D. Newton: Rivera is right. We don't need a number 1 WR. / OK, OK...

if your receiver isnt marvin harrison, jerry rice, or randy moss he's not a #1 receiver imo. Only receivers in the league right now i'll say should be called #1 would be A.J. Green, or  Dez bryant. A #1 receiver is a receiver that is a threat to score at any time, can block and can consistently get you a first down. If he's not that type of player then he's not what i call a #1.

Megatron? Fitz?

Greg Olsen is not a deep threat, nor is he going to take us to the promised land. If Greg Olsen and a wide-out corps like we had in 2013 is the best we ever have to offer, then we'll continue getting what we're getting. We fell short for a reason.

Right but you know what I mean. I'm just talking about labels.

i like megatron but i feel like he doesnt get in the endzone enough to be a #1. With his size speed, jumping i feel like he should put up more points but im probably alone in that. Same for Fitz but also i think fitz isnt a threat to score at any time because he's not as fast but he catches everything and can get you a 1st down almost at will so again thats just my personal opinion. I think a #1 should be a guy you have to account for on every play

^^^ Exhibit "A" of the morons who in September will be screaming about our offense not scoring 30 points, or Newton failing to throw for at least 300 yards.

 

Hatter is the President of the "Oh, we really don't need anymore talent on offense we should strengthen our defense" in the off season, and then come September, "I hold Newton responsible for this loss because he did not score 30 points on the Seattle Defense."

 

And if you had a working brain or reading comprehension skills you would have noticed I stated: "This nonsense that it is okay to have a glaring, gigantic hole at WR position and its okay to not TRY to fix it as best as possible within the cap and draft restraints we have-- is all kinds of stupid."

 

Please go play in traffic.

 

I am in the camp that defense wins games....we do not need to score 30 points a game.

 

If you have anything more than 3 synapses firing in that empty gourd of yours, you would underderstand that we throw the ball about 10 times to WR's a game.  We are not going to restructure a bunch of contracts to sign mediocre FA WR"s when we can get equal talent in the draft at a fraction of the cost.

 

We are fixing the cap situation and the team for long term success.  It is not my fault that you have the football understanding of a 9 yo prepubescent little girl.

 

Go slap your mom for raising such a fuging idiot.

i think we'll be fine as long as we get a solid group and a guy who can make plays here and there. Its hard to get a true #1. 

[Matthias]

Rivera:  Yeah we don't need a number one receiver.

 

 

 

Goodell: ...and with the 28th pick, the Carolina Panthers select Brandin Cooks, wide receiver out of Oregon State.

This^^

 

The FA's this year were NOT #1 WR's.

 

DJax can definitely be that guy, but the baggage and cost (wait and see the amount he is paid) do not make him a viable option.

 

I would rather take my chances in the deepest WR class in years than overspend for guys like:

 

Decker....had success as the #3 WR in Denver with a HOF QB and two better WR's.  He never saw double coverage and never was covered by the top 2 corners.

 

Nicks....very down year and injury issues.

 

James Jones....#3 WR who is much like Decker.

 

 

There were no guys on the WR FA market that are worth screwing up the cap any further for.

you think cooks is a #1 guy?

[Matthias]

He better be if we draft him at 28.

[UpstatePanther]

Teams don't need a #1 receiver, yet every year teams chomp at the bit to get a guy like Watkins or Green in the draft. If not needing #1, game-breaking receiver is a real thing, then we should be able to et Sammy Watkins, because he'll fall to us.

 

yes and how well does having #1 WRs help the cellar dwellers that are constantly in the top 10 picks of the draft? usually those receivers seem to go elsewhere before they start making much of an impact.

he's got hands and he's fast he's reminds me of a stronger  Djax/ weaker Smitty but with better hands than either. I think he'll stretch the field but he'll have trouble in the redzone because of his size.

You have to have a QB before you get a receiver. Guess what? We have a QB.

most superbowl winners have a group of guys and a playmaker tho. how many of those teams that draft a stud wideout get a ring or even go deep in the playoffs. most teams with star receivers fail to get a viable 2nd or 3rd option and teams basically take away their primary weapon in the playoffs. Like how the seahawks did smitty back in 2006. the teams that spread the ball more evenly go farther
