We're not going to consistently compete for the West without that kind of talent.

Don't get me wrong, I think Guice + Chark are going to have a monster years, and Davis + Anderson show a lot of promise. Moreau is a really good TE, and we've still got some beasts on the oline.

But damn we used to be able to roll in superior athlete after superior athlete. Our second team guys were better than most team's first string. Now ... not so much.


Guice is a better back than Addai. I don't think we lack skill position players other than QB's. We don't have prototypical tackles.
I think you're overstating the superior athlete depth. If that were true then Miles truly underperformed (which he did to a great extent).
Miles recruited good to great skill players but they wasted away in that pitiful, archaic, unimaginative scheme.
Canada changes that element. That's what this thread is about. Getting the ball to playmakers, keeping the defense honest and creating match up issues for the opposing D.

Maybe. Marginally. Addai was pretty damn good.

You think our WRs stack up to Bowe, Davis, Doucet, and LaFell? I don't.

Give some examples, please. Our backup RBs (Williams, Brosette) are average, at best. We only have one viable TE (Moreau). We some potential at WR (Davis, Anderson), I'll give you that, but the younger guys need to step up.

Offensive line is wrecked right now from injuries. No backup QB experience. If our starters are healthy, my concern is at WR. But what happens when our starters start going down isn't going to be pretty.
