Actually, the decision on DD should be quite simple. If he is clearly better you keep him. If not, you keep the younger player who has more upside and costs less.

In my ideal world, however, I want him beat out because that tells me that a younger guy outplayed a player that was already pretty good, thereby improving the team (and special teams), theoretically. I only think this is an option for Driver because I don't think Jones or Nelson can be beat out by any exterior player currently on the roster (although perhaps we have another Donald Driver in training somewhere with one of these guys?). I had the same opinion near the end of Farve's career, especially after the preseason and Dallas game. True, Rodger's was almost totally unproven, but I thought ultimately he was better than Favre at that point in their respective careers and only had room to get better, while the exact opposite was true for Favre. This is despite all of Favre's "leadership" or "experience" he may have brought to the table. As a I said earlier, an old leader leaving only makes room for another to step up in his place. Also, I must admit, I'm giving Ted the benefit of the doubt in some ways, too, because he is as good as they come in evaluating wide receivers. If Ted really likes Gurley and any other of those guys, I trust that they have potential to be significant contributors, even if it's not much outside of special teams.

Will Tori Gurley be our 2012 Brett Swain?

More likely yes than no. I'd LOVE to be wrong.

I want him to come back pretty badly. We will see how the business end plays out.

I do not want to see Driver back nor do I want to see him gone. I want the best guy in and contributing.

If that is Driver, great. If it isn't, thanks Donald, you have been one of my favorite players and one of my favorite people to cheer for.

If Gurley is an improvement, that is good for the team's overall talent.

But whoever is in there, catch. the. damn. ball.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

If i didn't think DD still had "it", i'd say let him go. But i really think he's still a darn good player. He's not afraid to go across the middle, and is dependable when thrown to.
Better to have too many good WR's then not enough. And it seems he's willing to take a pay cut.

That is the business end then. I really think we keep him. The draft put defense on notice more than the offense.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?
wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
