We all Know Jake Sux, But what about receivers?

[Mojoman]

Zero touchdowns by the wide receivers? Is Jake the ONLY problem with the passing game? Moose and Jarret are too slow, both in terms of speed and quickness to get any separation. Why does it seem that other teams find a way to sometimes get receivers to be 'wide open' and our guys rarely do?

Question 2: What ever happened to concept of putting Mike Goodson in as a slot receiver. I thought he was supposed to have good hands and be fast enough to be a down field threat? I would like to see Deangelo throw the ball occasionally too on an option play. Come on Fox, grow some balls and try something new.

I wonder if a team has ever gone an entire season without a WR scoring a TD?

[carolinanimal]

really when a wr is "wide ope" it is because of blown coverage. there have been times wr are wide open, but jake hasnt thrown to them. our wide recievers to dont seem to be open because when jake throws ot to them it is either over thrown, under thrown or shouldnt have been trhrown. also i dont think it is a issue of seperation either on moose or jarrett. they are posession type wrs, they wont ever beat you with speed. Many posters forget that Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin both are slower recievers but Larry is one the top WRs in the game. they use their body and route running to sheild defenders from the ball.

the only WRs we can talk about are Moose and Smith. Jarrett and Moore have even gotten enough reps to even consider them part of the group. But, going 95% of the time on passing plays w/ only Moose and Smith or just Smith on the field probably gives us the best chance to win per Fox.

As long as throw it up and let it be picked Delhomme is in there you will never see a WR score a TD. Yes is the answer to your question, it is all on the QB.

Of course there are problems with the receivers, but the main problem in the offense is undoubtedly Delhomme (and playcalling).

And we've actually thrown a decent number of passes DeAngelo's way, if I'm not mistaken. I think lining Goodson up in the slot would be a good call, and I'd like to see Rosario used more (perhaps even lining up wide).

thats simply a false statement, both fitzgerald and boldin have excellent speed and quickness..

[Carolinafan320]

other than Steve Smith, its true that our WR's suck..thats basicly why smitty is double covered every play of the game..teams arent threated by moose or jarrett..and that combined with jake passing it to them makes for not alot of completions and a rediculous passing game..

we need a qb who can pass the ball accurately with some velocity..

[Dpantherman]

yea our wide recievers suck. they overthrow and underthrow balls constantly and throw ints left, right, sideways, and diagonal.....wait. oh thats right, our WRs aren't throwing the ball.

do you know how many offensive snaps Smitty has been on the field w/ acutal WRs other than Moose?

do you know what eithers 40 times are? larry fitzgerald ran a 4.63 and anquan boldin ran a 4.7. that was the knock on him coming out.
