Which was the best individual season for a Packer WR?
Take into account # catches, yards, TDs, avg per catch, and Wins-Losses that year.
(Sterling had so many great years, I am leaving out his 18-TD season because he only had 1100 yards and averaged just 11 a catch, TE numbers)
BEST SEASONS
Sterling Sharpe, 1992
108 catches
1461 yards
13.5 avg
13 TDs
Javon Walker, 2004
89 catches
1382 yards
15.5 avg
12 TDs
Robert Brooks, 1995
102 catches
1497 yards
14.7 avg
13 TDs
Antonio Freeman, 1998
84 catches
1424 yards
17.0 avg
14 TDs
Donald Driver, 2006
92 catches
1295 yards
14.1 avg
8 TDs
My point is, while I love Driver and he's really my favorite player on this team, I still am positive Sterling Sharpe was our best WR ever, and I think Robert Brooks was as good as Driver, better actually, but he just didn't last because he ripped his ACL early in 1996 dammit.
James Lofton has 3 of our best 9 seasons ever- as far as yardage receiving goes. He didn't catch as many balls (different era), but he caught a lot of deep balls, big plays.
Also, Greg Jennings really hasn't blown-up yet like I think he is capable of. But we have so much balance now so it might never happen. Same with Driver. He's had super longevity, and consistent good-greatness, but never any monster individual seasons.
Give it up for Don Hutson in 1942 though. 17 TDs in 11 games and 110 yards per game.
And Billy Howton in 1952, 17 TDs and 102.6 yards per game, in 12 games.
Last thing I see that stands out, Keith Jackson the TE in 1996 with 10 TDs.
Can J-Mike lead us to a Super Bowl with 10 TDs this year like that?
