Haha I totally forgot Jahri Evans started for us for like a whole year.

I agree with Rodgers, but some of these choices are pretty much just 2000s players living off name recognition, Julius Peppers included. He was pretty good for us, and while he was also pretty good for the Bears, neither of his stints was All-Decade material, and it's not even really close.

I wonder about Larry Fitzgerald, but it's true that the obvious choices were already selected, so I guess you could make a case he's the best of the rest. If we're going off ability though I would put Tyreek Hill 4th, or possibly Jordy.

I think it's funny that 3/4 RBs spent time in Buffalo.

Tyrann Mathieu is a surprise in there, until you look at his stats. I knew he played decent in Arizona, but overall he's had a very solid career.

we all wonder about this player or that one on this list, you'd swear that we even know what we are talking about, or have a friend that does :rotf:

thing is the people that make these list at least use some sort statistical data, and while some of the qualifiers seem ancient, it's very probable there stats still are better then other we think deserve mention more.

Fitzgerald is such a player, easily one of the best of his era, cripes he ran through all 11 in that playoff game against us, some of our players 2 and 3 times, same with Peppers, just because he wasn't as destructive with us and the Bears he still was dominate plenty.

Rodgers this decade
• 2 MVPs
• 1 SB
• 1 SB MVP
• 1 losing season
-
Brees this decade
• 0 mvps
• 1 SB
• 1 SB MVP
• 4 losing seasons

I really always wondered why ppl under rate Larry. These a top 5 wr all time. I dont even think thats debatable. He has been that good for that long. Sure his numbers may have been netter the decade before but 5 1000 yard seasons and 61 tds for the decade are pretty solid. Hill has played 4 years and has 2 1000 yard seasons. No way hes even in the convo.

Honestly nelson should have been the guy next to fits. More tds and about the same yardage for the decade. Also on a way better team.

well Brees did donate millions to a worthy cause though :lol:

I think it's impossible to compare players specially so QB's, to many tangibles ( scheme fit, supporting players) so much of there production is dependent upon the ability of others.

and then of course WE know that Bree's and NO where guilty often of padding the stats, running up the score :thwap: so to me Brees gets a demarit for that, making Rodgers the automatic choice after Brady :clap:

Larry Fitzgerald's problem was that an over-the-hill Kurt Warner was the best QB he ever played with.
Calvin Johnson is in a tier by himself IMO.
If Jordy were to replace anyone on that list it would be AB IMO.

Sproles is a little bit of a head scratcher.

I think longevity carried some significant weight in forming this list.

Just on pure yardage it is Brown, Fitzgerald, with the leader being Julio Jones. TDs it is Brown, Bryant and Nelson. Calvin Johnson missed 4 seasons in the decade...

Well, if you agree that he wasn't as good with Chicago and GB, then you'd probably agree that he shouldn't be on the all-decade team, because he only played for Chicago and GB (minus a victory lap in Carolina at the end) in the 2010s.

I think when people think of Peppers as an all-pro, they almost entirely think of him in the 2000s

Idk, he's more of a Jerry Rice than a Randy Moss. And I have always been on the Moss side of that debate (not that there is a debate; everyone pretty much agrees Rice is the GOAT. I just disagree).

When I rate WRs I like bursts of extreme dominance over sustained success.

All that being said, I still think Larry's probably the 4th WR, it's just that the other 3 are obvious. I bet I'm forgetting someone though. But if I had to pick 1 WR for 1 game in the 2010s, it's probably peak Tyreek or peak Julio. Also, I can't help but think we're forgetting someone at WR. Moss and Owens are 2000s so it's not them.

Here's the top 20 WRs of years 2010-2019. I do love Jordy, but hard not to place at least Demaryius Thomas and A.J. Green in front of him on the snub list...

I don't care about total yards. It's better than nothing, but Demaryius just isn't above Jordy. I actually did think of him. He had a few good years but was garbage for many as well. I also thought about AJ Green. He's probably in the conversation, but not above Jordy or ODB or Tyreek Hill.

Actually, DeAndre Hopkins is the guy I was forgetting. He's above Jordy easily. And above Fitz and honestly above Megatron, at least for this decade.

None in the 50s unless you count Tunnell and Ford
13 in the 60s
None in the 70s
Lofton and Anderson in the 80s
Brett and Reggie in the 90s
Darren Sharper in the 00s
Rodgers in the 10s (not sure if you can count Peppers)

Huh? Comments?

I was looking at him, too, but deck stacked against him given he didn't get drafted until 2013. Hard to overlook what some of these other guys did for three seasons while he was still on campus.

Darren Sharper played for the Packers for 8 seasons starting in 1997. He was named to the NFL All-Decade Team for the 2000s. As a Packer he was first team All-pro once.

Q1: Based solely on Darren Sharper's performance as a Packer, should Darren Sharper be in the PACKERS HALL OF FAME?

Q2: What are the criteria for getting into the Packers Hall of Fame anyway?

1) I would say yes, but his crimes were so heinous that they'll never do it.

2) That is a very good question. :idn:
