Unless a premier wide receiver falls to us in the 2nd round,which may be doubtful,we may be better off going the free agency route.

Personally,I think that with 2011 having so much uncertainty, John Fox only being around because of this situation, and also wanting to see our team do something this year, that we would be better served getting 2-3 free agents wide receivers.

If we make a trade for Vincent Jackson, pick up Chris Chambers and Kevin Walters or Lance Moore, we would be set for a long time!

If we traded for Jackson and picked up Chris Chambers, and then were fortunate enough to be in a position to draft Thomas, then this would be an even better sceniro.

Vincent Jackson is great but there's no reason to trade all our picks away for him and then turn around and give him a huge contract. Not when there are so many other options that can be had easier and cheaper. Breaston, Lance Moore, Hixon, Shipley, Tate, Gilyard just to name a few.

And Chambers is a terrible idea, especially if we keep Moose. How many ancient WRs do we need on the team. Imagine if Smitty got hurt and then we're lining up Moose and Chambers LOL

Just looked up the FA WRs and noticed there are some very good options at TE also. Owen Daniels and Tony Scheffler will both be FAs. I don't think TE is a big need but either of them would be an upgrade over any TE we have so if we can get them for fairly cheap then why not.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
