Dear vikesrule jr,

When I skimmed the article, I got the impression that Driver felt he was almost 'owed' the starting position. I disagree with that and I feel every starting position should be earned in training camp. Competition breeds excellence.

Hazed.. illegal.. I think I still have the FOB paddle around someplace. ;)

Zero was a QB.. he should have gotten hazed daily.. that is he could take off that "don't touch me" red jersey that those candy asses donned for a moment. lol.

Driver will either earn his playing time or he won't... personally I won't bet against him.. but I think he believes more think like Dakota.. that he is done.

Best thing for a guy near the end.. have someone doubt him and turn him loose.. if he has it left.. you will get it.. if not.. tis' done.

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.

The next week I came off the corner and smoked him in practice.. I was scolded on the field but patted on the back in coaches office later. Ron never was well liked after that and it was his last season of ball.

Some things just are embedded upon you.. that red jersey and the mouths under it were one that stuck.

I'd rather have played with no helmet at all than sit out a game.

WR Rcpts Yards TDs
Gregorious 65 929 9
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 🇦🇷 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.
