[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 376583, member: 1429"] peak value? Wow. Walker had 1 great season, 1 good season, 1 promising season, and nothing else. 1 season with double digit TDs, and 2 seasons with 1000 yards. 1 season with 80+ catches, 2 with 50+ catches. And has never been the #1 season on a team. So, that peak value never materialized if not for 1 season. [url=http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WalkJa00.htm]Javon Walker NFL & AFL Football Statistics - Pro-Football-Reference.com[/url] The other posted 6 consecutive 1000 yard seasons, in a (so far) 12 year career where for the most of the time he was the team's #1 receiver. 4 seasons with 80+ catches, 9 seasons with 50+ catches. [url=http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DrivDo00.htm]Donald Driver NFL & AFL Football Statistics - Pro-Football-Reference.com[/url] And not only production, Walker was a louzy route runner with average hands, injury prone and a diva. Walker had more athletic skills than Driver, no doubt, and had one season where he was better than Driver. But one season does not a career make. Javon Walker never came close to the kind of wide receiver and football player Donald Driver is. And the short term theory is so, so wrong. The Packers are built for the future. So are the Steelers. Teams that tried to win now? 2010 Jets, 2009 Vikings, 2007 Patriots, and every year the Redskins show that this kind of formula is flawed. Heck, just take a look at the so-called "free agency winners" every year, and none of them ends up winning the championship. You'd have to go back to the 1996 Packers to really find a team that spent big in FA with veterans in the same year they won a championship. The thing with football is, it's not fantasy. It's not "who can play the brightest at a moment". Football is a game of endurance. If you can't be consistant, you don't play in this league. Ryan Leaf and Jeff George had more "talent" than Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Joe Montana... [/QUOTE]
