I'll always say it was a real pity that ego (mostly his) got in the way of a really good fit. The guy should have bought himself a house and settled in for the long haul. We made him a millionaire when many said he wasn't smart enough to play in the NFL We carried him until he caught on, and when he did, it was pretty damn good. I think he was the best pure receiver Favre ever had - as much potential physically as James Lofton if you ask me. Driver is the superior player, and Jennings might well get there, but I don't think either one of them has the physicals that Walker did. Unfortunately, he seems to be just another in a long line of very gifted athletes that just didn't have it right between their ears. Or who just couldn't choke back on their ego and be part of a real team. Strictly my opinion, mind you. Isn't Lofton coaching receivers now? With the Raiders?
