Maybe I'm looking at this wrong but I saw Philly as the small quick Wrs .. Who gets Yac and makes short passes big gains... 

He can run deep routes but also gets smoke screens and slant routes as well.. And maybe this is a plan not to show anything in the preseason and only run vanilla routes and we will see these plays in the regular season...

So I'm not giving up on Philly in that aspect ....

 

My problem with Philly is.. He needs to either be a better hands catcher.. So he snatching the ball out the air and ready to run after  catches.. Or countine you being a body catcher and be prepare to take hits going across the middle... I don't see the 2nd thing because he is always looking for a place to fall when he knows he is about to take a hit...  So he needs to improve his hands so he can reach his full potential.. He gets to much separation to always go to the ground after making a body catch...

He's just not that good.  He surprised last year simply by making the team and making a contribution, but our WR corps was trash overall and he had 21 catches for less than 300 yards.  Not sure why everyone wanted to rush to crown his ass after that.  Anytime you get anything out of a UDFA, you have to count yourself as fortunate, but it seemed like everyone wanted to pencil him in as our starting slot WR for the next decade.  Easy now...

Im not %100  sold on Brown either. PPersonally I'd like to see Boykin get some reps with the starters Fri.

I have no idea who I want to see getting the reps.  We just really, really need Funchess to get healthy ASAP and be able to be a legit threat because our WR corps is terrifying.

You and me both. I believe Boykin is a damn good underrated receiver. If anybody watched the Packers in 2013 when Cobb and Rodgers was hurt, he came in and put up some pretty good numbers for the season. He attacks the ball in the air better than Philly and is a bigger frame. I hope he gets reps with the ones Friday.

I think he has earned It.

Jarrett Boykin is better than Philly Brown. I wouldn't cut him just yet. I would put him on the practice squad.

 

Philly = Upgrade over Reggie Wayne at this point. He won't make it past waivers. If NE got him they would turn him into next Wes Welker IMO

 

I don't get why we are talking about PSing him instead of Spicoli Bersin

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.

      If you move Thielen I think you almost have to keep Renfrow. You need some sort of veteran presence in the locker room and Renfrow would be good insurance in the slot. I'm sure we have Coker penciled in to start there but you also have to be keeping Coker in the back of your head as XL insurance on the outside if he doesn't step up. If he flounders again, I wouldn't wait too awfully long to replace him with Coker outside and slide Renfrow into the slot and keep it moving.

      Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
