22 receptions 347 yards 1 TDI know the Vikes have had WR issues, but not even they can consider those stats to be "very good"
What are you trying to say?
Ok. Now we can discuss it.Koren Robinson with an ailing Culpepper and semi-erect Brad Johnson putting up 16 yards per catch and getting to the Pro Bowl as a returner now catching passes in the aerial circus that is Green Bay, or Mark Clayton who has never averaged more than 10 yards per catch with Boller throwing to him. Ike Hilliard with Garcia lobbing the ball? Dennis Northcutt? Isaac Bruce? These are the guys on the wire. I think, if you have a roster spot you can play with (which everyone should) - you can do much worse than taking a flyer on Robinson putting it together with Favre tossing the rock. I don't think you can expect more than 4 cathes per game (if that), given the receivers already there, but they can use him deep and he can run after the catch.....we'll see.
Umm...he can catch. Yes, he does drop quite a few...but the guy has shown he can catch.I don't think too many people are trying to think he will be more than a #3 or #4 guy in GB. And yes, he is a viable option for that.We've established that Favre wants him out there, but I don't see how that proves that Koren is going to come in there and actually catch the balls thrown at him. Favre has had very few games with Koren to base his opnion on and he is going off what Koren has lived on for his entire career, potential. The proof is that when he is in the game, he drops the balls, period. Favre could wish for a new Reggie White but that doesn't mean some underachiever on his team is going to step up and be Reggie White. Sure it would be nice to have someone other than Ruvell Martin in there, but just wishing that Koren was in pads doesn't change the fact that HE CAN"T CATCH. So again, until you have some proof that Koren can be a viable (not to be confused with simply available) fantasy or NFL option...Prime example...Last week's game vs. Chi: GB is down by 7 and needing a late score. Jennings and Jones are out due to injury. Driver is paired opposite of Ruvell Martin?!? No disrespect to the Saginaw Valley State alums on FBG, but...Then Favre comes out this week saying about Robinson: "I think he can offer a lot"...probably wished he had him in there for that drive.
