[QUOTE="DevilDon, post: 372257, member: 2057"] It seems you want to rewrite what a "starting" WR is. That's up to you but nobody and I mean NOBODY in the NFL past or present doesn't recognize Driver and Jennings as the starting WRs. The fact that the Packers offense is so versatile and complex doesn't negate the fact that everyone recognizes who the "starting" WR are. It's not who you line up on a given play, it's who sees the regular action. And that my friend are Driver and Jennings. And here is where you are confused. When playing basketball it's the first players out on the court. But a football team might decide to come out in a different formation to confuse defenses. Just because the WR wasn't the first WR on the field doesn't mean he's not the starter. I think YOU'RE confused. If a team decided to play Jumbo from the first play you'd put that WR as a "starter"??????? Look it up, look at how many plays the Packers had and how many times Jennings and Driver were in the game. That's what defines a "starter" versus a 2nd or 3rd WR. The reason they put Nelson in Jumbo is because he's the biggest WR. It's all by design, but if Nelson plays in the first play of the game and then doesn't play for the rest of the series he's not a "starter" I acknowledge that in Brazil that "starter" might mean something else. But in the NFL the starter is the guy who gets all the snaps. I'm not trying to argue, I get you're a fan, but to say the Packers don't have true starters is to ignore the way every other fan of NFL football sees it. It's a small point, but important in the way you defined your previous post. BTW, all those other receivers were from different organizations and different offenses. Back in the day with our previous QB they didn't have as much diversity and you could (by your definition) define starters and backups. But it doesn't change they way the NFL and all it's fans perceive "starters" BTW I'd welcome any other fan's enlightening of RS as to what constitutes a "starter" in the NFL. [/QUOTE]
