TMJ rated best WR

but lacking a star No. 1 WR will become very apparent very quickly.

Maybe.  It didn't in 2015.

All this potential is great but in reality we have a bottom 5 WR core. 

 

 

Really? I don't have a list of every receiving corp in front of me but bottom 5? Really?

My fear is we passed up on a true #1 in Hopkins because of hope in the young WR's. We are WR injury away from being in trouble at that position which is a concern given Chark injury history.

 

I just hope we know what we are doing at WR. Bryce is still a rookie it would be nice for him to have a sure handed WR who can bail him out like Hopkins can.

 

Mango better be ready to Tango!

Until you get a QB, all you have at WR is potential.  However, since potential suggests possible performance in the future, you can't rate them in the bottom five with no data, research, or justification.

Greg Olsen softened that blow. Don’t see an Olsen type on the roster.

TMJ has 3 targets or fewer in the vast majority of his games - he is a #3 with upside at best at the moment. Mingo is definitely not a #2 - he a rookie and could contribute something or could do nothing this year.

Hopefully Young can help elevate everyone but Chark really needs to stay healthy this year.

I took a quick look at the stats last night and my snap non analytical judgement was that by far DJ was the main target and then everyone else kinda got the leftovers distributed amongst them. Not sure if that was due to their ability or the mastermind heading up our offense last season.  Your point is valid but I do feel optimistic about TMJ at the moment.

I predict our passing offense will be closer to top 5 than bottom 5. 

TMJ is a potential beast! Mingo is a potential beast! Chark is a potential beast! Thielen "is not as good as [he] once was, but [he's] as good once as [he] ever was." (Shout-out to Toby Keith). Hurst has shown to be solid, and Tremble's potential is largely untapped. Bryce is exactly the guy to unlock the beastly potential in every one of them. Yeah, I may have the process blue-colored glasses on, but I believe what I believe and I know what I know...

One thing that people should remember this season and beyond: there is no Rhule requiring any receiver to suck!

In no way are we a bottom 5 WR team, as others have said, we might not have that #1, our depth at the position is outstanding.

 

Frankly we were one of the worst WR cores under Rhule. Reich should change that. But for now until we hit the field, our core is… challenged, to say the least. That’s where a smart QB comes in.

I am thinking that probably is not his fault.  Hard to judge the potential of receivers here the past 2-3 years with such poor QB play, coaching.

Nope just my nickname for him.

 

"Mango ready to Tango" I been using it since we drafted him.

I prefer “The Mingo ate your baby!”

As of this post I don’t think any receivers are superstars but as a group I think they can be sneaky-effective. If TMJ can translate some potential into production I think they will surprise.  

I could see them being like the 2015 unit. No big names but they all contribute.

And whoever sticks at #6 will be better than what we have had in the past.

With 5 spots basically already locked unless we go with 7 (which we just might if the coaching staff is mindful off the past), that final spot is basically between: 

Damiere Byrd, Shi Smith. 

I think CJ Saunders, Josh Vann and Marquez Stevenson are damn near already on PS. 

As far as Marshall, just give the man his snaps and he'll work. Tbh, I'm expecting Derek Brown-ish last season type ascension.

Elijah Moore was traded to the Browns for a second round pick. I highly doubt he’s in any sort of risk of not making the team. Use an accurate example next time buddy.

 

There is a rule around here. You can say anything you want. And if you get called out. You just ignore it and move on.

 

If you watch. It's mostly the ones trying to be negative that use this strategy. Being snarky is so much easier when you aren't worried about all those pesky facts.
