Jennings numbers with Rogers in just over a half of football:5 targets, 3 catches, 69 yards, 1 TD

He makes big plays on deep balls...but how many of those 12 TDs were because of deep passes...3? 4?So 8 others in redzone looks or where he took a shorter pass and made great moves.
Yes...streaked past.
And no...Favre has not said that about plenty of WRs. Not about Freeman...not about Brooks...not about Rison...not about Shroeder.
No other outcome is possible? Thanks for being narrow minded and proving you know nothing.

Jennings has helped me get this far this year. yep, he hasn't been reliable at all. Silly me for still being alive starting him every week.

How is this even a question? Welker is the best WR play in the history of FF this week. The guy has over 1000 yards and twice as many receptions as Jennings. Any team that starts Welker can't lose. Guaranteed.

Even better than Deion Branch (who had nothing to do with Chad Johnson really...)How is this even a question? Welker is the best WR play in the history of FF this week. The guy has over 1000 yards and twice as many receptions as Jennings. Any team that starts Welker can't lose. Guaranteed.
You have guaranteed a whole lot this week.I have a feeling I should go against every piece of advice you give and I would be better off.

Well, the didn't help any of his owners really. First week without a TD since week 10. Only his third week without a td all year (not counting weeks 1 and 2 while he sat out with injury).

I can't believe he didn't score a TD every week for the rest of his career.I have a prediction too. Tom Brady is FF death.
I'll be back to say "Told ya" on his next bad week.

Jennings...3 receptions, 42 yards, 0 TDs - 4 points in my leauge.Welker...5 receptions, 49 yards 0 TDs - 4 points in my league.I guess you had the weather all figured out too huh?How is this even a question?

Hold up, so what about your Welker prediction?? How'd that work out??

A little bit off....but he crushed Jennings in PPR though, 28% more output this week by Welker.

the sad thing is that your reverse-psychology anti-jinx actually turned out to be truewhen we all know that you have Jennings on your squad and you're hating him comingup short in your FF Championship game just like the rest of us.Many in this thread don't get it but I get it. You love Jennings and are happy as hellthat you had him on your squad this year. Even losing the FF championship doesn'tfeel so bad knowing you at least made it to the final game riding a WR who most draftedafter the 10th round.keeper next year? In a Keep 4+ format, I'd say so.

It ended like "A Bridge Too Far", but we never would have gotten there without him anyway.I was being semi-honest about him in my assessment though, he can't replicate the TD's he had, and as great as Favre is, Father Time is undefeated and always will be...Wouldn't want Jennings as anything other than a WR3 next year and I think he'll cost way more than that next season.

I think people were just picturing Lee Evans II or something. Greg Jennings got very little respect in the offseason.

Jennings looks to be a real quality sleeper this year. I wish I had drafted him in more leagues. I just wish he would stop getting caught before the end zone on some of those ridiculously long receptions...

river 2 Jones 2Jennings 1Jennings' TD's have dried up just like I said they would. Driver is still leading the team in receptions and is the primary red zone guy (just like I said he would be) and after Jones first game returning from injury, Jones had only two fewer targets than Jennings, making Jones and Jennings virtually interchangable as the WR 2 in GB.Jennings clearly is a favorite target for Rodgers. Rodgers just needs to get a bit more air under some of those throws so Jennings doesn't have to come back for them.The complaint last year was Jennings relying too much on getting TDs for his scoring and not on receptions/yards. Now he has reversed that, but it is pretty apparent that he will get many TD opportunities this year.My biggest concern was not with Jennings, but with Rodgers. It sure looks like Rodgers is going to keep the GB offense humming along at a high level. That makes Jennings a WR1 this year and a big steal based on his ADP.

His TDs have dried up because of 2 games? Really?Driver is tied with Jennings in receptions and has done far less with the receptions he has got...you whined all year about Jennings receptions, and now they mean nothing to you.Virtually interchangable?

Unreal. Jennings is not an interchangeable WR2 with Jones on GB. He may not have the TDs - and I agreed with you last year - but he will have the yards and be 1a or 1b with Driver.

As a Jennings owner, yeah, he's be solid so far, but wtf has gone on in the second half of both games? He has yet to catch a single ball in the 2nd half. of either game.

How so? It's simple.Your whole debate has been that Jennings cannot be a stud without the rediculous TD ratio and target percentage from last year, but he is already proving you wrong by being effective wihtout TD's this year.

Dude. This gets so old. You also said Jennings:a) would get fewer targets than Driver and possibly Jones this year;b) could not possibly sustain his high ypc average.Well, Jennings as 15 targets to Driver's 13. An average of 7.5 a year. That is above last years pace.Jennings is averaging 23.5 yards per reception vs. 17.4 last year.How so?2008 Red Zone Targetsi just read this whole thread.

Let's just agree to disagree. I don't expect him to finish with a 23.5 YPC. Also, the Packers don't play the Lions every week, so the numbers will only go down from here ,and as has already been proven, the TD's have vanished.
I think you need to look at the game log from the last game. Jenning caught a 60 yard pass that set up the go ahead TD in the fourth quarter.http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/apps/p...1/80914052/1058

Jennings keys Rodgers' first comeback win
By Rob Demovsky
rdemovsk@greenbaypressgazette.com
DETROIT — Add a comeback road victory to Aaron Rodgers’ short but noteworthy list of accomplishments.
Six days after beating the rival Minnesota Vikings in his first NFL start, the Green Bay Packers’ neophyte quarterback completed what some consider the toughest task in football — a fourth-quarter, come-from-behind victory on the road.
Rodgers has Greg Jennings to thank for it.
After giving away leads of 21-0 in the second quarter, 24-9 in the third quarter and 24-16 in the fourth quarter, Rodgers faced the most crucial series of the young season. Trailing 25-24, the Packers took over at their 20-yard line with 7:41 remaining. Little was said in the huddle while the offense waited through a television timeout, but Rodgers picked up on a vibe from veteran tackles Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher.
“I looked at those guys, and they just nodded,” Rodgers said. “I think they were confident that we were going to go down and put points on the board.”
The drive did not start well. Brandon Jackson ran for just 2 yards on first down. Then, a false start by left guard Daryn Colledge put the Packers in second-and-13 at their 17. At that moment, Packers coach Mike McCarthy called a play similar to one he used two series earlier in which Rodgers missed Jennings on a short slant route.
This time, it worked nearly to perfection. Out of a four-receiver set, Jennings lined up in the near slot to the left. He put cornerback Keith Smith on his outside hip and darted inside, where Rodgers delivered a strike. Jennings quickly turned up the field and scampered 60 yards.
“We had a similar play on a previous drive where I tried to hit Greg real quick, and I threw it behind him,” Rodgers said. “I was pretty upset at myself. We came back to a similar play call, a quick slant to Greg. I feel like, and I know our coaching staff does as well, if you can get Greg Jennings the ball with separation, good things are going to happen.”
Though the drive stalled at the Lions’ 21-yard line, Mason Crosby’s 39-yard field goal with 5:17 to play was enough to give Rodgers his first comeback win.
“My idol growing up, Joe Montana, was a guy who could always bring his team back in the fourth quarter, a guy who his teammates trusted with the ball in his hands late in the game,” Rodgers said after the 48-25 win at Ford Field. “You don’t want to have a lot of comebacks because you want to be ahead. Unfortunately, our lead dwindled, Detroit got the crowd back in the game and we were able to put together really one big play.”
It capped another near mistake-free performance by Rodgers, who has not thrown an interception in two games. His only major miscue was a third-quarter sack — on which he admitted he held the ball too long — that resulted in a fumble and turnover.
Rodgers bettered his 115.5 passer rating from last week with a 117.0 mark against the Lions. He threw for 328 yards and three touchdowns on 24-of-38 passing. His completion rate through two games stands at 70 percent.
“I thought he played pretty well again,” offensive coordinator Joe Philbin said. “We’ll have to take a look at the tape, but he hung in there, kept his composure, made some plays for us. Overall, we’ve got to be pleased so far. He hasn’t thrown it to the other team yet. That’s always big, so I think he’s off to a good start.”
An early trend in Rodgers’ play has been his efficiency on third down. All four of his touchdown passes have come on third-down plays. His first one on Sunday came on third-and-goal from 9, when Rodgers avoided a sack and threw toward the back corner of the end zone, where Jennings was open. Teammate James Jones, who was running a shorter route in the end zone, thought the ball was for him, so he jumped up to make the catch.
The second touchdown was a third-and-goal play from the 2 in which Rodgers recognized that receiver Donald Driver had a mismatch against linebacker Ernie Sims. Driver made a jab step to the inside to freeze Sims and cut to the outside, where Rodgers hit him.
The third one was a third-and-2 play from the Lions’ 29 in which rookie receiver Jordy Nelson beat cornerback Brian Kelly on a go route for his first NFL score.
The Packers were 9-for-16 on third downs, including 5-for-7 in the first half and stand at an even 50 percent on third downs through two games.
Though Jennings did not get into the end zone, he put together a monster day. In addition to his key, 60-yard gain in the fourth quarter, he caught a bomb from Rodgers for a 62-yard gain that set up Driver’s touchdown. On that play, Jennings was open deep, and Rodgers carried the ball 70 yards in the air. Jennings would have scored had he not had to wait for the ball to reach him.
Driver caught a team-high seven passes, but Jennings had six receptions for a career-high 167 yards.
“Aaron is very comfortable back there,” Jennings said. “The offensive line is giving him a lot of time to make his reads and find his open receivers, and we’re trying to make plays when we can. I think that’s the biggest thing that builds a quarterback’s confidence. If your receivers are making plays, and you’re making good throws, you’re going to perform pretty well.”
