Will Steve Smith have a threat opposite him next year?

I wouldn't really agree that a Heisman trophy winner means they have a better NFL QB "pedigree," often quite the opposite IMO.

As others have told you over and over, you may be totally sold on Jimmy but other teams passed over him twice. There is no guarantee at all that they will be loyal to him in the future. With a new coach and system, they will likely bring in a veteran. For all that matter Clausen could be Weinke, given one year as a rookie and then not played at all when the new regime comes in. He was a heisman trophy winner which is a better pedigree than Clausen and you see how far that got him.

The only guarantee he has is to play well right out of the chute. What you seem to forget is that most teams that put rookies in and stick with them through thick and thin have a high draft pick and huge money already committed to him. A mid second round and 2 million a year is hardly a high commitment which forces you to stay with him.

After all we are paying Moore 3 million and he is riding the pines. If you think that we are going to stick with Clausen no matter how poorly he plays, you are deluded. In fact if he doesn't play well the next 2 games, you could see Moore back in there.

STILL about Moore? GOOD GOD, MAN, this is a thread about WRs and you still bring Moore up. You need to seek some help.

I'm in the minority here but I happen to think we are just fine at the receiver position.

We have two young guys that show a ton of potential and usually for WR the 2 or 3 year is their break out years!

Then we have Guy on the PS which I believe is an excellent WR and if he didn't stay hurt in OTA and Training Camp would be on the active roster.

You're not alone.

I think by year's end, we may not be worried about the receiver spot.

I think Gettis will emerge as the down field threat that will finally help Smith. LaFell will become a solid #2 next season but should make good contributions this year. They started putting Smitty in slot last week with these two.
