Top 2 WRs in NFL: Roddy White and Brandon Lloyd

Smitty wasnt good enough to be in the top ten last year. Clausen or not.

yep

I will say that while Roddy White is good, anyone that doesn't put Andre Johnson/Fitz as #1/#2(order doesn't matter, as far as I'm concerned it's 1a and 1b) probably doesn't watch Texans/Cardinals games.

Fitzgerald isn't top 2 without Kurt Warner and Boldin. Johnson still takes #1 imo. Roddy White is a falcon and therefore can't be good.

Smith can't make anyones top 10 without a QB.

Fitzgerald put up 90 receptions, 1,137 yards, and 6 touchdowns with a quarterback situation comparable to ours. He runs the best routes and has the best hands in the NFL.

Andre and Fitz are 1a, 1b.

No he didn't. HUGE difference between Smitty working w/ a bum like Moore and complete slop in Clausen.

Smitty had decent production in 2010 and 2009 with Moore. Very good production actually. Non existant w/ Clausen. Fitz did not have a comparable QB as Clausen.

Best WRs in the NFL are Andre Johnson and Calvin Johnson. Some may have better seasons or get the ball more....but those two imo are the best.

The Cardinals had over 700 more passing yards then us. No experienced WR in the league had to go through what Smith did last year, or even the year before.

Smith hasn't really had much in his favor his whole career here, save the playaction/run game. He doesn't get many of the luxuries the other top 10 WRs do.

you guys realize who the Cardinals had at QB right? QB rating was a whole 3 points higher than ours(60 QB rating) with ONE more touchdown and two MORE interceptions.

they had Derek Anderson, Max Hall, John Skelton, and some random backup. Andre Johnson had Matt Schaub..

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
