[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 460788"] I should note I don't even like talking about this stuff leading up to game #1. I wish Jennings felt the same. I don't think I'd attribute the loss to KC to the absence of Jennings...it looked like a flat and ill-prepared performance across the board...we looked past that game. This is supported by the fact we put up 80 offensive points in the next 2 games against DET and CHI, one with Flynn at QB. The game before KC, for that matter, we put up 46 points against OAK with Jennings catching 2 for 20. In any case, you're right, it is not a foregone conclusion and you cannot plug in just anybody for a Pro Bowl quality player. However, approximately the same considerations came into play with Jenkins and Wells, and the money involved in those decisions was not quite so daunting, albeit not for so-called "skill position" issues. With Nelson's ascendency, Jennings is more like a #1.5 and not a #1. He may be worth market value to some other team without a bona fide #1, but market value for us presents difficulties. The key here is not Cobb, or Boykins for that matter, but Nelson and Finley. If those guys continue to show they're horses we can ride into the future, the picture will be dimmer for a Jennings re-up, unless he's willing to take a significant home town discount, which does not appear to be the case. And to reiterate, he'll be 30 next season. And then there's the 2013 draft. [/QUOTE]
