Will the Packers struggle on offense without Jennings and Driver?


By: Michael Tellier

After losing offensive veterans Donald Driver and Greg Jennings, the Packers may take a step back offensively in the upcoming season.

Despite the fact that Driver and Jennings only accounted for 11.9% of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers completions in 2012, I still think that both players are extremely good under pressure, and they had both formed a solid relationship with their QB.

I’m not saying that the cheese heads won’t win the division without these two players; in fact I still think that they probably will.  They still have Jordy Nelson and Jermichael Finley, who have both proven to be valuable assets on offense.  I just think that if they get in to the playoffs, they will need someone like a Jennings or Driver to help them advance.

Rodgers in my opinion is easily one of the top five QB’s in the NFL, and that’s why I still think Green Bay will be ok.  And who knows, long term this might be good for them since both players are no longer in their prime anyways.
