He is third in YPC in the NFL (2nd in the NFC)

He is fourth in TD's in the NFL (2nd in NFC)

He has made big catches in big games. He really lit up the Dallas secondary with Rogers at QB. I think he is taking his game to the next level (pro-bowler).

Burress would get the nod before him. So would Fitzgerald. And of course T.O. is your starter.

Outside chance Jennings could get in as a reserve.

BTW, very quietly once again DD is closing in on 1000 yards and is the 6th leading WR in the NFC.

JJ is also on pace to outperform Jennings rookie season. Couple that with Robinson and Martin, whew this team is stacked at WR (barring injury of course).

In all probability, Jennings and DD will both go over 1000 yards. We havent seen that since the Walker/DD days.

he could be but his stats are just a little low because green bay throws to so many different people. the 11 TD's might buy him a pass but i think ultimately the credit will go to favre and he might just be viewed as a product of the system. might make it as an alternate.

a lot of times even if a guy deserves it this year, he might have to wait a year to get recognized. then he might make it in a year in which he is less deserving.

What's his average?

He also missed the first three games. That makes his TDs more impressive.

Yes.

Jennings epitomizes what it means to be a big play receiver. He doesn't call attention to himself, however, and that seems to be a detriment to receivers making the Pro Bowl.

Had Jennings been healthy at the beginning of the year, I'd think he'd be a shoe in.

He's 14th in the NFC in yards
He's 25th in the NFC in catches.

His own teammate (Driver) has 73 catches to his 46.

Tough to crack into a lineup that features

Larry Fitzgerald
Torry Holt
Terrell Owens
Donald Driver

Jennings is good and has a flair for the spectacular but he isn't pro-bowl....yet

-Jennings has played 10 games to Driver's 13

-Jennings has 46 catches to Driver's 73

-Jennings has 812 yards to Driver's 963

-Jennings has 151 LESS yards than Driver with 27 FEWER catches????

They obviously play different roles, but Jennings numbers, if played over 13 games , would be:

60 catches for 1056 yards and 16 TDs-THOSE are Pro Bowl numbers, folks!

Wow - Holt is having a good year with a crappy team... Need to control this guy on Sunday.

Jennings has good numbers. Maybe not pro-bowl but close. Playing on the NFC-N Champ with some of the highlight plays he has made, non-Packer fans who understand football may give him a vote. Opponent players and coaches certainly know what he means to the Packers offense.

He's on pace for 59 catches, 1,034 yards (17.7 ypc), and 14 TDs, 14 20+ yd. catches, and 8 40+ yd. catches.

Those aren't amazing numbers but they're up there with some of the best.

Agreed. When playing, Anquan Boldin is also playing very well, but his injuries will cost him too.

No one (except you, maybe) bothers with that kind of math before voting. Besides, it's such a popularity contest that Jennings would lose even if he had those numbers...

Yeah, but the point is he doesn't have those #'s. Sure, had Jennings been healthy/productive for an additional 3 games he'd be in consideration. It's not about what you could've done were you playing, it's about what you actually did.
Jennings' time will likely come soon enough.

Fortunately for GB w/ great records often come accolades. Favre, Driver, Kamp, Woodson all make the PB I think.
Barnett, Harris and Lee all have a shot too and it wouldn't be surprising if any of them make it as well.

He's just not reliable enough, right LSU?

As I am sure most all of us agree, while many of us feel he lacks the numbers to deserve pro bowl status, the following is part of the package that is Jennings:

1. excellent slant receiver

2. superb yards after catch

3. has to be ~Top 5 in the entire league as a deep threat (elite speed)

4. excellent hands

5. good character guy


I think most of us thought 1,2,4,5 were strong possibilities after his rookie year. BUT, #3 is something you just don't see all that often. That, to me, pushes him into the elite category. The guy is a bona fide threat with the BOMB. When is the last time we have seen that? And I'm not talking a long pass that was a slant with maybe 30-40 YAC, I am talking over the shoulder long pass where the ball was aired out for 50 yards.

Man, let him stay under the radar. With 1-5, including #3, he is ELITE, in my mind.

It's a done deal. You cannot possibly have the long TD's at the rate he has had and have it not be so.

Weren't they supposed to draft Chad Jackson?

ProBowler has nothing to do with stats. It has everything to do with popularity. If enough people vote for him, he will get in, simple as that.

Just think what he would do in an offense where the Z receiver was something other than a decoy.

He's definitely getting there. To most Packer fans he would be in consideration, but he hasn't reach the popularity it takes to make it there. But, if he has a great post season, and has that same production next year, he will be in.

Was everyone so confident after the first 3 games of '07? I seriously doubt it.

It was never about ability, rather availability. As was stated numerous times if Jennings could be productive for any extended period any concerns would be assuaged and they obviously have been. Now one can legitimately state the guy's been productive most of his career; 10 games ago the converse was true.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if Jennings didn't make the PB at some point in his career; he appears to be that good IMO but those guys getting in ahead of him aren't exactly scrubs. Often times players make the PB a year or so after they probably earned it IMO.

Surely you can't believe stats have nothing to do with the PB. Sure, popularity is significant but so is production. Favre's probably one of the more popular players league-wide but many years his numbers sucked therefore he wasn't in. His #'s are great and magically he'll be back.

Granted, some positions like Alstott at FB for so many years are purely popularity but most of those skill guys get in off of - or one year after - big statistical years.

I love Jennings but Driver is a freakin' stud and deserves the Pro Bowl more than Jennings. He should get it just for being one of the toughest SOBs in the league.

Agree 100%. Driver being double covered a lot of the time is why Jennings is open more often than not. Driver is the most underappreciated player in the ENTIRE league, bar none.

Driver is a stud, plain and simple.
