So the guy holding the number 2 receiving position doesn't hold back 3 and 4? They're learning alot standing there on the sidelines watching, right?

No he doesn't, they don't have Driver at the #2 position because hes the default #2 they have him there because he gets the job done. The only way he holds them back is if he doesn't produce but they leave him in anyways (drops passes/ doesn't break tackles etc...) and as far as I can tell that didn't happen. Jones was hurt last year and Jordy had enough opportunities to make a move.

When Driver stops being money making catches that other WRs are scared to make and stops powering his way to the 1st down (his job) and they don't replace him with a guy who gets that done better then you can complain. I think I remember seeing a stat last year where Driver had caught more passes over the middle than pretty much anybody in the NFL and I have never seen him get "crocodile arms".

Not me needer.

DD is one of the few Pro Bowlers who would not let his ego get in the way. He can drop from #1 to #2 to #3 or maybe even #4 and still bring value to the team.
I say run him out there with his walker if need be and let him play.

I will admit I would have supported trading Driver for Boldin, but I also find Driver fun to watch. He's one of the few receivers in the league who will battle like hell for extra yardage without coughing the ball up while scrambling for that last inch. He simply refuses to go down.

Not only do I think it's laughable that he would be cut or traded, I think it's borderline laughable to assert that some younger WR will knock him down the roster. Y'all put players in the Old Folks Home way too quickly - with Driver's preparation and conditioning, I predict he'll have yet another very good year.

Driver had one of his better years this season with Aaron Rodgers at the helm. In Favre's record-breaking 2007-2008 season, when Jennings' numbers started to pop, Driver saw a gross drop in TD's. His TD's are back up now.

This team needs Donald Driver as long as he still has it, and all indications are that he definitely does still have it.

Never thought Driver would leave and I feel he'll be with us for awhile yet. He was almost 30 by the time he fully broke out. And he's not holding anyone back as 3rd receivers and even 4th receivers get on the field a fair amount, especially with our offense.

He has always said that he is a Packer first and foremost, and never given any indication otherwise. If someone was saying that he was as good as gone because of his loyalty to Favre, they were just trolling for s&g.

Don't think so either. James Jones might eventually become the nr. 2, but with the amount of times that we come out in a 3-4-5 WR set, he should still be on the field pretty often.

I think that he'll be around for at least another 2 years.

Zero2Cool (19h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (23h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (23h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
