What traits are you looking for in the new WR'S.

[Pox 08]

Ones that won't fug his Qbs wife.

 

 

 

That was the main trait that Wilson looked for in WRs, prior to his divorce.

[Paa Langfart]

I want a guy with the gift of being a great wr and attitude of Smitty.  We need an in your face guy on the offensive side of the ball.

[pstall]

Maybe wanting a OT to have a great line is buying into a myth of having to win the line of scrimmage. I bet the better teams are really good at short drops. It neutralizes a pass rush and protects the qb. Which is a benchmark of the true West Coast offense.

After: Speed, Size, Hands, Routes what more is left?

 

 

trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent

[DaveThePanther2008]

Other than size and speed..

I like hand size and route running. .

What more would you really need if you have a tall receiver that had great hands, runs good routes and is fast?

Pretty much nailed the perfect receiver.

Health, consistency, blocking ability, route running and ability to be a clutch performer.

Traits:

The biggest blackest dick. Oh never mind this is not crimes against humanity..........

Anywho, give me a time machine so I can retrieve a young smitty to put along side KB and watch the NFL explode.

Anyone can be taught to run great routes and to catch the ball. Truth is that speed and size are the only thing you can't coach. If Proehl can make Ginn into the weapon he did, he can teach anyone. But you either got speed or you don't. It is real simple.

Big hands can't be taught either..

True that.  Some things you need to have in order to excel at the game.  Other things can be taught. 

[thefuzz]

Brains, shiftiness, speed, hands.

 

 

Give me a smart one, who can understand why and how to run routes, who can make his body do things it shouldn't, and come down with the ball.

[Toundra]

Insane hands like Odell beckham jr.

Simply isn't true. Give me a football player over a track star any day of the week. You can make someone catch better, but you can't coach great hands. Beckham has enormous hands, it's not by coaching that he catches everything.

How many size/speed guys come into the league and flop?

Quarterback yes but not so much with wide receiver.  There are a lot of very productive receivers who are not exactly that bright.  Sure it helps and would be desirable but not necessary IMHO.
