D-Jax Big Possibility of Being Cut

[SuperJTheGreat]

D JAX WILL OPEN UP OUR OTHER WRs

 

 

 

[methodtoll]

The fact you had to list Steve Smith as an example of a "prototypical" WR along with the amazing likes of Golden Tate tells me that it's false.

Looking at the top 7 WRs last year in yards, it consisted of Josh Gordan (6'3"), Antonio Brown (5'10"), Calvin Johnson (6'5"), Demaryius Thomas (6'3"), A.J. Green (6'4"), Alshon Jeffrey (6'3"), and Andre Johnson (6'3"). The back end of this list contains a few short people (including D-Jax), but it looks like 6"3" is the sweet spot.

Top 10 in TDs? A few tall TEs, Dez Bryant (6'2"), Fitz (6'3"), and Brandon Marshall (6'4").

So no, the prototypical AMAZING WR is not Shorty McShorts. It's guys 6'2" and up.

All I am saying is that height isn't everything. I still will take deceptiveness and quickness and great hands over height. I could care less how tall the guy, if he has the qualities then I feel we will be a dangerous team to watch.

Spoiler alert: there's no such thing as a prototypical receiver unless you're making the TEs are receivers argument.

Actually, 6'2-6'4 is not prototypical in this generation of the NFL. Look around the league: Steve Smith, Wes Walker, DeSean Jackson, Golden Tate are your prototypical receivers now because teams rely on speed and shiftiness as opposed to a big possession receiver.

Size isn't everything and I understand Cam tends to over throw but to me deception and quickness> size, especially if a small guy has a high vertical.

You most certainly wrong sir. Completely wrong. The receivers you listed are not considered prototypical "in size" receivers. They are in fact very small...effective, but small.

Its  true that a big vertical can overcome a smaller wingspan but in a vertical passing offense like ours it would seem that size and height would be a distinct advantage. Obviously speed and quickness works no matter the other variables. In spread or west coast offenses or in the slot perhaps quick smaller guys give linebackers or safeties fits but as a number 1 WR playing on the outside against a bigger corner, I would think that guys like Walker or Jackson are clearly not prototypical or even desirable.  Smitty was always the exception to the rule rather than the rule.

Hate that we most likely end up getting him but it's that much worse when someone like him goes to a stacked team. Tired of seeing all these talented players joining already good teams.

I don't think of size as being a prototypical receiver these days. I feel that teams are trying to make the game faster by using shifty guys as oppose to tall, possession guys. Again, I could care less about height as I do about guys who get open and make plays, whether it is 5"10 or 6'4.

Prototypical as a word is useless without context. Thus this splendid debate.

[Chimera]

I'm not going to lie. Going into next year with our receiving corps as:

Jackson

Olsen

Cotchery

Underwood

Rookie receiver

We'd have one of the best receiving corps in the nfl. Good luck covering the different routes we could run.

problem is.....

Shula will still be our OC

[Jackofalltrades]

Someone showed a stat where Cam threw as many deep passes in '13 as he did in '12, but they just weren't caught. That's not on Shula.

[CPcavedweller]

Don't be a dick, we welcome fans of other teams. So far I'd take him and kick you to the curb.

Don't care. As a Panthers fan and Panthers fan only, I do not care care for Green Jets and dumpster fires. Cave dweller I am.

Jackson is not coming here end of story

It does help when your receivers actually catch the ball. Cam is not the definition of accurate. But I can't tell you how many "catchable" balls were dropped last year. Knowing cam is not as accurate as we would like...you need to increase the catch radius of your receivers....ie: tall, long arm receivers who can catch. Not midgets!
