And? Jerry Rice has like 40 million career recieving yards, and I wouldn't want him as the 3rd, 4th or 5th WR on the team. Who cares what he did 2 or 3 years ago? That doesn't make him a good WR right NOW.
LOL, you wouldn't take Jerry Rice if he was 27?
See above. And have you seen him play at all? He dropped another TD pass today. WIde open, right in the hands... dropped. Yeah, that's what this team needs.
Of course I do.
I also saw him catch a 53 yard bomb from Vinny last year on one of his first plays as a Cowboy.
Oh, and he caught a TD today too. Which is, BTW, exactly what this team needs.
YOu've got to be kidding me. He's dropped a pass (at least 1) in every preseason game. That's overblown? Gimme a break. My best friend is a browns fan and he told me when we traded for him that he's gonna drop a lot of passes. It IS possible to gain 900 yards recieving and drop a lot of passes at the same time. The point is you want a RELIABLE WR out there.
THe point is you want someone who can get open in the first place.
Randal Williams never got a chance to drop 3000 passes because he was never ****** open.
Copper and Crowder are never going to drop as many balls as Quincy MOrgan because they are never going to get open near enough times to even get the ball thrown to them.
There are two sides to the WR equation - get open, catch ball. Morgan can stretch the field, open up the underneath routes for Witten and Key, and yes, occasionally actually catch the damn ball. There is no one else on this roster who can do that as effectively other than Terry Glenn, and its highly unlikely anyone is going to be released from someone else's roster who can.
Sorry, dems da breaks. Lets draft a WR next year so we don't have to do this again.
Great, he'll catch a 50 yarder every now and then, but he'll drop a few passes on third down as well. No thanks.
Um, ok, lets go with a bunch of WRs who dont even get open in the first place.
Much better idea, especially with Drew "Pat Pat Pat" Beldsoe behind center.
Actually Copper can catch better then Morgan, and he's a good special teams player. I'll take him over Morgan, that's for sure.
If Copper can't get open, who gives a snot how well he catches the ball?
Jermaine Copeland was copiously praised for how well he grabbed balls out of the air. Where is he now?
And for Crowder, he's just as fast (or faster) then Morgan, and he's a good special teams player. He's more useful as the #5 WR then Morgan as the #4 WR.
I'm sure defensive coordinators are waking up in cold sweats worrying about how they are going to defend against Crowder, who has a new position every other week.
How well he gets open and separates from DBs is irrelevant if he can't catch the ball. SUre he'll make a big play every now and then, but you need CONSISTENCY at the position. Morgan couldn't do anything to replace Glenn last year (even when healthy) and he wouldn't be able to do anything to help replace GLenn this year either. He's PROVEN in training camp and games that he can't consistently catch the ball. For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would want a WR on the team that can't catch the ball (consistently) and doesn't play special teams. As the #4 WR, he'd only get about 5 snaps a game. I'd rather use that spot on a good special teams player that has the POTENTIAL to contribute on offense.
And if Glenn goes down, you'd sure as **** rather have Quincy MOrgan stretching the field, actually managing to hang on to the occasional 50 yard bomb, and otherwise being a much better reciever than the likes of Copper or Crowder will ever be.
IN fact you'd probably be the guy *****ing that our receivers are *** because all Bill cares about is special teams.
And? I'm glad he's gone. He dropped way too many balls and was a cancer to the team. In football you have to have a certain degree of Chemistry to be successful, and Bryant KILLS chemistry. So he'll make a big play every now and then, but it won't offset the drops and the temper tantrums.
Wasn't necessarily directed at you.
