Not much in potential receiver cuts

It sucks watching this team sputter at WR when I honestly feel like every other position is going full speed. What I saw last night was a turnover happy defense that could easily be the best with Star, KK and Big Money in the line up pass rushing and stuffing the run. On offense I saw production with CAP even without Kalil but what disturbs me is how none of the WR's stepped up to fill the huge void left by Benjamin. If Brown makes his catches and the DB's who dropped easy INT's grab them, we're winning the game by 10+ points easy. Some will say, oh Brady didn't have weapons so we have to disregard how the defense played but we were honestly missing more players than the Patriots.

 

Truth is I don't know who will be cut, but this is one of those times a bold move is needed to get this team over the hump. I can just imagine us finishing 10-6 up against the Seahawks again and losing because Corey "dickforhands" Brown drops the game winning catch wide open over Sherman.

Understand the concern re: WR and I am growingly considering the mind blowing idea that Getts might be willing to work a trade if this is really the only major weak link of the team, as is looking possible at the moment.

BUT, I have a question about what you wrote.  Do we have snap counts / number of targets for each WR?  If Cam didn't throw the ball to other open wide receivers, how could they step up?  I believe Corey Brown got the huge share of targets last night?  Can someone provide hard numbers of targets & snap counts for the WRs?

Why in the world would i want a one year "band--aid" if presented with an opportunity for a decent long term starter?

 

thats idiotic.

 

if Funchess isnt capable of supplanting him and taking his job as the number 2, then so be it. Then we'll have a deep options at WR, as every team in the year 2015 is actively working to do.

 

This isnt 1993 afterall.

Armon Binns

Ace Sanders

Da'Rick Rogers

Any of those three would be worth a look.

Has Binns even played any football the last 3 years? I can't find anything past 2012.

Sanders could possibly be worth a look, but we already have a similar WR in Byrd.

Rogers bouncing around from team to team combined with his legal troubles make his chances of interest on our part pretty minimal.

All in all, it's not a great time to be looking for a WR.

I'm just hoping Funchess can step up, but we shouldn't put too much pressure on him.
