Is WR1 as Must-Have in RPO based offense?

[waldoputty]

Yes but his style of play is the only reason the offense was explosive. When you put a Dak in the offense it looks pedestrian. Given Dak does not have the experience but with Romo you never really felt out of the game.

i will take consistent over explosive if the explosive cannot be relied on.
the goal is to win it all, imo, instead of just being exciting failing to get there.

Without Romo how many of those winning seasons would have been 8-8 and how many of those 8-8 seasons would have been 4-12. I do believe consistency is key but Romo's last full season was not wasted because of his play but the rest of the team (defense) in the loss to GB.

Thompson ran a 4.27 and a 4.31. You should be more excited with the signing.

Can he catch the ball?

Can he catch the ball?

coming out of school, he had trouble catching and route running.
after a few years, he is apparently ok in both now.
not saying he is a wr1, but it seems he is decent.
also would be an ideal jetsweep guy given his speed and return experience.

you need an accurate QB that can lead the receivers away from the defenders.

On the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
Here we go, on the road again
Like a band of Gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turnin' our way
And our way is on the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again, break free
And I can't wait to get on the road again

One more time for Wiley and the Boys

the style of play lends itself to ultimate disaster when it counts.

ultimate disaster---now I think of the Final Countdown by the group Europe

dry popcorn it is - yum and lots off fiber

 

[OmerV]

we added thompson who has speed.
a speedy receiver with decent hands may not be a wr1 though.
prospects could be cheaper in fa or available later in the draft.

A speedy receiver doesn't have to be a #1 for the speed to matter.

Stretching the field is just one way to keep teams from crowding the box. More generally, we need WRs who can beat single coverage. Guys who can run routes and catch the ball can do that too.

The more ways your offense has to beat a defense the harder it gets for the defense to account for all possibilities.

Of course you need wrs who are able to beat single coverage. But it gets easier for them to do it when the field of play is bigger. And to make it bigger one possibility is to stretch it with a speed guy. If you dont have one the room your wrs have to create Separation is smaller and therefore they have to be more precise in route running and the qb has to be more precise in his Passes. The more precise you have to be the more it is possible to commit an error.

This is not - like the way you want to put it - a question of either or. It is a question complementing each other.
