WR Ferguson Loves New Offense

CBS Sportsline - [Full Article]

Green Bay Packers current # 2 wide receiver Robert Ferguson called the team's new offense "heaven sent" and has worked hard to be a factor on the field this season. "He's a very physical football player," new head coach Mike McCarthy said. "I think he's done an excellent job in the weight-training area. I think he's playing with strength and confidence and I think he's ready to take the next step up. Just a lot of positive things throughout the spring from Robert."

My take: I have never been a Ferguson fan and there is certainly a real chance that this is a 100% fluff blurb.

However there is obviously a real chance that the #2 receiver in Green Bay could have value this season in fantasy football and Ferguson's talent has never been called into question.

He has frequently frustrated QB Brett Favre over the years but he is still young enough to have learned from his mistakes and he is a player to keep an eye on during training camp.

Yikes. Sounds just like two years ago when I bough the Ferguson hype hook, line and sinker. Ferguson will never be more than a WR3 in my opinion. It has nothing to do with physical skills, and everything to do with this head. How many alligator arm passes can a guy attempt before a QB gives up on him? I've venture to guess Favre has very little confidence in Ferguson. Ever since Darious laid him out, he has been more aware of the defender than the football.

Always hear about his potential, but that's never translated into anything at WR.

He had a scary knack for taking a big hit. I don't know how or why but I don't think I've ever seen him play where I didn't think "ouch" before last year.

There's a fine line between that and what Man in yellow hat said above. IMO He doesn't have a clue what it is. It's gotta be frustrating for he and Brett. I think the Pack would like nothing more than for him to get it right but I'd bet he's replaced and in a much lesser role this year. Antonio Chatman playing elsewhere(Cincy?) is a bigger deal than it might seem now IMO.

He's on the 7 year breakout plan. Wait another year.....

I expect Ferguson to get hurt, but he did have a four game stretch early last year where he went for 14/223/3 - have to love that Favre targetted him successfully for TDs 3 times in a four week stretch. He could be a good guy to draft and trade as soon as he does anything.

Is it time for another revolution?

 

[King of the Jungle]

Can a GB homer break it down for me why this guy has yet to take it to another level? He has the size and speed you look for. Does he have Bill Schroeders hands or does he keep his rock collection in his cranium?
