Norwood and Funch need to be a quick study

[Jmac]

No time to panic about the WR situation yet. I think with Norwood and Cotchery we have guys that are reliable. Add Funchess to the mix once he is ready. Ginn and Brown are the speed guys to keep a defense honest (at least the possibility of long completion).  There is no one avaiable that will be much help, and a trade will get us raped. Once they get Norwood and Funchess in the mix, we should be okay.

Stop saying nobody is available that could help, James Jones just scored two tds off the street. There are guys out there better than what we have.

With an organization and QB he is very familiar with.

I had posted that J Jones would help but many on here said he was old and done.

Jones had a signed contract with GB the minute he was released ... He wasnt going anywhere but back to GB

Can you please just shut the front door about James Jones already? I mean jesus christ. The dude was in Green Bay for YEARS working with the BEST QB IN THE NFL who is familiar with him and has an established relationship with.  It makes sense that he was able to come in and produce in an offense that he was FAMILIAR with that required a refresher. We traded for Norwood a few weeks ago and he's still trying to get up to speed with our offense. 

Also they have an offensive coordinator who isn't a fuging doorknob. So please AceBoogie, stop bitching like a 13 year old girl at a jewish sleep away camp.

Put Bersin's hands on Ted Ginn pls

[SOJA]

I called in November of last year we would reunite with Ginn this year

 

Here's my new bold prediction: LaFell is going to get cut in New England during the season and we're going to bring him back.

I was pleased with Cotchery yesterday. He already matched his touchdown total from last year in our first game.

Guys forget how to catch when they come here......(except for Cotchery this past Sunday).

There's no reason that shouldn't continue either.  Cotch is a good red zone target.  He knows what he's doing out there, and defenses tend to forget about him in the red zone.

I never once said we should have signed James Jones. I'm simply pointing out that we are quick to dismiss a guy as "done" and that isn't always true. If we cut Philly Brown today, how many teams would sign him? What about Ginn? Nobody would sign Ginn and if they did it would be to return kicks. Our whole WR group is made up of a bunch of guys nobody else wants.

James Jones wouldn't have mad a difference here, he's still a possession receiver. 

He went back to a team, offense, and quarterback he had several years of familiarity with, let a lone a playbook he already knows. 

If you thought he'd come here and be a number one off the bat you're delusional. He was let go by Green Bay two years ago, and Oakland cut him after one, and he only returned to Green Bay post injury to Nelson which left them twin at the position. 

Guys need to be patient and let Norwood, and Funchess get acclimated. It's gonna be funny when by mid-season and these guys have a level of comfort what the James Jones wanters will say...

I'd rather see two young receivers get meaningful reps to prepare us down the road, Jones would be a band-aid. Funchess, Norwood, and Benjamin upon return could be a very formidable group, it makes more sense to get those two involved than hope a 31 year old possession receiver can save our receiving group.

Never thought I'd see the day where I'd welcome this with open arms.
