Don't hold your breath for a WR claim today

[csx]

I"ll tell you who had worse wide receivers toward the end of the season. Speculating now is absurd.

[sharkkiller]

How exactly would you expect anyone to give you a list of teams with worse receivers when you have already convinced yourself that the Panthers have the worst? You will simply point out how they are unproven, or don't drop passes, or had a great year 4 years ago when they were a rookie, or whatever you choose to use to justify your stance. That is a no win proposition.

 

But I will give you one team I think is in worse or the same shape as us. And that is the Bears. They have Alshon Jeffry, Eddie Royal, a bunch of no names, and an injured rookie.

 

Go ahead and tell me why their receivers are better than ours.

[AceBoogie]

Have you EVER had one positive thought float through that head of yours?  If you have, you have never posted it here.

 

I had the Panthers winning the division at 10-6 before the KB injury. 

[csx]

The Jags, Raiders, and Titans had the worst last season. Looking at their depth charts I can see that the Jags and Titans are likely to stay at the bottom.

Alshon...end of discussion

The KB injury hurts but Olsen being a top 3 TE puts it to where we won't have the worse receiving core in total.

Our pure WR talent is pretty poo with KB down...with KB i think everyone was very excited...a dominant #1 really opens things up for the other guys. Funch looks pretty smooth out there but with his injuries is too much of an unknown...we've seen some drops and some great catches.

I'll give you the Browns

that's the biggest thing is that with KB down it changes how teams match up with us. 

[Mr. Scot]

exactly how I expected you to answer I'll still wait on that list. 

You're not getting it.

First off, I could easily give you someone like theTitans. But then you'll go back and talk about Harry Douglas like he's an all pro and Kendall Wright isn't an underachiever and Dorial Green-Beckham didn't have issues in camp and Justin Hunter isnt in danger of being cut and blah, blah, blah.

But again, there's more.

Do you know who Mario Alford, Myles White, Frankie Hammond, Darren Waller and Tyler Murphy are?  

I sincerely doubt you do without looking them up, so I'll tell you.  They're the lowest receivers on the depth charts of five other teams. You've likely never heard of any of them, and there are plenty more names like that to be found if you look around the NFL.

So what, you ask?

So their teams decided they'd rather have those guys than any of the guys on waivers or any of the available veterans.

Now to someone with enough understanding to actually look at the facts and comprehend the reality of our situation, this will be helpful in gaining perspective.

For you, probably nothing. But I'm used to that.

We're gonna Wait and See (tm) all the way to the Super Bowl!

What concerns me on WR is depth. We are 1-2 injuries away from not being able to field the position. I know we have the practice squad guys, but to bring them back up you have to deactivate someone.

[sharkkiller]

Alshon...end of discussion 

1 player does not make an entire squad. What about the rest? You said a worse group of receivers, not 1 big name receiver. 

[CarolinaSamurai]

Is there an unwritten rule that you don't poach players other teams want on the PS? Since the chance of being claimed off waivers is so low?

[Snake]

We are fine at WR. Olsen, Ginn, Funchess and Cotch (catching everything in pre season) good O line, we are set. This offense may finally be getting chemistry again post KB injury, no need to Fug it up with another WR. 

If our O line keeps balling out I predict that Cotch might even ALMOST match hhis 10 TD season in Pittsburgh. 

We are not FINE at WR but there is no one else out there worth a damn.
