Kealoha pilares the quiet secret weapon.

With his halfback background and everyman mentality i see Pilares making that push towards the second man behind steve smith. With his recent TC performances it's going to be even more exciting to see him during the preseason. I expect him to surprise alot of people he reminds me of wes welker with a mix of danny woodhead.

Hes just now getting his opportunity in TC and from what i've seen hes turning into a weapon every is keeping quiet about.

He caught 88 passes last season and 15 touchdowns for the warriors while returning punts and kickoffs. Yes the warrior offense is pass heavy but being able to catch 88 passes with 4 other receivers on the field battling for the ball is something special.

I don't see where all the "Kealoha pilares is steve smith" stuff is coming from. The guy made some nice catches yesterday but is far from a lock to make the team. With armanti locking down a spot,i would say that put pilares behind the 8 ball. Can we see one preseason game before crowning him the next agent 89?

Um... who said that? I said he reminds me of Smith, mainly referring to his size and quickness... I just want to know how he's doing in camp.

I think he will go on the IR with a mysterious injury, and not play a down for us this year.

I thought the same thing. Barnidge too. However, with Gettis's hamstring and knee....

I am going out on a limb. We will keep 6 WRs. Edwards, Pilares, lafell and possibly Naanee and Gettis have special teams possibilites. I see Pilares and Naanee as possible gunners. Lafell, Edwards, or Gettis as possible kick/punt returners. Makes more sense than keeping CJ Davis.

My take is this: If your backup OL can be kept on the PS (players like R. Pugh), then all you need at gametime is a player who can fill a spot in a pinch. Bernardeau can play center and both guards. Ziemba can play RT and possible RG, some say LT. Some teams do not have the luxury of keeping a reserve OL on the PS because they are older. Would you rather have Pugh + a roster spot or CJ Davis?

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
