It's been a month now and he hasn't seen the field as far as I know. Why is it taking this long to get him in the game? We haven't used Crayton like I thought we would, so where is Price? Just wondering.

Peerless Price stats for the year: 1 catch for -1 yards. I believe that was in the Commanders game. Bledsoe should have never thrown that one.

I was thinking the question was going to be "Does anyone know what he looks like?"

:D

I think Crayton is simply the better receiver right now. Combine that with the fact that Peerless doesn't add much on ST and there just isn't room for him on the active roster.

Can somebody tell me again why did we get him if he isnt going to play....

Same reason we got A Train. Insurance policy.

Would everyone quit with this insurance policy crap. As bad as our offense is you can't tell me there isn't a place for price. I agree with alot of others on here that think we should line up price and glenn and stretch the d. Price is good enough to contribute to this team but when you play with a conservative approach. Your not going to be able to see what he can bring. Bottom Line.

Is Price good enough?

Other than one year, he has been pretty average. I think people are mistakenly believing that the team signed some top shelf receiver in Price.

They do.....but your top four receivers include a guy named Witten.

Has any receiver in Atlanta ever looked better than average during the Vick era? You're lucky to get an average amount of catches on that team if your name isn't Crumpler. Last two years in Buffalo look pretty damn good to me.

Looks like a guy to me that improved some every year until he got stuck with a running back posing as a QB his last 2 years.

I won't argue with you on Vick.

He had one good year in Buffalo. 895 for 7 TDs wouldn't even have gotten him in the top 30 last year. Average numbers at best. Not superstar numbers by any means.

He is a nice complimentary receiver. Is he more talented than Glenn, Keyshawn, Crayton or Witten? I'd say no and right now, thats why he is inactive.

I would actually argue that if Witten were being utilized properly he would be getting so many snaps and catches that he'd NEED some plays off. That's when you bring in Price. Let him spell any of the receivers, for that matter.

Hey, you guys convince yourselves of whatever you want. I see a experienced guy that has gone over 1000 once.

A guy that is inactive because he isn't better than Keyshawn, Glenn, Witten and Crayton.

Average in my book.

I don't buy into this giving guys all this rest BS either.

Witten is 22, I think he can handle a full game.

How often did you see Emmitt getting breathers?

Good players want to and will be on the field for the bulk of the game.

He improved every year in Buffalo, period. You can disagree all you want but the numbers don't lie. More catches, yards and TD's every year. Witten isn't get benched regardless, he is our starting TE who had 80+ catches last year, so what he has to do with this is beyond me. Crayton has been OK thus far, and it's hard to judge Price when he doesn't get much PT. Time will tell I suppose.

Look for Peerless to get some decent playing time next week against Philly ( if he isnt hurt or something ).

He is alot better than what he was with Atlanta. He would probably be regarded as a top reciever if he never left Buffalo and Moulds' side. Heck the Bills may have been a top contender for the SB considering how good their defense has been the last 2 years ( 03 and 04 ).

Guys you have to understand. That some guys like Junk there doesn't understand the theory of creating mismatches and such. He thinks just because we do have 3 good wide recievers on our team there is no room for another one. if we would attack more on offense we could see what he brings us, but we all see how that has been so far.
