Philly Brown and Ted Ginn Jr are the worst starting receiver tandem in the league...

I think this is undisputed. How many teams can you think of that made significant playoff runs while having the worst receivers in football? Not just bad, but 32nd out of 32?

 

I'm not hating on either of them, neither should have been cut. But we're starting the equivalent of 4th and 5th receivers from other team's squads as our 1 and 2 and it's just Week 1. Just how bad can this thing get if Ginn goes out there and breaks an ankle in the 3rd quarter?

Raiders aren't that much better off either. Michael Crabtree, who had a good year in 2012, but has otherwise been nothing to tell mom about in his career. Then Amari Cooper, who was great in college, but unproven as of yet as he is just a rookie. Things aren't looking great for Oakland either, folks.


We're not in a great spot, but let's not act like we're doomed.

you would take brown/ginn over two proven 1000-yard receivers?



Yep. I think Brown/Ginn CAN put up those kind of numbers. They've just been relegated to #3,4,5 spots on the depth chart, so they haven't put up the numbers. Harry Douglas only had his 1,000 yard season when he was finally put in a starting spot. Keep that in mind...

I feel like calling anything "Undisputed" before the first snap of the first regular season game is just reaching for shock value.  "oh hell he said it was undisputed I better get my sky-holding gloves on".  

Of course it's not undisputed before there is a single metric...and even then calling a single position or position group "best" or "worst" in a game where every position on the field impacts every other position is highly debatable.

For that matter when did teams start using only two receivers?  

I swear...people will bitch about anything.

    • Same their fans were talking so much trash to is, it feels like they had it coming. 
    • I honestly wasn't even planning to watch the UNC bowl game but given that it's cold and rainy and what else is there to do? I guess I'll throw it in the background while I get stuff done in the garage.
    • I say this to my friends a lot lately. Most coaches have a shelf life. ESP in hockey, coaches hardly make it 5 years. Only the pens and bolts coaches have longer tenure. I think the leafs coach is around the same time as rod. The average life span of an NHL coach is 2.2 years, I had to Google it. With consistent playoff flame outs and this year, it’s getting time to really consider if Rod should be our coach. Florida won the Presidents trophy one year and fired their coach midway through the next year then proceed to lose in the cup finals and win it the next year. Rod has been a godsend for us. Took us out of being basement dwellers but think this is far as he can go. Unfortunately this cheap ass organization isn’t helping either. Maybe Waddell saw something and that’s why he left for a worse team.   I think Rod has lost the team. His style is taxing and clearly guys aren’t playing it on the ice.  They are playing a super soft version of it which is worse than playing any other way. I said last year that the canes should consider switching from man defense to zone. We don’t have the players to play man, esp this year. They are small and the big guys like KK, Svech, Burns, are playing soft and small. I don’t know, it’s just not fun to watch like it was the past 4 years.  Our game threads would light up each game with excitement. Hell I used to be Mr Positive all the time. That’s even gone. Something in that organization needs to change.
