I'd say it's a healthy situation to NOT have a sure thing #1. The top receiver on any given day is the guy who gets the worst coverage by the D, and any of the top three are high quality enough to be super. And the next three are just about as good; And I wouldn't be surprised if the last three cut are damn good too. ALL made better courtesy of the Best QB in the game, maybe ever.

Jordy has been the most productive for the last couple of years (when healthy) so I'd say he probably will be this coming season. He's the best WR on the roster IMO at simply beating the guy across from him and has a great connection with Rodgers. He was leading the team last year before he got hurt and was one of the most productive players in the league the previous year.

That said, my vote is for Cobb. He's the explosive slot guy who can shake it loose and get to the house. Jordy's more of a possession guy, although he can get deep. Jones stepped up last year, but I just think Cobb is more explosive.

Kind of what I had in mind.

And Calvin Johnson.

But I'll take Cobb as he is just starting to drill into his potential.
