There wasn't many quotes from Favre in that article but it clearly emphasized how much he loved that same route.

What's missing from Jennings is strength, breaking tackles consistently, and not proven in jump ball situations.Without that he isn't a complete WR.

He's not going to win many jump balls because he's 5'11", but in that first highlight you showed of him, against the Raiders, he jumped and caught a ball over Nnamdi. You don't expect a guy his size to be the the physical tackle breaker or the jump ball guy. You expect them to be the guys who make a move on a route to be wide open for an easy catch in the corner of the end zone or something. He does that as well as just about any small wideout in the league. The big guys usually get a fly ball on a wheel route, the smaller guys usually get quick passes on slants, ins, and out routes. That's why even though Jennings is not the better jump WR than Marshall he still has more TD's. He doesn't break tackles consistently but he does evade them consistently and makes something out of every single catch. The point of being a wide reciever is making every catch relevant and that's what he and Marshall do so well... just in very contrasting ways. But, of course, Marshall still is the more complete WR... I'm just showing as to why a WR like Jennings would have a good argument to be better. He's not, but he can argue.

There are 3 teams in the NFL that I follow the most and it's the Broncos Packers and Patriots........

lol, trust me, I now. Packers with J-Migs, Patriots because you live in Boston, and Broncos because of Champ Bailey or because that was the great team you grew up watching (one of the two).

The Broncos is a long story. I got my first jersey in 1996 and I have liked them since 95'.

There wasn't many quotes from Favre in that article but it clearly emphasized how much he loved that same route.

He may love it but it seems his favorite is the deepball. He loves to show off his strong arm whenever he can.

That was Routt BTW but you pretty much said it right but you left out that there isn't one thing that he does that B-Marsh doesn't and Marshall does more. If Marshall had Favre as his QB I think he would deff have more than 7 TDs though......

Now you do notice that we're basically at a draw because neither of us are going to get him to say it's his favorite. All I can say is that he uses his arm on the slant just as much as he does on the deep ball. He loves them both. There, now we have a solution.

left out that there isn't one thing that he does that B-Marsh doesn't and Marshall does more.

There is one thing and that's getting separation. He doesn't get much separation on his routes, especially without the use of a double move. On just about every catch Marshall has a defender at least within a yard or two from him. Jennings makes quicker cuts and can make a 3-4yard crease with an easy target for his QB to get the ball too.

 If Marshall had Favre as his QB I think he would deff have more than 7 TDs though......

Now that would be up for debate. You would think that if Donald Driver had Favre as a QB he would deff have more than 2 TD's though. Oh wait....

DD just didn't get in the end zone this year. I really don't know. It was just one of those years. Look at Al Harris he played like shit this year...

To me it don't matter haha. Brandon will still get away. We watched it all last year.

Peter King is a hack. Even Wal-Mart greaters give him the cold shoulder.
