Dave Gettleman has now mastered his latest magic trick: taking our entire receiving corps and making them disappear. Congrats!

[Jackofalltrades]

It's going to take real magic to field a competitive team this season.

You think we should have paid Lafell $11M?

sleight of hand buddy,

keep the audience focused somewhere else, than bam, the outstanding magic happens.

 

Or atleast that is what i am hoping, this FA is becoming depressing.

[MHS831]

A WR corps that was under 2000 yards collectively.  That will be tough to replace.

Nope. But we sure as hell should be paying somebody to catch passes and we're running out of options.

No. We are right to move on. 

 

I am actually pumped.  The unknown is much more inviting than what we had.  There are a lot of folks freaking out, but Gett will get it done.  He is simply waiting for the deals.

That's utter bullcrap and you know it.

This. I don't know that our WR's will be a huge step up from last year (once we sign/draft them) but it's not like we're losing an elite unit or anything. Smith being cut was more of an emotional gut punch than a huge hit to the production of our WR corp. Ginn and LaFell were way overpaid. Hixon barely played last year anyway.

 

I think all the "D.G. is in rebuilding mode" is off base for the team as a whole, but certainly not for the WR corp. We should be able to at least replicate last year's production from a few mid-level FA's and a 1st/2nd round rookie.

Under 2000 yards with a lackluster OC at the helm. I think Smitty had the right idea. The wide receivers were not the problem, Mike Shula was.

 

That being said, I think with a couple vet FAs, and a high round draft pick at wide out, along with Olsen and our backs, Cam can throw for over 4,000 again, It's just a matter of the OC drawing up pass plays that go for over 10 yards.

No I agree. Lafell was like the 80th pick in 2010. A good 2nd round WR pick and we have him replaced.

That was 100% on Shula's offensive philosophy. Unless Shula changes I would assume we're looking at even lower numbers. Possibly much lower.

[Judo Thoreau]

I still have high hopes that McKingNutt can at least replace LaFell's production.

[Rise of The Hive]

G Man has plan, right?
