According to ESPN Torry Holt would be a good pick-up for us....

[Zaximus]

Holt is a class guy and is excellent, but he would be too much and wouldn't be used. It's time to get Jarrett some touches. I'd even be as bold as saying let's let him play as the #2 WR. He's the future. He's caught everything through to him over the last season. If we don't soon let him play we're probably going to lose him. Much like how we are finally letting Marshall play as a starter, if we didn't he'd probably be gone.

I saw that yesterday on the 4pm broadcast. I thought, great now another stupid thread will get started...

No offense. Somebody had to do it.

[SorthNarolina]

We sign holt with robinson being our return specialist, that means jarrett gets deactivated for every game AGAIN

as good as holt is, signing expensive old dudes to take away playing time from the cheap, talented, young ones isn't going to get us very far

unless we get a completley new return specialst who plays defensive back I wouldn't want to get another WR right now

John Clayton on NFL Live, just said the Panthers are interested in Holt.

Again, "John Clayton said" was as far as you needed to go...

Actually he caught 52% of the passes thrown his way, dropped 1, and 47% went for first downs. Compare that to Moose who caught 60.2% of those thrown his way, dropped 8 and 42.6 went for first downs.

We haven't signed any FAs, what makes any of you think we will sign Holt?

[Mr. Scot]

Would like for us to sign? Da.

Believe we will sign? Nyet.

With the cap space we have, we won't sign anyone until either Pep is traded or someone gets a restuctured contract.

May I remind you that getting other receivers is pointless because Jake will not throw the ball to them anyway. Waste of time, waste of money.

so thats why moose had

REC 65, YDS 923, AVG 14.2, TDS 5.........just saying, get some facts straight before you blindly bash jake!!!! there is also a reason they call smith a primary reciever!!!!

[Davidson Deac II]

32% of Jake's passes went to Steve Smith. Thats not an excessive number. Our other receivers didn't get a lot of catches because we didn't throw the ball that much.

Good point. As you say, almost 70% of Jake's passes went to someone other than Steve Smith. If they want better numbers they can catch the ball and extend more drives which gets them more catches and increases Jake's confidence in them. I don't remember Ricky Proehl having a problem getting balls from Jake as a third receiver.

[littlebigman89]

Just another receiver Delhomme will TRY to throw to as he throws another pick. It's pointless. They have 3 receivers to divide passes to now and Delhomme shouldn't throw more than about 15 passes a game, so there's not enough passes to go around.
