To what purpose? We have under performing vets on our roster, MoMass and Cribbs. Don't give me that teach them how to win, how to practice BS. What are coaches for then? Face it guys, there were not great options available in FA and bringing in a guy like Dieon Branch isn't going to make our WRs all of sudden studs and catch the fucking ball.

To be fair to garçon he did only play in 2 games this year and he had 100 yards the first game in the first half alone. But I might be biased towards him since I know him personally lol. But I do agree he isn't worth the 40 mill.

It's more than that.....it gives your rookie QB a reliable target and a go to guy that he knows will make a play. Our best receiver on the team is also our running back.

I understand what you're getting at, but I disagree. Best hands is probably Trish or Obgyanananana. But our OC also sucks ass and doesnt put our offense or WRs in positions to succeed. OBR had a great article on this, I highly suggest you check it out. I think Norwood and Little have good hands and Gordon is an unknown. Little still sucks ass though lol. Also where the hell has Watson been this season? Smith has been injured, etc.... List goes on and on. Bottom line, player like Branch doesn't magically make our offense go when he get can't seperation, and Patty boy is calling 2 yd outs on 3rd and 9.

Patty Offense: Incomplete 15 yd pass first down. Run into a 9 man box for a yd on 2nd. 2 yd slant on 3rd down and then piss and moan at the media.

haha, yeah I know what you mean....Shurmur's offense is little to be desired, and I know defenses aren't worried about stopping us because of the terrible play calling and substitutions that this coaching staff makes.

Joe J sure made a world of difference for old Charlie Sheen (Derek Anderson) when he was there. Can ALWAYS use a reliable WR like that.

That's what I was getting at, having a guy that you know is going to be there and make a play. Look at what Luck is doing this season and the part Reggie Wayne is playing....Big Ben had Ward and Burress to rely on that 1st year, Newton last year had Smith to go to, Matt Ryan had Roddy White....the list goes on and on.

The "veteran" receivers we have, Momass and Cribbs aren't very reliable....Momass isn't healthy long enough to make a difference, and Cribbs is a return specialists that plays occasionally on offense.

If little would just catch the ball he would be fine, and Benjamin just needs to add some weight to his frame so he doesn't play one game sit 2 out, play 1 game sit 2 out, and Gordan looks like he is finally catching on how to play in the NFL.

Apologies if this was already mentioned but DQ, Dawson & Joe Thomas have made Richardson a captain this weekend due to the impression he's made on the team....WOW. Don't see rook's getting that type of honor often.

Which leads right into the thought that one would believe that we might have a few more "W's" over that timespan with a different leader.

Three underrated rookies
1. Browns T Mitchell Schwartz:He has proved to be a nice compliment to Joe Thomas on the other side.

2. Panthers DE Frank Alexander: This fourth-round pick has flashed some pass-rush ability.

3. Bucs LB Lavonte David: He was one of my favorites heading into the draft and he's done nothing to dispute that he's going to be a quality starter for a long time.
