But you were the one who posted that Driver is “the best receiver the Packers have ever had. HOF bound.” And then when the great Don Hutson’s name was brought up, you were the one that posted you are completely ignorant of Hudson: “Never heard of Don Hutson except for a practice facility named after him, I guess.” Hudson is in the conversation of the best Green Bay Packer player ever so it surprises me that someone frequently posting on a Packers board wouldn’t have ever heard of him except for the practice facility bearing his name. Some may find that pathetic: Hudson isn’t an obscure figure of history, he’s a shining light in the history of the NFL’s proudest franchise.
Regarding Driver your idea he’s the best WR in Packers history and “HOF bound” has been knocked down pretty well, and I don’t mean any disrespect to Driver by mentioning that. In fact, I don’t know of a single post by a Packers fan here disrespecting Driver’s Packer career. But appreciating Driver as a person, a teammate, and appreciating his great Packer career is not contradicted by recognizing that he is at the end of that career. That’s all some of us are saying. Look, it was great Driver caught that TD pass today. But out of 35 passes with a depleted WR corp missing its top two receivers, he was only targeted twice for a reason. And yes, he caught both passes but his total yards on those two catches was just 10 yards.
OK I wrote before that I was done with this thread.
Not quite yet. So sue me.
If you want me to be done, then stop arguing.
You all started this, I tried to end it, and you all kept it continuing.
It's reaching. Really, really reaching to be going back into ancient Packers history to be pulling up the stats of an old dinosaur who is no longer relevant to today's Packers.
Frankly my dear Packers fans, I don't give a damn about Don Hutson. I really don't.
All I'm focusing on is Donald Driver who is the best Packers receiver.
Every time they mention how great and awesome Driver is, I have never ever once heard him being compared to a now dead Don Hutson. Not once.
That's because they are focusing on today's Packers. If you guys want to live in the past, fine. Do that. I don't care.
But don't be going "My old player is better than the guy you're rooting for. Nyahh-Nyahh-Nyahh!"
Packers still like Driver and think he is relevant.
I'm so grateful that any of you who thinks he is done is not a coach. Obviously you would have let him go or benched him. Driver is still needed and still gets it done.
A 4-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Donald Driver was the eventual game-winner. It gave the Packers a 21-12 lead and capped a 52-yard touchdown drive that saved the day for a Packers offense that was at most other times ineffective, and allowed the Packers to escape with a win that wasn’t expected to be nearly as tight as it was.

- By appearing in today’s contest, WR Donald Driver joined QB Brett Favre (255) as the only players in franchise history to play in 200 regular-season games. Driver became the 22nd wide receiver in league annals to play in 200 games.
- Driver’s fourth-quarter TD catch was his 62nd career touchdown, which moved him into a tie with RB Paul Hornung for the No. 5 spot for the most overall touchdowns in franchise history.

And Jack, I used to respect you and admire your knowledge. That is "used to."
But when you post arrogant things like you are doing here, then what I see is someone acting like an internet troll.
My tolerance is up. You are now on my "ignore" list.
Thank god that you do not work for the Packers. You really have no clue on how to run a football team or coach one. So stop acting like it. If you think you can, then apply for a job with the Packers organization.
I am sure they will welcome you with open arms and your impressive knowledge on how a team works at game time.
