What would our record be right now if we signed a good WR during offseason

[WhiteBoysCanRun22]

There were quite a few great/noticeable WRs on free agency during the offseason such as Boldin, Marshall & even TO. What do you think our record would be right now if JR had not been so cheap & we had signed one of them? I say 4-5; would have upgraded our offense, cause less coverage on Smith & more passing.

You are completely nuts if you think a vet WR would add 3 more wins. With our QB play and horrible QB play, our record would still be 1-8.

[The Saltman]

1-8 Because Armanti would still be on the bench.

Yup. A WR aint worth sh1t if you cant get him the ball.

Look at 89.

I thought it would have made a difference early... but take a look at Cincy to see what happens when you think you're only a WR away from competing.

This team has way more issues than a vet would fix.

Signing a top 5 WR like TO would have helped, I don't know how much. You guys see how much he is beasting? He is literally keeping the Bengals in games all by himself.

I think we still would've been pretty awful. We dont have a QB that can get the ball to a WR properly. It isnt about the WR, though. It's mainly about the vet leadership that we're lacking. Some of us on here wanted to add a Vet QB during the offseason. If we did that, that could've probably tacked on a few more wins.

Now, I'm ready for Fox to go just like most people on this board are, but I think if this was a traditional John Fox team, then we could've very well been at .500 now. This season we're going through now, isnt due to the lack of a WR. We would've still been awful

DING DING DING!!! We have a winner!

[PhillyB]

we could have marshall, TO, and randy moss on this team and we'd still be 1-8 with this offensive line

Two of those aren't as good as advertised. TO on the other hand, he's playing like a grown man against boys.

You mean the 2-7 Bengals?

[TheRealDeal]

You mean the 2-7 Bengals?

Yes. Those Bengals. TO by himself is better than our whole receiving core. I didn't say we'd win more games, but we'd be better. You can't deny that. That guy is a stud and anyone who says otherwise is a pure hater.

[Delhommey]

So we'd be better but our record would be the same?

Exactly where does one pick up one's trophy for a moral victory?
