The problem is that Funchess isn't a #1 WR.

Exactly a #2. The thing to do is bring in another #2 - type; not an aging 3. At least smith "theoretically" gives us a speed option but I'd really rather have a solid, well rounded #2 that can run good routes and has great hands.

Being able to get open would be nice as well.  

Can't argue with that.

Ginn's best three years were in New Orleans and Carolina--he averaged about 720 yards each season.

Smith averaged about 920 yards in Baltimore until leaving for QB-less SF.   Even in SF, he had a season where he had 663 yards.  In Philly, they had a ton of WRs and a young QB.  He could not develop chemistry, so they moved him out.

In this system, the odds are that Smith will return to his 50-yard per game pace.  It will also loosen things up for Funchess and CMC, and it can be balanced with Samuel.  I think we draft a solid TE and we are probably set.  Not sure we draft a WR now--but we could.  Sheperd is upgraded a lot--Samuel and Byrd with be healthy. New TE for 2 TE sets--the weaponry is there.

RB and TE in draft; OG in free agency?

I dig the optimism. I hope you are right.

AbsoFINGlutely.  We have two burners on the roster already.  Should've just signed legit BAMF Allen Robinson and been set at WR for the next forever...

 

but this is why we can't have nice things.

Nah, it’s on my radar. I’m cautiously optimistic.

I hope Matt Kalil was on your radar when we signed him at this point last year, as he failed to produce in a much longer time period. 

he was/is

[dldove77]

I really think we try to get a friendlier deal done over the next few days. Probably two years 7.5-8 million with four guaranteed at signing. And if it doesn't get done we cut him. And it doesn't matter about Worley because he was probably gone anyway. 

There's a chance that neither of these guys is on the Eagles or Panthers to start the season. But I hope we get a deal done by next week.

Well, somebody wanted a trade. There you go.

I like Smith, but now who replaces Worley?

AROB will get 15-20 mil a year after Mike Evans contract now. He may end up in Seattle or in San Fran. Either way, he's going west.

I guess he "got off his %$#...and did something"

I don't think AROB gets more than Evans, especially coming off his injury.
