Sorry for partying
Marcus Mariota
He's catching passes from Aaron Rodgers. Nelson is at best a #2 receiver on any other team. Look at Eric Decker. 1300 yards and 11 TDS in 2013 catching passes from Peyton Manning to 960 yards and 5 TDs with Geno. My point is that Nelson is completely replaceable. There's only a few truly elite WRs in the NFL that you cannot just replace: Calvin Johnson, A.J. Green, and Julio Jones come to mind. I don't even think Nelson makes a current top 10 best WR list let alone the label of best receiver in the game.
You're talking about fumbles being some sort of measuring stick for WRs now? Nelson isn't even the best receiver on his team. Randall Cobb is way more valuable. I'm not sure why you linked to some blog - the three WRs I mentioned as being better than Nelson as ranked higher on that fine example of journalism. The International Business Times? You can do better brah.
Take Nelson off the Packers and his stats go bye bye.
Bryant, Megatron, Green, Jones, Demaryius Thomas, **** I can keep on going. They're all better than Nelson. Nelson is not the greatest person/reciever in the game. Why, because he works on a farm in the offseason? Maybe I'd have more respect if instead of making his family even more money he was using all that time (12+ hours a day) to help other more altruistic causes. ****, I know we hero worship farmers in this country but it's not like he's helping humanity here. He's putting more money in his family's pockets.
So, IK Enemkpali is looking for a new team.

I would take consistency in catching the ball over having my QB smoother a receiver in passes like Johnson. Obviously Johnson and Bryant bring something different to the table, but all things considered (on/off the field) I would take Nelson any day of the week. Consistency in the NFL if hard to come by.
