I'm not being pessimistic just realistic and stating facts based on history.

Look at the 2013 receivers for instance. We had a high powered offense with one of the top QBs in the conference. Who was our 5th receiver on the depth chart? James Wright? Q. Leslie? How much of an impact did those guys have? Wright never even made a catch that year. So now you think a sophomore QB led offense is going have 5 WRs make major contributions throughout the season?

Is this your first season watching a Les Miles coached football team? He has used the same formula every year. Play close to the vest on offense, rely heavily on the defense and take chances in special teams.

You're more than welcomed to get your hopes up and think our 4th and 5th WR will catch 20-30 balls this year but you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

Please point out where the frick in my post I stated that.

No a-hole. I'm 49 years old and have watched EVERY season intently since the early 70's.

How does that quote reconcile with the following?

Again... Where in the HELL did I say anything remotely like this??? YOU were the one who stated that we only complete maybe 10 passes per game. Stated it in a manner indicating that this year is going to be no different.

fricking IDIOT!!!

The stat lines for our receivers at the end of the season will probably look something like this:

WR1 60 rec 900 yds 8 TD
WR2 45 rec 700 yds 7 TD
WR3 20 rec 300 yds 3 TD
TE1 30 rec 300 yds 2 TD

While we are certainly stacked at WR.. it's going to be an intense competition for that WR3 spot between Diarse, Quinn, and Chark. My vote personally is for Quinn since his skill set varies the most from Dural and Dupre, but it'll be interesting to watch.

With Johnson on campus and Sullivan and Anderson committed (for now), we may see some transfers from the position next year.
