Go badk a year and remember how this group was rated then. Driver was the only legit receiver and the rest question marks. What a difference a year makes. Must give T. T, credit for his talent evaluation skill.

Driver – Thougher than Brooks. Never thought I’d see a receiver that could expose himself in the middle as much as Robert Brooks. Driver does and he’s better after the catch.

Jennings – What a find. Great skill after the catch. He said yesterday that his knee is getting better. Can run full speed and cut without problems. Still has soreness.

Jones – does he look bigger this year? I think he could have a breakout year. Just a feeling, but there is something in the way he plays that exudes talent.

Martin – Great possession receiver. Team player and a valuable asset.

Nelsen – Too soon to tell, That’s the same thing I said about Jennings in his first year.

The rest – Francies dropped three balls against the Bengals. Not Good! Tomorrow might be his last shot. They might keep three tight ends. Humphery is still #2 on the depth chart and Finley will stay no matter what.

I think the overall strength of this group is one of the main reasons MM and TT feel comfortable with the transition to Rodgers. I’m sure it’s been pointed out here before, but the WC offense doesn’t require the QB to make a ton of difficult throws, it requires him to make a quick smart decision and deliver to the open man in order to let the reciever make a play running after the catch. These guys are all strong, relentless type runners (well the top three at least for sure). Martin has shown he’ll stick his neck out to make a catch and I think Nelson looks like a young Javon Walker in the way he moves and goes after the ball. This group is the #1 reason to feel optimistic about the transition to Rodgers and the year ahead.
