Per CBSSports, Jordy n Davante the Top WR Duo? Do you agree with this?

Well they DID have the most touchdowns. Some geek on the NFL network strongly implied that our WR's look better than they are because of Aaron.
4, 3, 5, 6, 1, (this one was tough, I could switch 1 and 6 without much fight) 2, 8, 7, 10, 9
I'm pretty close with his Bongedness, though I'd move 8 up near the top also.
His 1 and 2 have much to do with each team's 12.
#5 would be my 1. Then again, any of these duo's facing a Capers D would look All World and since #5 just kicked GB's ass up and down the field maybe it's my still being traumatized.
I know Jordy isn't there yet but I fear the season when it just kind of falls off. See Donald Driver.
You people really need to give up on this Ankles guy. Stiff.

FAKE NEWS! I've talked to many people, great people, very smart people, and they say Adams is dominant. Some have said he's the best 2nd round WR out of Fresno St. that has ever been in the league.
Donald dropped off at 35, Jordy is only 32. We didn't really see evidence that Driver fell off as much as we did that he started to slow down some and just got phased out. Jordy was a year removed from a major knee injury and looked as quick/fast as he did when he was 25. I think we still have a few more good years with Jordy.
You can still call him ankles but for different reasons. He's breaking CB's ankles now.
A. Rodgers could take any of those pairs and make them #1
Donald Driver was never as good as Jordy.
Duhvante Adams numbers will be interesting to watch this year. With the depth and quality of talent at TE, an even deeper WR corp, and perhaps a better running game, there simply may not be enough football to go around for Adams to match or better 12TD's and 1000 yards.
I could see him "dipping" to 800 yards and 8 TD's (ish) not because of a drop in effort/talent/or ankles, but more because the opportunities for him may just be limited.
If the above happens, Ted/Russ Ball will be doing a happy dance in trying to re-sign him.
Adams and Hank won't be all that pleased though..
Jeff Janis told me to put down the pipe.
This list might as well be a list of the best QBs in the NFL (at least 1-6). With the exception of Carr who just became one of the highest paid players in the NFL, 1-6 is a list of WRs whose QBs have lead their teams to a Super Bowl.
I l love Jordy, but I wouldn't put Adams and Jordy at #1. Julio Jones is better than Jordy and I'd guess Sanu was better than Davante. Same thing for Antonio Brown and M. Bryant.
For the past 25 years, we've had QBs that made our WRs look much better than they probably were. Who were the top WRs during the Favre/Rodgers eras. Here's a list off the top of my head (I'm probably missing someone). The only HOF-level player was probably Sharpe. Nelson, Driver, Jennings, Brooks, and Freeman were all Pro-Bowl guys but are we looking at any of them as HOF-level guys if they played with a league average QB?
9 guys have at least one season with over 1000 yards.
1. Sterling Sharpe
2. Nelson
3. Driver
4. Jennings
5. Brooks
6. Freeman
7. Javon Walker
8. Cobb
9. Bill Schroeder
Three more have at least one season over 800 yards
10. James Jones
11. D. Adams
12. Terry Glenn
Travis Jervey says **** all y'all I'm hitting the hooka pipe and going surfing in Belize
That list is a bunch of BS anyway. Everyone knows the Vikings have the best WRs in football just ask their fans
Take that no.1 combo and throw in Kendricks/Bennett. Sheesh!!

@"traumatized"
a couple years ago I'd have picked Odell & Marshall #1. Now I'd probably go with Antonio Brown & M. Bryant. Steelers also have Sammie Coates, Eli Rogers.
I'd put Steelers / Packers as 1a & 1b as an entire team of WR's.
I know Julio is great but, surprise...Duhvante is better than Sanu & the Packers as a team are better than the Falcons in the WR dept. Hell I think Taylor Gabriel is better than Sanu
Lovepack made a good point too. Our TE's are going to be instrumental in making our WR's look even better than they are.
Oh...BTW....we have a guy throwing the ball that ain't too shabby.
Hang in there Packerboi. Packers emptied the tank vs. the Cokeboys in the playoffs last year.
Even the great Dom Capers can't make better CB's than what we had playing vs. Atlanta.
2017 is a new year. That stuff that happened in January is over & done with. I've forgotten it. So has McCarthy. You should too. Look forward, not back.
