Well, we all thought it would be fun to watch this group of talented receivers with Aaron Rodgers at QB, and it sure has been fun. Here are the numbers. Multiply them by three and add a little bit extra to project how they will do for the season if things continue as is (which, of course, they won't):

Greg Jennings: 29 catches, 448 yards, 15.4 avg, 4 TDs
Jordy Nelson: 18 catches, 309 yards, 17.2 avg., 3 TDs
Jermichael Finley: 22 catches, 301 yards, 13.7 avg., 3 TDs
James Jones: 14 catches, 228 yards, 16.3 avg., 2 TDs
Randall Cobb: 9 catches, 174 yards, 19.3 avg., 1 TD
Donald Driver: 9 catches, 76 yards, 8.4 avg., 1 TD
Tom Crabtree: 2 catches, 19 yards, 9.5 avg., 0 TDs
D.J. Williams: 1 catch, 7 yards, 7.0 avg., 0 TDs

Five games into the season, I would say that the biggest surprise has been Donald Driver's lack of production. I did not expect him to drop off so drastically, especially after he looked fine in the preseason. At this point he is a starter only in name. I see him standing on the sidelines during many key plays now. I wonder at what point Nelson and/or Jones will be named the starter opposite Greg Jennings. I'm also surprised that Andrew Quarless does not yet have any catches. Has he even been on the game day roster?

I don't want to dwell on the negative, though. There is only one ball, and it's not going to be distributed evenly. The only trend I will predict is that Randall Cobb will become more involved. The best thing about having all of this receiving talent is that if one or even two of these guys get injured, as long as it's not both Jennings and Finley, there will still be plenty of talented guys to catch the ball.

Quarless was inactive last week. Until he can contribute on special teams I don't see much changing. They don't really need more receivers at the moment.

Ya Quarless and Driver are hurt. Cobb is explosive man. He's gonna beat out Jordy for the #2 spot for sure. And Jordy's good.
Any one of our 5 WRs could be # 1s elsewhere. And that doesn't even include the TEs.
Thanks TT!

Any team for which Driver could be a #1 receiver isn't sniffing the playoffs any time soon.

I took their averages and multiplied by 3 and...WOW! They are really going to produce the rest of the season!

Okay, he wouldn't be a #1 for any team whose receiving corps wasn't severely depleted by injury. 😝

Agreed. I don't think Jones, Nelson, and Cobb could be #1's for most teams either, although Jones and Nelson could definitely be #2's, and Cobb probably could.

Fan Shout
Mucky Tundra (8h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (8h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (8h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (8h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (8h) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (12h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (12h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (12h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (15h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (15h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (15h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (15h) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (15h) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (15h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (15h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (15h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (16h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (16h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (16h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (17h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (17h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (17h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (17h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (17h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (18h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (18h) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (18h) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (18h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (18h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (18h) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (19h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (20h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (20h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (21h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (21h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (21h) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (21h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (21h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (21h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (21h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (21h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (21h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (21h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (21h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (21h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (21h) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (21h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (21h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
Zero2Cool (21h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
packerfanoutwest (22h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
