receiver.

2010 will be seen as the beginning of the new Packers dynasty. š¹š¹ š²š² š¦š·
