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

[KendrickPanther]

You might be right. But that doesn't make us a bad football team. We've had the worst ____ every year and yet we've only been the worst team when we had the worst Quarterback.

I love how people act like we don't have injuries at WR and how we should be 3 deep in starting WRs.  

[CoastalCat]

Name a worse duo?

Seahawks?

Rams?

Dolphins?

Browns?

Titans? (probably my pick for worst)

Chiefs?

[DeeJay]

Already bitching its not even after game 1

chiefs were pretty fuging bad last year. not one td was scored by a WR.

 

but they just acquired a stud in jeremy maclin.

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?

The Patriots like 2 years ago.  Seahawks won the chip without any real good receivers

I'm not trying to bring light on the loss of KB because really there is none.  It sucks.  But I'm at least intrigued they went with the speed of Ginn/Brown.  We know both these guys are really fast and they'll open up the entire field.  It's a gutsy call by the coaches.  Let's give these guys a chance

Carolina panther fans are the bigges. They make excwinnies in the league.

 

Name a bigger bunch of cry babys..

 

Do it.

Viking fans.  Trust me i live there.  They whine and complain about everything

[SCP]

Mike Shula doesn't know what the fug to do with good receivers anyway so it doesn't really matter who's out there.

[gorillamilitia13]

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.

I'd take Cooper/Crabtree duo any day over ours

somewhere in Heaven Al Davis is looking down on Carolina smiling and thinking, "Now, there is a team that gets it.  All you need is speed, baby".

I'm honestly perfectly happy with Ginn being our top receiver for a period. He's good and he earned it this offseason/preseason. I'm pretty upset about Brown being dubbed a starter despite absolutely not earning it. It wreaks of the same 'fait accompli' crap he pulled with Bell where he dubbed him the starter during the offseason no matter what, and there would be no actual competition for the job.

Brown has been our very worst WR thus far but was given the job anyway just because. Will it cost us games? Yes, probably, but Rivera has shown he is willing to lose games rather than change his mind.
