Cotchery's Situation

So I'm already starting to see a lot of depth chart speculation and there's some mixed opinion on Jerricho and thought this would generate some conversation. 

 

 

Now last season, Avant began it as the shiftier 3rd option for us outside of Cotchery and Benjamin.  We had guys banged up early, then Phill and Bersin looked respectable early.  Brown had a 7-66 game week 3.   We cut Avant after it looked like Philly provided adequate support in this department/and/or for other reasons.  The WR structure from there on out was Benjamin-Cotchery with Brown.  Bersin was the 4th option.  So my question is how do things roll out for Jerricho?

 

The given:

 

WR1-2

Benjamin

Funchess

 

Slot/3

Ginn/Brown?

 

4-6 Competition

Cotchery/Boykin/Hill/Bersin

 

PS

Byrd/Presley/etc.

So..how are you reading this receiving corps?  Is he worth keeping or would you have it so we could see what we get out of Boykin/Hill? Or is this something we kinda figure out in preseason?

He may be kept as a veteran presence but I don't anticipate him getting much playing time at all. Won't be higher than 4 on the current depth chart. Wouldn't be surprised if he's cut though. Just have to wait and see.

We are keeping 6 WRs max. The Vin Towers start. Keeping Ginn and Brown to run go routes. Boykin plays Special Teams, so he stays. Last spot is between Hill and Cotchery. If Hill has improved, he's the guy. Sorry Jerricho, it's not your spot to win, it's Hill's to lose.

Considering that Hill couldn't even crack the 53 with the WR corp that Carolina had last year, I'd say it's nowhere near his job to lose.

It probably is. The #6 WR usually doesn't dress on gameday anyway, that's why I lean toward Hill right now. It may very well shake out differently in camp, but until then, that's how I see it. Keep Hill to either suit up or keep working on things. More upside with him than Cotch.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
