Shockey isnt the Shockey who was on the Giants, Steve Smith is up and down, also coming off a horrible year and isnt the usual 6 foot+ Wr what a QB relies on. Hes a glorified slot Wr. The line is garbage, his #2 Wr is Brandon Lafell, his #3 Wr was a Quarterback in college.
Olsen and Williams are good yes, but stewart is a career backup and decent. Theres a reason they have the #1 pick, its not just because they didnt have a qb....its because they dont have a good team. Not complicated
I probably should have said pretty good instead of great. Shockey is still good..I mean he is ahead of Olsen on the depth chart. Edwards isnt the #3, Naanee is. Steve Smith is a top 10 wr in the league when healthy. I cant comment on the line because I really don't know.
Main point is, when is the last time a top 5 qb pick in the NFL has had these types of weapons around him immediately? Jamarcus Russell, Gabbert, Bradford, Alex Smith, Brady Quinn.. I could go on and on about top QBs taken that have nowhere near as much talent as Cam has been given right away.
Another example is Mark Sanchez...gets credit for being better than he is (by some people) because of the team around him.
