Now is the time for ALSHON

[saX man]

I see a bunch of talk about us being deep at WR but honestly, we're not.  We are average heavy.  Our crew is so nothing, it's not even worth talking about.  I'd take Miami's situation there over ours.  

Now, yes, we need safeties, CBs, DEs, TEs, OTs, FBs (and a kicker) but I still think WR is a need and trading for Jeffrey would light a fire under Mario Addison bunghole.

Stimey me cricken...I've got a liken for a wideout

I would rather get Torrie Smith, Alshon is another big slow receiver we don't need.

I cannot believe I am about to say this. I agree with @GoobyPls. Even though he is only halfish right. He is correct that we don't need Mr. Jeffries. As we don't need WR help this year, the Smith reference was a bit superfluous.  Hence, the part where he is not right.

 

Also, with all due respect Mr. OP, but the only 3 position groups you left out were QB, RB, and LB. Out of those groups. Who could you trade to get Alshon?

 

So I guess the only question remaining is; How is this Gman's fault?

We already have enough slow receivers that can barely get open. Having them run 20 yard routes every play doesn't help either.

Nah I'm right, your wrong. We have needed WR help since 2011 (especially a legit deep threat), but this front office has been hell bent on drafting defense and never signing free agent receivers for some odd reason.

Liar liar pants on fire. We have signed a poo ton of FA WRs.

 

In the last two years we have spent a 1st and a 2nd on WR. We have to give them time to develop. You don't rush to judgment on that high of a pick. Bringing in a vet disrupts that.

 

The past belongs in the past. And there is no reason why this years group of WRs cannot be effective. IMO, we have to wait until the Offense gets its act together, before we can truly judge what we have at WR.

 

Now if at the end of the year, we still have questions? Then let's address them at that time. Let's just not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

No we haven't, we sign receivers no other teams want.

 

That's two receivers in 6 years of drafting. That's last among NFL teams. And when you're second round receiver is getting out produced by 4th and 5th rounders and rookies, he might not be the answer. Usually the good receivers show flashes their first season.

Maybe George Lucas can digitize one up for us.

Alshon Jeffery has a huge catch radius, super hands, and can adjust to the ball in the air better than perhaps better any reveiver in the game. Any team needs that, especially us. 

The question with him is health, but when on the field, he is really an elite reveiver in the league, and his numbers prove it.

All that being said, everyone knows that we'll never get him.

What in the hell?

Not only was Funchess efficient on limited snaps last season, but he also put up around 120 yards on seven receptions and eight targets against the Bucs last season, and yet you deny he "flashed." And you keep erroneously referring to him as our WR2, as he has yet to get any consistent playing time in that role. Stop hating, and give the guy a fair assesment. He hasn't had the playing time, nor the focus of Cam, regardless of your observations and opinions.

Why would having alshon have an effect on Mario Addison? I don't follow.

Oh watch out he had 100 yards against the Bucs. You know who also has had 100 yard games Dave Gettis, Lafell, Philly ext....

I don't get swayed by one game. You are clearly avoiding the fact he is one the worst production per snaps WR in the league. Blame Cam, blame coaching, blame the scheme blame everyone but Funchess for all I care. Funchess is still that same question mark from Michigan that every UofM fan said "why isn't he better"
