[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 574245"] Given that Jordy did not break out until 2011, the Rodgers-to-Nelson combo has a short resume of 3 1/4 years of starring performance. So, in body-of-work terms there are quite a few combos that I would rank higher: Isbell/Hudson Favre/Sharpe ****ey/Lofton Favre/Driver Favre/Freeman The Lombardi years present difficulties giving the run orientation in that era. For example, Dowler made the Pro Bowl in 1965 with 44 catches / 610 yds. /4 TDs. But I'd have to say, given the era, the players' longevity and the rings, Starr-to-McGee, Dowler and Dale must rank ahead at this point. While Dale was less instrumental in the championship years, he made 3 consecutive Pro Bowls afterward. I'd put -Nelson slightly ahead of -Jennings because Jennings had his breakout year with Favre, but that comparison is very close. -Nelson ranks slightly ahead of Favre-to-Brooks as well...that combo was too short lived. In terms of peak performance, say over the best 16 consecutive games, which is about where Rodgers-to-Nelson is now, I put them them 4th. on the list, ahead of the Driver combo and behind the Lofton combo. We expect the R-to-N combo to stay highly productive for several more years to come....there's alot of mileage left in those contracts. An eventual 4th. position in terms of body of work is a reasonable expectation if the guys stay healthy...perhaps higher if Nelson ages well and doesn't lose the key asset that defenses chronically underrate...his long speed.
