I feel bad for Mr. Nelson.
This stuff sucks.

No it didn't. Losing a white wide receiver isn't going to hurt any team. Detroit might improve though
my draft was going on at about the same time: Jordy had already been picked, maybe second round. I picked up Adams in round 12, but nobody knew about the injury yet.
I just picked him up on a flyer, and since Boykin left.
As for real life, hate the news. Always respected Jordy Nelson...I sat in the stands and watched him single-handed beat my alma mater (Texas) with at least one, and maybe two punt return TDs. Also had TD reception I think...just killed us. What a great football player.
Green Bay is deep at wide receiver but you just don't replace a 13 touchdown guy. It's that plain and simple but they of all teams have a chance to still be a real solid offense. As a lifelong Packers fan I'm just sick but also remember the last Super Bowl Green Bay won they had a simply horrible injury ridden season and found a way to overcome it. I think it goes down as one of the finest sporting achievements I can recall seeing all the injuries they overcame. Next man up.
Your wife made you post that, didn't she?I never said it wasn't a big deal but that team is talented enough to overcome his loss.
I had a keeper league draft last week and he was one of two I kept.
@LambeauLegs what are your thoughts on this?
Both. This clown won't last another month.
And it was a brutal loss for my FF team, I was absent most of the weekend and selected him with my 2nd round pick (after Bryant). I was trying to have a studly duo of WR's.
My league always does the fantasy draft the night before the season starts to avoid all these injury issues. Why do people do them early?
I was at the game and now traveling so have not been on much the last few days. As we all know injuries can make or break a teams season. I myself feel confident it will not have much of a negative effect on the Packers season as the depth and talent the Packers have will be able to over come this. Rodgers helps make his receivers better than they may be with a lesser QB and Davante Adams was going to be a much bigger threat this year than he was as he adjusted to the pro's and had great games at the end of the year and through the playoffs. Adams was mentioned as the MVP of the off season and training camps.
There is 2cnd year receiver Janis that will get more opportunities who is the fastest player on the team. The rookie Montgomery has had a fantastic training camp who has been called a bigger strong Cobb or another Sterling Sharpe.
The question to ask was who thought Jordy Nelson was anything a few years back? The Packers are good at developing receivers and know when to get rid of them when they are not producing at the same level anymore looking back at Jennings, Jones, Driver.
Adjustments will be made but this will not effect the team much as the Packers are much more than one player.
As you read all the news articles it seems the Packers will be devastated because of this injury. But this is all a bit of an over reaction because they are not aware of what the Packers really are and the team depth.
So after reading some of the rah-rah stuff about how deep the Packers are at WR and how this won't have much of a negative effect, I guess GB is just wasting money on Jordy Nelson? Why are they paying this guy if they're just as good without him?
