From John Czarnecki's Blog....

A very young team, Green Bay appears to have had an excellent draft when you consider that two rookies, Daryn Colledge and Jason Spitz, are projected to be the starters at left and right guard, respectively. I realize it is early but second-round pick Greg Jennings from Western Michigan looks as good as any returning veteran at wide receiver. He may end up being the best receiver in this year’s draft.

That's great, but it could also simply mean that Green Bay lacked talent on the O-line and at WR.

Is it possible for you to respond to Packer criticism objectively, without being a punk? This is a consistent theme in every Packer thread. I'm FROM Green Bay and LOVE the Packers, so don't direct your hatred toward me.Jennings looks to be a solid player, from early indications, but he's still a rookie. He probably wouldn't start on a team with a good #2 WR.

And my O-line comment is still spot on. Which is, of course, why you conveniently ignored it.

Concede what point? Jennings has been everything the Packers had hoped for so far and outside observers agree. I didn't make any predictions on his fantasy impact this year. The point of the thread was Czar's observations and he feels Jennings may be the best rookie WR. That has nothing to do with the state of the Packers O-line or their WRs. Even if the Packers had the best WRs in the league, it would not change Czar's observation about Jennings.

Doesn't surprise me at all since I considered him the most overlooked player in the draft. The Packers obviously saw something in him they liked and drafted him much higher than he was expected to go.
 
jennings could emerge as one of the best WRs in this draft... especially since the scouts said this wasn't a great class for WRs (not a dis of jennings, but a statement about how doable it might be)... no andre johnson, larry fitzgerald, roy williams, etc...

he went to a small school (western michigan), but might have gone a lot higher if he went to school like USC, miami, ohio state, LSU, etc...

chad jackson has very impressive physical tools, but it is unclear how much he will be used in spread attack favored by NE, i wasn't really blown away with the highlights of holmes (in the NFL network coverage of the draft chavous & mayock were talking about how he & jennings were similar & jennings may have been slightly quicker on the quickness drills at Combine), moss is very fast but tiny & may take a few years to hit his stride...

jennings runs polished routes, has great hands, underrated speed (scouts didn't expect 4.4 at Combine) & was one of the top punt returners in he nation & can bust some open field moves.

Woodson thinks Jennings Should Return Punts..

From JSOnline today..

Notes: Woodson speculates on punt returner

He wants to do it, but picks Jennings

By BOB McGINN and TOM SILVERSTEIN

bmcginn@journalsentinel.com

Posted: Aug. 3, 2006

Green Bay - The Green Bay Packers are just one week into training camp but already Charles Woodson has seen enough to offer an educated guess about who will return punts in the regular season.

"When the season comes (Greg) Jennings probably will be doing a lot of it," the veteran cornerback said Thursday. "Don't put it out there like I'm making a decision on what's going to happen. But I just got a good feel for him just watching him."

Jennings, the wide receiver drafted in the second round, has been far more sure-handed than wide receiver Cory Rodgers, who might have been selected in the fourth round more as a return specialist than pass catcher.

"Jennings looks pretty comfortable doing it," Woodson said. "He's square on the ball when it's coming down. He's got a good feel. I also think he's going to be a good receiver in this league. Definitely. I've just watched his demeanor."

Woodson reiterated that he would like to return punts even though he returned just 12 punts in eight seasons for Oakland and hasn't done it full time since the 1997 season at Michigan. Coach Mike McCarthy said Woodson remained in the return-game plan.

"I'll probably still be doing some of that," Woodson said. "But with all the things we're doing defensively. . . ."

McCarthy also didn't foreclose using Woodson in the future at wide receiver, a job that the former Heisman Trophy winner lobbied for this spring, but added that he wouldn't play offense now. The fact that Woodson bypassed all but three days of the off-season program to work out on his own in Houston didn't help his chances of contributing on offense, according to McCarthy.

When informed of McCarthy's comment, Woodson said, "I'm not going to get into that, man. No comment."

Go back and read your own post. Czar's observations included comments that this was a great draft for two reasons: 1) 2 starters on the O-line, 2) Greg Jennings. THAT is what I commented on, not just Greg Jennings absolute performance level.Jennings looks good so far - against weak competition. The O-line starters - ditto. Why can't you recognize that the Packer draft - and perhaps Jennings - only look good because of weak competition?

Yeah, against the weakest WR class in years....And once again, no comment on the other half of his point -- the O-line. It's just amazing....

I'm gonna try this one last time.1) I agree that Jennings looks good. He could hopefully be a solid starting WR this year.2) In addition to that observation, I called into question Czar's comment that this is a great draft for Green Bay because 3 rookies might start on offense [yes, I realize this was a tangent]. My reason for skepticism: our O-line and WRs are so weak, OF COURSE 3 rookies have a chance of starting. That wouldn't be as likely to happen on a good team.Fla\/\/ed obviously doesn't care to discuss point #2, probably because it wasn't central to the original intent of this thread. Fair enough. I still question if this is a great GB draft -- but I'm hopeful that the two O-line rookies will work out. Time will tell.
 
i am shuked?wasn't the article on Jennings and NOT the state of Green Bay's O-Line?
Don't the two kind of go hand in hand?If the O'line, with 2 rooks on it, can't give Favre time to go through his checkdowns, wouldn't that impact Jennings? :confused:

If they were playing right and left tackle it probably could. As guards, I don't see it as being as much an issue with the passing game as it will the running game. Colledge did play LT for Boise and is listed as a G/T so he shouldn't have many problems with pass protection. Especially since it was one of his strengths entering the draft.
 
It's pretty amazing for a rookie WR to be the best in camp, along with Favre's comment that this is the most talented team he's ever been a part of. Maybe the comparison to that other MAC WR isn't so far fetched. ;)

Jennings could either be a legit #2 for a long time, or if Green Bay gets the right team around him, could turn into a cross between Marvin and Derrick Mason. He has the raw talent (probably more Mason than MH), but Rodgers won't be helping any WR anytime soon.

Somehow I'm not expecting much from Jennings this year, Favre won't have time to check down, Driver is the go-to WR, leaving Jennings as a player I expect to make a few nice plays throughout the year, show some glimpses, but overall, won't mean much in FF, or to the Packers this year.

 
Packers | Jennings emerging as threat to earn starting jobPublished Mon Aug 7 8:50:00 a.m. PT 2006(KFFL) Pete Dougherty, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers WR Greg Jennings is standing out in practice and is making a strong case for a starting role alongside WR Donald Driver. Jennings play earned him a start over WR Rod Gardner in a recent scrimmage and has also earned him confidence from QB Brett Favre.
 
(Rotoworld) Packers WR Greg Jennings missed his third straight day of practice with a hamstring injury.Impact: The injury is believed to be minor, but it's slowing down Jennings' incredible rookie camp. He's already moved up to No. 3 on the Green Bay depth chart.

When watching a couple WMU games, Harrison did come to mind. I am pretty high on Jennings and think he is capable of a Mason type career if not better.
 
From Cliff Christl - highly respected beat reporter for the Wisconsin State Journal:

Rookie wide receiver Greg Jennings isn’t Randy Moss. Certainly as a rookie and maybe for the duration of his career, Jennings isn’t going to have defensive coordinators breaking into cold sweats, fretting that he might score on any given play from anywhere on the field if they don’t gear their coverage to stop him. But Jennings looks to be about as ready-made as any rookie receiver the Packers have had since Hall of Famer James Lofton in 1978. And that includes first-round draft picks Sterling Sharpe and Javon Walker, who made big impacts but not until their second year.

Wednesday was the 22nd practice of camp and Jennings as he has done on more than occasion made the biggest play of the day: Catching a deep bomb from Brett Favre down the sideline. Jennings might not have been the biggest – he’s 5-foot-11 and 197 pounds – or fastest receiver – his 40-yard dash time was 4.42 – in last spring’s draft. But he’s quick in and out of cuts, blessed with natural hands and probably more able than most rookies to escape bump coverage. On top of all that, he already acts and plays like a seasoned veteran. “His greatest strength is maybe his poise and maturity,” said wide receivers coach Jimmy Robinson.

If Jennings stays healthy and continues to improve, he could be a second-round steal and a productive receiver over a long career even if he never scares people like a Moss or Terrell Owens.

This is all hypothetical, but if 10 pro scouts had watched the Packers from day one this summer with no previous knowledge of the players, here’s a bet that if they were asked today to identify the best player on the team or at least the player who has had the best camp, one or more would name Jennings.

Preposterous you say? Brett Favre hasn’t sparkled the way he often has in the past. Charles Woodson has had a good camp, but hasn’t jumped out on as consistent a basis as Jennings. Donald Driver has a boatload of experience over Jennings, but he’s no more talented and probably hasn’t made as many big plays. A.J. Hawk hasn’t jumped out for a high No. 1 pick. And Ahman Green is just coming back from his injury.

Former general manager Ron Wolf, who has been in camp for two days, was asked that question Wednesday. He said he hadn’t seen enough to pick out one player, but that he could see where some scouts might pick Jennings. The good news for Packers’ fans is that it speaks well of the pick, to this point anyway. The bad news is that if an unheralded second-round draft choice sticks out as much as any player on the roster, it’s a team that it’s in dire need of stars or playmakers if you will.

:bs: I love Jennings as a talent and have pursued him in many leagues, but this statement is preposterous. Driver is as dependable as they come and Jennings would be lucky to have a similar career. Youd think this kid was jerry rice the way some people are writing about him. Overhyping rookies seriously has reached a new high

If you read Christl regularly, you would know he doesn't overhype anyone. If anything he errs on the side negativism. Keep pursuing Jennings and smile later.

Wasnt referring to Christl specifically although I do take issue with him saying Tyrone Culver is making plays that Mark Roman couldn't.I was referring more to the Driver part.

If this were the case then Cortez Hankton would be the #2 WR in Jax and Maurice Drew would be the starting tailback

His analysis of Culver was specific to athletic ability. Do you think Roman was better than below average as an NFL athlete. He is/was horrible. Christl has pointed out time and again what a mistake it is to overpay for mediocrity - you are better off taking a chance on younger/cheaper players who have an upside.

Jennings goes beyond that description. He is a player. He flew under the radar because of a marginal 40 time, but take a look at both his college production and his work in camp. Better than good.

 
I've been saying all preseason..

Greg Jennings will be the best rookie WR this season. He will win the #2 job and he will do amazing.

He is already wowing coaches. There's front page stories on him in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal... he knows the playbook and how to read defenses- one thing that slows WRs from making an impact their rookie year...

When the worst thing a coach can say about him is that he should have cut harder on a route... that's saying a lot. There's not much bad about this guy. He's going to be something special

 
A guy on another board I frequent has stated that he's had quite a bit of email contact with Jennings, and he's a very down-to-Earth type of kid. In all his interviews he sounds very mature as well.

 
The best thing going for Jennings is that the Ferguson is the only thing standing in his way of being the starter.

The downside is that GB is going to struggle a ton this year - especially early as the O Line tries to gel.

 
From John Czarnecki's Blog....

A very young team, Green Bay appears to have had an excellent draft when you consider that two rookies, Daryn Colledge and Jason Spitz, are projected to be the starters at left and right guard, respectively. I realize it is early but second-round pick Greg Jennings from Western Michigan looks as good as any returning veteran at wide receiver. He may end up being the best receiver in this year’s draft.
That's great, but it could also simply mean that Green Bay lacked talent on the O-line and at WR.
:whistle:

Driver was the best in camp. Do you mean the best #2? I think he'll be Driver-light this year.
