****Our Wide Receivers Suck- Official Thread****

[Sofa King]

They can’t get open, they drop passes in their hands, their jet sweeps are slow and terrible. These guys are not good.

But hey…..who knows

Who is burying them?

They’ve disappointed through two games while other young WR across the league are showing out.

Nacua has basically equaled Moore’s career in two games.

Does anyone here actually think Nacua is more talented than Moore?

[BossChief]

If we are basing some hypothetical ranking of our WR group based on talent alone, we are probably in the middle third of the league. How high or low in that range is up for debate.

I honestly think that by December, this WR group will be ragweed’s as a top 10-12 unit…maybe a little higher if Toney can stay healthy and focused.

I think he's very good in the role McVay have him.

Key word: role.

Since everyone here wants to focus on the past, historically Andy Reid has made it difficult for young WR to succeed early on.

Absolutely.

[BossChief]

Are you guys seriously concerned these guys won’t figure it out together?

Really?

[Mecca]

Puka Nacua has almost equaled his entire senior year production in 2 games...

Sure. Then they get more as the year goes on if they’re playing well etc

But we can’t expect that to happen this year

What I find hilarious is the fact that they think the loss of Ju-Ju is more imapctiful than the defense looking like they've made a jump into a top 5 D.

If all you come away with after the first 2 weeks is that our WRs suck and will be our downfall, you're just a pessimistic whiny bitch.

And, Mahomes, and a top 5, D is a damn near unbeatable combination in the playoffs.

It’s odd how it happens for other franchises, but “the next DeAndre Hopkins”
Needs time.

That’s not a knock on Rice, it’s a knock on how he’s used.

Your anti Andy Reid bias is showing

One knows it's a totally disingenuous argument when you completely ignore Watson's existence.

Who was Mahomes throwing it to last season from November onward at WR who isn't there right now? Outside of JJSS, I'm waiting for your answer.

Because somebody’s gotta step into that spot. Until someone does you either have a hole or you have some guys playing above their responsibility. If your claim is that every WR is the same except juju, then the assumption is that skyy had to take on that role. And while he made a few big plays today there’s still plenty of question if he can consistently handle the target share. In half the games juju was getting 8+ targets which is a far cry from 2-3. And that’s WITH a healthy kelce.

Which again leads many of us to ask if we have all the right pieces outside of a primary target, but we still have to land that primary target.

Maybe you should go be a Rams fan bundle of sticks.

Sounds like a better fit for your taste.
