We used to have a Vikies fan here, but I think he went all "free agent" on us. On the 'one good number one' receiver issue ... hey, we've sung that song, oddly though ... the Packers with the exception of Adams AFTER he settled in for a couple of years have always been dogged about not having a #1 receiver, even when we had Nelson, Driver, Cobb and Finley on the field at one time. Even then, those guys didn't get open in the view of the great unwashed masses .... Rodgers THREW them open was the usual line.I use Adams as an exception because at the outset, the kid couldn't hang on to the ball - BUT - he could get open. I'm of the old timers (a fan before ESPN and, has never played Madden) opinion that in today's NFL, the biggest distractions a team can have will usually be a prima-ballerina receiver or a "look-at-me" defensive back. I'll take 4 slightly above average receivers who recognize a team concept versus a HEY, I MAKE $25M PER ... THROW ME THE BALL OR I'LL POUT mindset.Anyway, Rodgers even acknowledged that he'll throw to the open guy versus looking for 'his' guy. It was the right thing to say, but, toward the end of his stay probably wasn't accurate.</blockquote>
