re: Cam Cameron and the TALL recievers

Meh... not necessarily true. A bad QB doesnt always miss high or overthrow his WRs. If I had a QB that wasnt too good, I would rather have a WR like Jarvis that knows how to get open and is reliable than just a big WR. It makes the pass easier for the QB.

Taller WRs have their strengths and weaknesses. And shorter WRs have their strengths and weaknesses as well.

The hardest route for a DB to cover is the quick slant. Most of the time when you throw the quick slant, the QB puts the ball low and away from the DB, which makes it harder for the DB to make a play on the ball. Its harder for a 6'4+ guy to get down low and make that catch than it is for a 6'0 guy.

I just think how tall a WR is, is overrated. And very rarely do you have tall WRs in college that are polished and can run every route and make every catch. AJ Green comes to mind. He could do that. Ive said it since his JR year, but Dupre is the best WR prospect to come out since AJ and Julio Jones year. I believe he can be a polished WR and make every catch as well. Jordan Matthews was like this for Vandy as well.

But most of the tall guys at the college level are strictly deep ball / jump ball WRs. Mike Evans comes to mind. And he was great for TAMU because of how Manziel was basically a broken play QB guy and Evans would just take off. But we did a great job of taking Evans away because we took the deep ball away.

Height, size, and speed are fun things to look at. But it doesnt determine how good a player is on the field. If youre a 5'10 WR and can play, I want you. If youre a 6'5 WR and can play, i want you. All that matters is if you can play.
