Why was Olsen our deep threat last night?

[AceBoogie]

We don't know what the price was for Josh Gordon. And no one knows when he might get suspended.

We don't know when any player might get suspended, hurt for the year, or even die.

Have you seen him with weeden, hoyer, Campbell? He's worth way more then a mid 20's pick. We should have pulled the trigger and given up a first if that's all it would have taken.

 

Yes but timing is everything and your hindsight is 20/20. When he was available he was coming off discipline with limited production. I'm sure you were on board from the start, good for you. Many of us were on board for that WR Joe Adams and that wasted trade could have given us a better player like say a Keenan Allen.

About bringing da'rick in as a undrafted free agent, absolutely I was on board you'd be dumb not to be on board. Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away

[top dawg]

We missed out on a few ballers at WR this year, Keenan Allen being chief among them because we was arguably the most practical pick in round two for us. Josh Gordon could have been had for a lot cheaper if we had moved soon enough, but many failed to realize how good that he can be. I always suggested that he was worth a one (and I still believe it), but that's an opportunity lost now.  Da'Rick Rogers and guys like Marlon Brown could have been had on the cheap, and though I still question whether they have WR1 talent, I certainly believe that they can be solid WR2s with a little more time and experience.

 

All we can do now is look towards a reportedly "deep" draft class of WRs. There seem to be some ballers in it, but you never know. We'll be gambling come April.

Cleveland was not letting Gordon go for less than a first (they were offered a second and passed)...not sure where you think he could have been had for a low price.

I would offer a 1st and a 2nd for Josh Gordon and a player to boot

[Happy Panther]

In the past few games we have tested Ginn (Miami) and Lafell (can't recall exactly) as our deep threat and neither connected

[neverlosethefeeling]

He actually had good match ups last night and got behind the d a few times....Cam overthrew him.

Cam's deep ball was off last night.

 

To me it seems like Cam's deep ball has been off most of the year.

WR won't getting open, Olsen good match up in theory against DBs. Got open once on a seam route down the middle and Cam overthrew him.

[Ruff]

Not saying he is the answer, but King averaged like 26 yards per catch last season in college. He was the Georgia deep threat.

Also, it's hard to have a deep passing game when Byron bell gives up a sack in 2,0 seconds.

Cam's deep ball has been off a lot this year

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Cam did overthrow him but needs to work on a more catchable lob pass. He bypassed a wide open Lafell to throw a fade route of bounds to Ginn.

Somebody asked about him on the radio and Steve said "he's doing great" with a very sarcastic tone.

Cam and Ginn did connect against Tampa though. Lafell was Tampa too

King or Bell? lol.
