Schefter: Packers releasing Jordy

[The Natural]

He was a complete non factor when Rodgers went out. What's he going to do with Dak slanging the rock.

About to be 33, no thanks

We’re to busy freaking out over the 34 yr old philly signed to care

 

[KJJ]

Without Rodgers playing.

When Aaron played. 380+ yards and 6 tds.

From the reports I’ve read he was looking noticeably slower last season. He’s 32 and they’re calling him old and slow. If they felt it was just the QB situation they wouldn’t be releasing him. They just signed Jimmy Graham and are obviously looking to shake things up.

 

[Verdict]

Still think Dez is 100 percent safe?

So on the hundley Rodgers spectrum where’s my man Dakota land

 

[Verdict]

Jordy is tough,high football IQ, runs great routes and has good speed still. Great team mate.

In other words the "Anti Dez"?

 

[KJJ]

We don’t need to be adding another slow receiver to our receiving corp. We need some speed. Nelson is a product of Aaron Rodgers in my opinion. Pair him with a lesser QB and he won’t be very good. Read several reports that said he was looking noticeably slow last season.

Eagles will step up.

Yup

 

[408Cowboy]

I wonder if he is still saying this today.

He was talking about butt cheeks anyway

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Eagles will step up.

If he can still play........that will be a nice move for them. To go with the rest of those 30-40 year olds they have over there.

So on the hundley Rodgers spectrum where’s my man Dakota land

Dak >> Hundley

I cannot even put Dak and Rodgers on the same playing field. But only a handful of guys are (Brady, Brees, Rivers etc)

 

[Corso]

Some people's hyperbole is funny! Other people's is just bitter... I generally enjoy both.

 

[Swanny]

He had a 9.1 avg per catch last year.

He had a guy throwing him the ball that shouldn't be on any Nfl roster

 

[GenoT]

If Aaron Rodgers was actively onboard with this move, or at the very least didn’t object, then you gotta figure Nelson doesn’t have much left in the tank.

Because if it IS true(?) that the laser-throwing Rodgers no longer believes in Jordy, then of course it stands to reason that the Cowboys should bring him in as a target for the less-accurate Dak...right?

YOUR KIDDING. What good is speed if you cant get open and run good routes? ,...see DEZ...and twill.

 

[Rayman70]

if Jordy is slow..GREAT...sign him up because all I know is THAT SLOW player can get open and catch.

All kinds of bold Dak Prescott bashing going on up in here today.

Jordy anywhere near his prime, or even Jordy from a couple of years ago, would be an incredible add to the Cowboys. Saw a couple of interesting facts about Nelson:

• He is ranked #1 in NFL history for long (40 yard+) TD receptions. He passed Jerry Rice back in 2014 in that category with 7.
• Nelson posted 1,250-plus receiving yards and 13-plus TD catches in the same season 3 times in his career (2011, 2014, 2016), the 4th most in NFL history behind Hall of Famers Jerry Rice, Randy Moss and Terrell Owens

Having said all that, I watched a bunch of Packers games last year and he looked done. I don't think a change of scenery is going to change that.

Nelson had a three year stretch that compares to any WR that has ever played, yet had a bad year statistically because of an injury to
his QB and now he's "old and slow"... smh
