re: For All The "I Dont Understand Why We Need Another Small WR" Posters...

Speed is all relative, given the player's other measurables.
DGB's 4.49 at 6'5" 236lbs makes his skills more functional than Dorsett's, in my eyes. Sure PD can run 4.29 but the size is a draw back.
getting off the line, catching balls in traffic, winning 50/50 balls are all problems smaller WRs have.
Sometimes those extra 2-3" & 10-15lbs are more important than a tenth of a second in the 40.
On another note, I dont understand why people all of a sudden want to count on Ben Watson, or Nick Toon, or some of the other guys on the bottom of our depth chart.
I mean we all hope Seantavious Jones or Coleman can help us out, but to include them on reliable big body guys is just retarded. Ben Watson is going to be 35, the other guys don't have an NFL catch between them, and Nick Toon has NEVER been reliable.

i concur. i'll be happy if we get one of the toons, colemans, jones of the world to contribute modestly to the team. I'm done with Watson, hope we get a better TE 2 option. I've been done with him since he wanted to pray to jesus in a middle of a sideline brawl last year.

They're being included as our #4 and #5 targets

I hate it when I agree with Lester. He is 100% correct here though. Welcome to the winning team, LE.

The list was not reliable big bodies and reliable speedsters. It was a list of all the big bodies and all the speedsters that could potentially be relied upon in receiver/te positions.
To this point we have two proven big bodies with two guys who have shown some potential and two more guys who may have some potential.
On the flip side we have one proven speedster with one guy who has shown some potential but it always hurt/in trouble and one guy who may have some potential. You could add in one more proven part time guy.
The numbers say we are better off with the big body guys.
