I see a bunch of talk about us being deep at WR but honestly, we're not.  We are average heavy.  Our crew is so nothing, it's not even worth talking about.  I'd take Miami's situation there over ours.  

Now, yes, we need safeties, CBs, DEs, TEs, OTs, FBs (and a kicker) but I still think WR is a need and trading for Jeffrey would light a fire under Mario Addison bunghole.

Stimey me cricken...I've got a liken for a wideout

I cannot believe I am about to say this. I agree with @GoobyPls. Even though he is only halfish right. He is correct that we don't need Mr. Jeffries. As we don't need WR help this year, the Smith reference was a bit superfluous.  Hence, the part where he is not right.

 

Also, with all due respect Mr. OP, but the only 3 position groups you left out were QB, RB, and LB. Out of those groups. Who could you trade to get Alshon?

 

So I guess the only question remaining is; How is this Gman's fault?

Nah I'm right, your wrong. We have needed WR help since 2011 (especially a legit deep threat), but this front office has been hell bent on drafting defense and never signing free agent receivers for some odd reason.

Liar liar pants on fire. We have signed a poo ton of FA WRs.

 

In the last two years we have spent a 1st and a 2nd on WR. We have to give them time to develop. You don't rush to judgment on that high of a pick. Bringing in a vet disrupts that.

 

The past belongs in the past. And there is no reason why this years group of WRs cannot be effective. IMO, we have to wait until the Offense gets its act together, before we can truly judge what we have at WR.

 

Now if at the end of the year, we still have questions? Then let's address them at that time. Let's just not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

No we haven't, we sign receivers no other teams want.

 

That's two receivers in 6 years of drafting. That's last among NFL teams. And when you're second round receiver is getting out produced by 4th and 5th rounders and rookies, he might not be the answer. Usually the good receivers show flashes their first season.

Alshon Jeffery has a huge catch radius, super hands, and can adjust to the ball in the air better than perhaps better any reveiver in the game. Any team needs that, especially us. 

The question with him is health, but when on the field, he is really an elite reveiver in the league, and his numbers prove it.

All that being said, everyone knows that we'll never get him.

Not only was Funchess efficient on limited snaps last season, but he also put up around 120 yards on seven receptions and eight targets against the Bucs last season, and yet you deny he "flashed." And you keep erroneously referring to him as our WR2, as he has yet to get any consistent playing time in that role. Stop hating, and give the guy a fair assesment. He hasn't had the playing time, nor the focus of Cam, regardless of your observations and opinions.

Oh watch out he had 100 yards against the Bucs. You know who also has had 100 yard games Dave Gettis, Lafell, Philly ext....

I don't get swayed by one game. You are clearly avoiding the fact he is one the worst production per snaps WR in the league. Blame Cam, blame coaching, blame the scheme blame everyone but Funchess for all I care. Funchess is still that same question mark from Michigan that every UofM fan said "why isn't he better"

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      By amcoolio · Posted

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
