[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 832313, member: 12283"] Packers not named Trevor Davis returned 26 punts for 154 yards last season (5.9 YPR), which is less than half of Davis' average. And the difference ends up being a lot bigger than just the difference between averages, because bad returners just tend to fair catch a lot more, gaining zero yards of field position. The difference between a good punt returner and a bad one is usually a lot more than 16-20 yards. I am not trying to say that this is a season making or breaking factor, but it does have a significant impact. And I would much rather keep Davis as the 53rd guy on the roster and have a viable PR game than keep, say, a 5th lineback or a 10th offensive lineman. Davis is going to contribute a lot more to the team than any other roster bubble guy. Also, the diminishing value of returners only relates to kick returners. Which is why I'm only talking about punt return skills. [/QUOTE]
