We don't have an elite receiver IMO. We do have an elite receiving corps. We are deep in very good and good receivers. If we ever get an elite receiver and maintain that depth it would be unreal how good the O could be. But that will be very hard to do because of the cap and keeping our core players. Also, we would have to be lucky to get one in the draft because, hopefully, our position is always late in the rounds.

Elite starters, as in Jennings and Nelson, yes.
Elite set of WR, as in the whole 5 or 6, no.

We overrate them just a tad bit.

Aaron Rodgers is a careful thrower of the football who won't let his WRs get hurt when throwing. While that's smart, I believe that's his achilles heel.. Defenses know our strength is in our passing game, so they're just gonna keep playing more close zone and man-to-man. Unless Rodgers grows a pair and starts to fit more passes in small places, trusting his receivers more --- it'll be a long season offensively.

If a D can't make a stop, you gotta play to score on almost every drive. It's a team effort. If one side sucks, the other side has to compensate.

IF the rest of the season, the D looks like game 1, we're gonna have to be super aggressive. IF the rest of the season, the D looks like game 2, then we'll have the LUXURY of playing the conservative route.

I think when talking about this subject, context would be important. Elite in the current league of today?

I would say we are in that company, ask yourself this, who else in the league can trot out a talent like Jones or Driver as their 4th or 5th option?

But if the context is are each of them elite independently... no I don't think so. I don't think one of them are an elite talent compares with Megatron, Andre Johnson, or Fitz.

Finley has all the tools to be elite in his role, in some respects he is, but has some work to do yet to get there. Drops being in the forefront.. but blocking as well. But few possess his ability to go inside and out and pose the issues he does.

Put our WR stack up against any other NFL team. Yes, Megatron > Gregorious. But then you go Megatron + Nate Burleson = Gregorious + Jordy. But then you go Megatron + Nate Burleson + Titus Young < Gregorious + Jordy + Jones or Driver. And when you get to the 4th level, I don't think there's any team that would be > than us.

Throw in TEs though and the Pats are arguably better than we are. Welker + Lloyd + Hernandez + Gronkowski is pretty close to Gregorious + Jordy + Jones or Driver + Finley. You could make cases either way.

So when you're arguing whether or not our stack is the #1 in the NFL, you got an elite stack.
