[QUOTE="TJV, post: 372262, member: 4300"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] That's an [I]interesting[/I] statement but it isn't relevant to what I posted. I posted regarding the common [B]usage[/B] of the term "starting wide receiver" as it relates to the NFL.

Ask Jordy Nelson if he's a starting WR for the Packers and he'll tell you 'no', just as Jones would even though they both have started games when the Packers opened the game in three or four WR sets.
