Cotchery to Visit Monday!


*FreeFua*

Recommended Posts

Put this in perspective:

 

We're getting excited about a guy who had 10 TD catches last year, but only had 7 COMBINED in the 4 previous seasons. Had less yardage than LaFell and isn't as good of a blocker.

 

This is the state of our current expectations. We've been reduced to looking at Cotchery as a potential number one.

Come on man, why you gotta come in here and stomp all over the sand castle.

He's not a #1, but he can be our #2 in a pinch. We draft Cooks/Beckham/Matthews/whoever in the 1st Cotchery is fully capable of being a decent #2, even if he would be a stop-gap.

He played injured. You are flat out wrong. You aren't going to get 1000 yards from any receiver from Carolina by the way Carolina plays now. They are more clock management. Cotchrey is older, but can ACTUALLY CATCH.

The drop number from LaFell was 6. Same as Smitty. Our savior Nicks had 5. Edleman had 8. Decker had 7. This rhetoric about LaFell having bad hands needs to die. He wasn't perfect, but he made some outstanding catches last season for us. Did he fail to step up when Smith went down? He certainly did. There aren't a lot of number one WR in this league. And you certainly aren't going to find one in the picked over remains of every other team's discarded carcasses.

 

But I guess we have to hope that Greg Olsen catches for 1,200 yards and 10 TD next season or else our passing game is going to be fuged. It might be anyways.

 

Our GM is doing this building thing backwards. You don't take options away from a young QB developing into a star. You're kind of supposed to give him MORE options.

Cotchrey is a great fit for this team.

I think we all realize at this point our passing game depends mostly on how well we draft because if we have a true #1 WR it'll be a rookie.

 

But the sad reality of that is that if you're expecting a first year WR to be your number one, chances are good you're probably not a playoff team, much less a 12-4 team. Every year in the draft there might be ONE guy in the whole bunch that produces like a number one. That's being generous. Counting on finding that guy with a bottom first round pick is lunacy. WR is as much of a two year investment as QB in most cases. Rookie seasons of star caliber happen, but expecting one is begging for trouble.

 

Gettleman cut Smith out of spite. He wants to put his brand on this team. He's making it about him. We saw how long Smith lasted on the free agent market. It's a damn shame that our GM would throw away an entire season just to clear some salary and because he didn't have the foresight to extend a player that made himself damn near indispensable a few months later.
