I will easily accept that JJ is the most known and reliable of the current WRs we expect to be available for game 1.
This is what the posters have been saying pure and simple. This is what Koldo* said above. The consistent point, that you have continually twisted, is that with Aiyuk injured and the unknown of what he will look like when he returns, Jennings is our most proven, reliable, receiver on the team. Maybe one of the young guys steps up and proves otherwise this season, but there is simply no argument currently to suggest that any available WR on our roster is better than Jennings.
And precisely nobody, that I've seen at least, has suggested paying him like a #1 receiver, including GGG who was the one who suggested a 5 year extension. Maybe familiarize yourself with what #1 receivers, outside of players still on their rookie deals, are actually making.
