It won’t be the same next year if both Driver and Greg Jennings are gone. Both are real pillars, exemplary of what you want the people on your team to be.

Well yeah. He’s a competitor like any driven player. If he’s not on the field when they start losing, he’s gonna want to be. He feels he can make a difference.

He knows no other way to be. I hope he has a decent year with a few more TD’s and then hangs them up. I’d hate to see him put on another jersey.

He still has a few big catches left in him.

It’s really an unwritten rule that players are aware of, & I would hope Driver sees the writing on the wall, & walks away gracefully. Don’t make them come out & say “Hey, you’re done”. He’s a WR well on the other side of 30, go out with dignity, don’t be a T.O.

Of course he’s OK.

If I were him, I would be happy to retire a Packer, with a ring and the love of my long time fans. It’s a good thing he’s hasn’t tried to jump to another team to reclaim his “glory days”.

I’m not big on playing someone just because of seniority and legend if the younger guys are playing better but that hasn’t been the case this season.

This is the worst the receivers have played in a few years with or without Jennings in the lineup and I think it’s because they became content with their success from last season. People think the defenses are dramatically different. No, the receivers can’t get separation and the o-line has at least a bad half every game.

By all accounts, Driver had a very nice training camp. The Packers need to see on Sunday if he can be a boost with Jennings out.

I would expect that out if Owens or Moss but i thought this guy was better than that

Packer Nation will sorely miss him when he decides to hang up his cleats.
