Give me the healthy guy.Give me the professional.
Your argument makes sense... I just don't think for these guys it matters as much.Sure Walker's an ### hole, and Driver seems to be a great guy, at least to the media.
In redraft - DriverIn keeper/dynasty - Walker
After this year, the Packers go into complete rebuilding mode, and I think Favre retires after this go-around. Driver's value should drop next season, while Walker will be 2 years removed from the ACL by next season and have a year in Denver's system.
On my NFL team, I'd want Driver. Team players over me-firsters, def.
This year, Driver is the better fantasy choice, IMO. Next year (and following), Walker is likely to out-produce Driver.
Driver is 31...that's not very old for a receiver at all. If Rodgers steps in next year, Driver will still be the guy and still has some years left. He's the safer bet IMO for the next 2 - 3 years and can be had 2 to 3 rounds later in a dynasty draft. Walker has more of an upside, but also has a bigger downside He did it for one year, injury, made waves with his teamates..... Driver does it year after year. Driver has better value in any format IMO.
Javon is 27Driver is 31
Why do you think Walker has so much more talent than Driver? This often puzzles me. He put up a season with 1382 yards and 12 touchdowns. Driver's last two season have been over 1200 yards. He he's averaged 7 touchdowns in those two seasons. But touchdowns tend to be volatile in nature. I don't understand what it is about Walker that has people thinking he is so exceptionally talented. Please explain your reasons.
He's closer to Moss in ability than he is to Driver. Walker was a first-rounder out of Florida State. Driver was a seventh-rounder from Alcorn State. As it is, I didn't necessarily mean the same level of talent as much as the same skillset of using his body, making catches in traffic, and breaking away from defenders. I appreciate all that Driver's done for the Packers, and he does a lot of little things that he doesn't get noticed for, but his potential has already been maximized. Assuming Walker can make it back from this injury like other receivers have before him, his stock is still on the rise.

Meh. Driver's ceiling might have been reached, but Javon is 27 years old already and has had 1, count em' 1, 1000 yard season. He gets a lot of slack from supporter. Moss had 6 by that time. Chad Johnson has 4. Hines Ward had 3. Torry Holt had 4. Methinks you give Walker a little too much credit. I don't think he's in the elite class, not yet. He needs to come back stronger than ever to get a ticket to that party.Gotcha.He's closer to Moss in ability than he is to Driver. Walker was a first-rounder out of Florida State.

I did this from memory, I swear.
You are correct on all counts sir
Of course the point is, some awfully good WR's took longer than Walker's three seasons, (in Tim Brown's case twice as long 
) before they had their first 1,000 yard season.
before he had his 1st 1,000 yarder, Johnson 2 seasons & Moss - right away.
