Is it just me, or does it seem like Terrance Toliver seem underated? I think he is an excellent receiver. As the updated statistics show, he is averaging 17.2 yards per catch and that is higher than Brandon Lafell and D-Byrd (14.2 yds/catch and 16 yards/catch). Now frankly, Lafell and Byrd both average out over Toliver in yards per game, but that is only because Toliver has had 5 catches all year! All I'm saying is, Toliver should get the ball a lot more because hes the next Lafell and Byrd. Some even say he is the next, you guys will probably kill me, Julio Jones.

Bottom line, Terrance should get more throws in his direction.

if Lee was smart he'd be looking for the big target more often to bail him out

Or if Lee would hit him while both of TT's feet are on the ground or in stride would be nice.

Dude is a player. We got no QB. He would be at least a 2nd round pick had a certain QB that is no long with us was actually still with us.

He will get his time. We are not in a position to spread the ball around, so everybody outside of Lafell, Byrd and Dickson won't get many passes.

all our WR are underrated because we don't have a reliable QB that can throw

I agree completley, Tolliver should be thrown the ball more. But remember we aren't around these players everyday in practice

Julio Jones

He definitely has the height and speed, but he needs to bulk up quite a bit more to draw a comparison to Jones. He is too light in the arse. Needs to be more physical to be a great receiver in the SEC

He can't throw it to himself, can he?

Toliver is a great player and not really underrated, but more underutilized. Partly because our QB sees three players apparently only unless the play is specifically called for them, and that's just recently moving up from 2 since Lee has realized that Byrd is actually eligible to catch a pass.

There were also words going around that Toliver had gotten in Les' doghouse, but who knows. In all honesty, you have the #1 WR recruit from his year getting 5 catches as a sophomore. I don't think that bodes well for Randle liking his options here sadly.

Obviously there's a reason that Lee doesn't throw a lot to Toliver. It could be that Lafell, Byrd and Mitchell are simply better at getting open. It could be that Toliver isn't as effective in the intermediate passing game as those guys. It could be that Lee is simply more comfortable throwing to Lafell and Byrd. Most likely, it's a combination of these factors.
