Which receiver should start

[Davidson Deac II]

So you would rather have one catch for 15 yards opposed to two catches for 7 yards - both resulting in 3rd down conversions?

Number of catches are certainly important, but so is ypc. Right now, Jarrett is not a down field threat. Kenny Moore is playing the role of Steve Smith, and that will mean more long throws to him. Thats a role Jarrett can't play at all. It means Kenny is going to have more YPC but also will miss more passes, because the longer ones are just harder to catch.

As far as who I would rather see start, I would prefer someone who can both stretch the field (Moore) and someone who has good hands (Jarrett). Unfortunately, neither one of them can do both. So maybe its irrelevant who starts. Maybe we bring in Moore when we want the potential for something down the field, and Jarrett when we need 5 yards. Or maybe we just run with Moore, Barnidge, Smith, and King and to give us a couple of short yardage threats, along with two or maybe three who can get down the field.

Saw that Smitty practiced fully today. I hope we see him some on Sat night. I want to take a look at Moore and the other WR's when a defense has to worry about Smitty on one side.

I don't know, I think I rather him sit and coach up the other scrubs when they come off the field. Too risky imo...

Agreed. Don't want Smith seeing the field at all this weekend. Maybe next weekend for a few series, but thats about it.

Here are the attempts/completions for the receivers through the first two games. Put the names with the numbers:

1. 2/9 22% completion

2. 4/7 57% completion

3. 1/6 16% completion

4. 2/8 25% completion

And the answer NONE is not allowed!

With those kind of numbers i refuse to start any of the.

f**k this thread, f**k those statistics, f**k all these fake ass #4 recievers fighting to be #2, f**k McDonalds, f**k Walmart, f**k Chicago, Idaho, Ohio, and all the other states in the midwest (especially Wisconsin). f**k their cheese, f**k dairy all together (makes me gassy), f**k Bin Laden, f**k you communist tree huggin' p.e.t.a. jerkoffs (animals are for eating), f**k Lebron James, f**k the NBA, f**k the MLB, f**k every sport that ain't football, f**k soccer twice for trying to be football, rugby's cool, but f**k their jerseys.

With that being said. LaFell will start. If not it will be Jarrett then LaFell.

Now please no more "Who's gonna be our #2" threads. Just hop into one of the 50 other before hitting the new thread button.

I should have been more specific. I meant start opposite Smith. After all, that's what all these games are about right now. Basically, I see it as a contest between Jarrett and LaFell and based just on the two games played, I would say Jarrett.

I don't know, if you only play him the 3rd game it will give him time to rest up from any bumps/nicks going into week 1. Smitty hasn't seen any contact in a long time.

5. Gary Barnidge

Why not? Here are the 40 times I could find:

Jarret: 4.62

Lafell: 4.6

Barnidge: 4.63
