[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 288626, member: 2232"] (in the modern era, not back in the 30's & 40's with Donald Hutson) 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) [U][B]BEST SEASONS [/B][/U] [B]Sterling Sharpe, 1992[/B] 108 catches 1461 yards 13.5 avg 13 TDs [B]Javon Walker, 2004[/B] 89 catches 1382 yards 15.5 avg 12 TDs [B]Robert Brooks, 1995[/B] 102 catches 1497 yards 14.7 avg 13 TDs [B]Antonio Freeman, 1998[/B] 84 catches 1424 yards 17.0 avg 14 TDs [B]Donald Driver, 2006[/B] 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 [B]Sterling Sharpe[/B] was our best WR ever, and I think [B]Robert Brooks[/B] was as good as Driver, better actually, but he just didn't last because he ripped his ACL early in 1996 dammit. [B]James Lofton[/B] 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, [B]Greg Jennings [/B]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 [B]Don Hutson[/B] in 1942 though. 17 TDs in 11 games and 110 yards per game. And [B]Billy Howton[/B] in 1952, 17 TDs and 102.6 yards per game, in 12 games. Last thing I see that stands out, [B]Keith Jackson[/B] the TE in 1996 with 10 TDs. Can [B]J-Mike[/B] lead us to a Super Bowl with 10 TDs this year like that? Have a look deeper if you'd like.
