[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 564896, member: 5830"] I don't remember that except for his one day hold-out the day before the regular season opener. Favre got all prickly about it. Sterling was the only good receiver for Green Bay, so from that perspective he got a lot of passes and expected the ball. His real knack was for yards after the catch, since he was so strong. The guy talked a lot too, which rubs people the wrong way. When his neck injury finally forced his retirement, the Packers were finally fielding a good group of WRs to take his place. I remembered thinking at the time that losing Sharpe would let other players blossom, and it did. Favre all of a sudden stopped looking for Sterling and became widely praised for hitting double digit WRs during each game. Robert Brooks emerged, Terry Mickens and Bill Shroeder played a role, Ed West had one of his best seasons, and Chmura also came of age. Sad as it is to say, I've always felt that the loss of Sharpe opened up the Green Bay offense to be more diverse. [/QUOTE]
