Wide Reciever ISSUES.

Whoa Whoa Whoa, Terrell Owens? Are you high?

 

Name a worse person to bring in to a young rebuilding team?

 

What the offense lacks is a play maker. But, seeing as you can't fix all of a 3-13 teams' problems in one year - we'll have to wait until next year to get our big time playmaker (be it WR or any other position)

This year - be happy with fixing our O-Line, going a long way to solidifying the new 3-4 LB group, collecting a good group of DBs (Dyson, Barrett, Miller, Strait and Rhodes, Coleman and Smith) and possibly finding our QB of the future.

Next year we must get that play maker - Adrian Peterson????

 

TO would add 2 years to our rebuilding process.

 

You obviously haven't been paying attention to the type of players the new regime is bringing in. Look for WR to be addressed next offseason with hardworking, team-oriented players.

 

This season we have Coles, JMac, Cotchery, Dwight, and Smith. Not great, but sufficient for a first year rebuilding season.

 

Vernon Davis won't be making any plays when Alex Smith is on his ass 2 seconds after the snap of the ball.

 

Some people are just so dazzled by the big "playmakers" they don't realize what enables these players to be "playmakers".
Our skill positions are pretty solid as long as our O-Line doesn't break down and feed our QBs to the lions.(not the Detroit Lions!)
Winning begins in the trenches and the running game on both sides of the ball. Everything else will come.

 

Coles isn't hurt. I am not a big fan of JMac so I won't really defend him here. Just because Cotchery is unproven doesn't mean he's not good. He's a young player who can definitely come out this season. Dwight is old, but still has some gas in the tank. Not bad for a 4th reciever and could be a deep threat.

Like I said, I'm not claiming that we have all stars here. But for the first year of a rebuilding team, it's not that horrible. It will be addressed next season.

 

5180 no doubt about it, I agree wqith you that our receivers are sorely lacking. There are others on this board who are way more optimistic than I. I hope those guys are right- jmac bounces back( I'll sooner meet jesus) Coles regains his form(Ive seen one season out of hiim to talk about) and cothery is the future(who knows). however theres no way the Jets were in the position to take vernon davis. This has been mentioned ad nauseum and it would have been ridiculous to draft a tight end with all the problems we have as jeterps said. You cant fix it all at once and we had to start at the O-line. Our receivers though I think are clearly now one of our weakest parts and hopefully they can be improved upon. I for one wouldnt mind seeing exactly what it would take to get Jerry Porter, even a 2nd rounder I'd be wiliing to do.

 

I can't believe people are still making posts like this. You don't bring in TO on a team in this condition. What more does the front office have to do to hammer it in that this team is in a rebuilding phase? And to those of you who fail to see that, I feel bad for you this season.
