Jordy Nelson

lambeausouthMember

Per ESPN:

Spin: Nelson is not a No. 1 wide receiver. Let's be clear about that. When Greg Jennings is out, he often knocks out the fantasy value of both himself and Nelson in the process. However, Nelson will still play a full complement of snaps and it only takes one connection for a huge fantasy game. Keep your fingers crossed.

Orly?

Funny how Jordy has a big game when we have some offensive balance, and Aaron has time to throw.

To me any guy who could go on an NFL team and immediately become their number 1 is a number one. There's 32 #1's and I can think of a few of them off the top of my head that would become #2's the second Jordy walked through the door. Cleveland, Oakland, Jets, Kansas City, and Washington without really putting any thought into it. He might not be an elite, top 5 guy but he's without a shadow of a doubt a #1 WR. The only reason he's not considered as such is because Greg Jennings is a top 10 #1 receiver.

Jordy is a #1 Receiver period!!! My god what does he have to do? I agree with both of you!

How many times has Jordy come up huge in big games? He blew up in the Super Bowl against the best defense in the NFL. Tonight, against the newly anointed "best team in the NFL, in their house, Jordy torched them for three touchdowns. The first TD pass reminded me of the first score in SB XLV.

He's a #1.

So glad we have, ROTTen' and Jordy is a beast.

As every week go's by Jennings big contract from anybody is going down the tubes.. Luckily he has Rotten GM's on his side if he so chooses. It's sad tho..he will never be another DD figure (not many of those) and will mostly be forgotten in the league in a few yrs if/when he signs for the money.

As much as I like Jordy and Jones, I still would like to see Jennings to continue being a Packer!

I don't know, hntr74. Greg's being out could benefit us in the long run. If he's not getting the big payday, he likely stays with the Packers, doesn't he?

A pulled groin, while nagging, is not a serious injury that raises concerns. He came back and tried to play probably before he should have, and had a setback. I think he will still be a good receiver for some time to come, and the Packers will find a way to retain his services.

Besides, he's making that phat commercial money now.

Agreed. If we're hanging up 40 + against the Texans, imagine what this offense can do with Jennings back healthy. Nelson, Jones and Cobb give the Pack 4 legit stars at wide receiver.

No NFL team has 4 WR's of the excellence of the PACKERS. And when the OL give Rodgers 3-4 seconds to pass He's the best QB in the league.

Is it possible that Jordy doesn't get respect cuz he is a white guy?
Either way he is a playmaker, a # 1 WR.

He was #1 on my fantasy team this week, and won it for me.

IMO, I'm not sure Jennings is a number one. Numbers ones are guys like MegaTron, LFitz, etc. Jennings is definitely at the top of the list of numbers two's and the Pack has a stable of number two's...which is much better than a one and a bunch of 3's and 4's.

You ever thought about being a professional football analyst CB? You would give Emmitt Smith a run for his money!

I look at it like number one pitchers in MLB. There are special guys like Verlander, King Feliz, etc. and guys like Gallardo who are number ones of their team but not in that "elite" status. Jennings, IMO, is more of a Gallardo and Mega and LFitz are Verlander and King Felix.

Just my opinion and not a slam to Jennings. And yes, I will take an analyst gig if anyone has one. PM me for my agents number.

This was from the ESPN fantasy site. So they're talking strictly in terms of FF. When they say #1 WR they're talking the top 8-10 guys - i.e., a #1 WR on your fantasy team. So in that context they're right.

Edit - this was in reference to Jordy. Jennings is still elite, assuming he can get over the injuries.

There are maybe 5 WRs I'd take over Jennings...

Calvin Johnson
Andre Johnson
Larry Fitzgerald
Roddy White
AJ Green / Wes Welker

Of course he's a #1 when he's healthy.

He's not the top #1, but he's near the top. If you're one of the top 32 receivers in the NFL, essentially you're a number 1 or potential #1. Jennings credentials in 2010 and 2011 put him solidly in the top 10 and maybe even top 5 of number 1 wideouts. That said, in 2012 he is starting to show wear and tear and might be in decline.

Duuuuuude!!

Perhaps you're getting "elite" mixed up with "#1 receivers"

Jordy and Jennings are great #1 receivers; however, I can understand if someone would not call them elite as I would.

That guy was so good that Fedya claims he is white. Jordy is clearly black.

Clearly. Ike Taylor agrees if you watch the video.

Don’t forget DIII Jesus from Whitewater eh?? wavey He caught everything when he was thrown to.

The Pack has a rich history of WRs and when Jordy was at his peak he was in the mix to be considered one of the top 5 or 6 Packers’ WRs of all time.

As a cautionary tale to the 3 rookie WRs coming in this year, it really wasn’t until midway through Jordy’s 3rd year that he really started to look like a really good player. One reason Jordy was a bit of a late bloomer is he was converted from a DB in college and was still learning when the Pack got him.

5/19/228:45 PM

Timmy!TIMMAAAAYYY!!

It can also show them what hard work, study, and patience can result in.
Not everybody can be a Jordy, but everybody can try to be.
On field and off.

Patience is needed by the team also….and fans.

But if a guy looks to be shitty they need to take the loss and move on.

30 years old - 23 career receptions. He's probably the biggest myth in recent Packer history. It's not just X4 either. People love this guy that was nothing but a good ST's player.

😝 I like to see stats that show how many he dropped…..NONE. 12 didn’t throw to him as much as I wanted, but when he did, III caught em.

Maybe he didn't drop any, but he didn't get open either. hence no throws to him.

False. Last year he was targeted a whopping 6 times with 1 drop. A 16.7% drop rate.
