Davante Adams caught 10 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' win over the 49ers on Thursday night, and afterward he was ready to call himself the best wide receiver in the NFL.

QUESTION! What attributes make a WR the best? Catching? Route running? Speed? Temperament? What more of one thing can you handle if there is less than the other? Example, if he's slower, but catches everything, he can still be the best.

Adams is just lucky that Greg Jennings is out of the league, or Adams would be the SECOND best WR in the league.

Asking an athlete if they are the best is a trap. You expect them to say, nah, I suck? Adams was humble in his answer and is humble. To suggest otherwise shows lack of listening to any interview with him.

(Sorry, this is off the subject) There is one thing I wish the Packers would be more aware of esp in "under control" game situations. IIRC he has been close to franchise and league records (receptions or yards) on a number occasions and he falls just short.

In such a situation, you would think the would throw him a screen or one of those hand-off like passes, just to eclipse those records.

I’ve thought about that too. I don’t know why they don’t do that. Let him get the records.
Could it be some clause in his contract that would get him paid more?
The last couple of seasons, didn’t he come up just short of 1000 yards? Maybe it also would have got him more money.
