I should care more about the WR, but I don't. I think we have a stellar #1 and then the rest could be #2 through #4's at best.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Allen Lazard and Darrius Shepherd aren't just nice little feel-good training camp stories anymore.

Not as the preseason enters its final week and the two receivers look like legitimate candidates to survive the Green Bay Packers' final cuts.

And it might not be a one-or-the-other scenario; the Packers could keep them both

I'm pulling for Shepard to make it for sure.
I'm intrigued by Lezard but I'm not sure about giving up on Davis to keep Lezard.
Then there is Davis's injury history to think about should we keep him.
This is a tough call.
I don't think Lezard would last long if we try to stash him on the taxi squad.

To me his deal was he couldn't contribute on offense. But he has shown he can beat the jam and run routes. That's what I wanted to see.

It's really really difficult to get excited about the fringe WRs. There is a new one or two every year that journalists and fans fall in love with. They get released and then there is a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth when they sign with another team. Interestingly, we never seem to hear about them when they get released again.

Every player matures at his own rate.

Davis showed he could play ST's from year one, now it seems his route running had came around.

Why let him go now just when it seems he can contribute more than on ST's?

I can see Davis and Shepherd making the team.
With Adams, Allison and Kumerow.

It will be interesting to see if they keep 7 WRs again...

But I like Lazard's potential and think he could keep developing, and it's been said he's been surprisingly good on kick off coverage, consistently being one of the first guys down the field.

But they're going to either keep 7 WRs or make someone unhappy with their WRs decisions, but as wpr said, that happens every single off-season and we almost never hear about the guy being released actually developing.... fans just get too caught up with the WRs (and not enough with linemen) because they're the flashy position that's easier to watch and judge.
