Dwayne Jarrett (2nd Round Pick) in his best season (2009)

 

17 receptions for 196 yards, 10 first downs and 1 touchdown

I couldn't care less about how they stack up to those two. I'm more interested in how they compare to recently departed and other rookies around the league.

I'm amused that an undrafted guy has, in five games, surpassed what a highly drafted guy took five years to do.  And it probably won't be long before undrafted guy #2 passes him as well.

 

But just to add to the pot, here's another comparison...

 

Traded for Jay Cutler - Two first round picks, a third round pick and quarterback Kyle Orton.  Chicago also got Denver's fifth rounder.

 

Traded for Greg Olsen - One third round pick

thank you Mr. Scot. you are amazing.

 

David Gettis stats?

[chknwing]

kinda unfair to compare armani to him, he was forced into a different postition.

Good thread.

We will see benefits of Philly and Brenton for many years to come. Solid 2 and 3 in the making.

Bersin has worked his butt off, I wish him the best and I really hope you are right, but I get the feeling is Bersin is going to plateau soon. Hopefully that plateau is good enough to stick for a while because I really think its a great story.   Obviously I don't have the same insight as you so hopefully my gut is wrong.

More yards than Watkins?  That surprises me.

 

 

thank you Mr. Scot. you are amazing.

 

David Gettis stats?

 

I'm not that big a masochist

 

(Gettis was a source of some 'lively debate' here)

The ideal complement to a receiver like Benjamin is a speed guy that defenses have to worry about every time he touches the ball.

 

I had been thinking we'd need to try and pick that up next offseason, but if Brown can develop into that then we can go after other things.

 

[Darth Biscuit]

Those Armanti numbers are shocking when you consider what we gave up to get him.

 

Jarrett was a bust, but didn't look like a bad pick at the time.  Armanti was a head scratcher then and now.

Ok now let's compare our fourth and fifth recievers from last year to Brown and Bersin......

We had fourth and fifth receivers last year?
