Guys, Corey Can Be Our #1!

I absolutely hate when people refer to Olsen as our 1. If he was our 1 before KB got hurt,   then he is our 1 now.  He's a TE for crying out loud.  He's a very good one at that,  but he isn't our WR1.  

As for any WR not named Funchess (and I am seriously skeptical about that his rookie season), Lord help us.

The way I see #1 and #2 and #3, etc. is by the amount of targets. I include TEs in that, but you could choose not to. The #1 receiver on a team is the one who gets the most targets. KB led the team in targets with 24 more than Olsen last year, so in my eyes he is the #1. Olsen will probably lead the team in targets next year which would make him our #1. I'd guess Funchess after him then Brown then a tossup between Ginn, Cotch and Dickson even. Pretty worried about our passing attack this year. Going to have to really really hope Stew can play a whole season and our line can hold up.

All it's going to take is one of our guys to step up and the rest to do as well as they did last year and we will be fine.  Funchass coming in and doing no less than one might expect as a 2nd round rookie and I'll be happy.  If he does better than that it is just a bonus.

 

No need for doom and gloom yet.  I'll wait till the 2nd Monday after the bye week to start panicking.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
