So, passing was not as expected. Couple that with Don's physical size, speed, and athleticism and you have one HELL of a weapon. Also, when you think about how many games Don played in, it really shows just how special he was. In this era that Donald Driver is playing in, passing is much, much more common place. There are more receivers to spread the ball around to (especially on our team.) and defenders are a TON more athletic. Even more so than most receivers I would bet. That is why Donald has less to show for his 200 games. HOWEVER, he is the Packers' all time leading receiver. That says a lot in and of it self. I was and am NOT trying to down play Don Hutson, Bart Starr, or Paul Hornung. Nor am I trying to exaggerate Driver, but I am just trying to give credit where credit is due. Also I am just trying to show you fine folks where I am coming from. Thank you, Robert N. Davis  - Packers fan for life.</blockquote>
