Never fails. Compare white receivers to the standard list of white receivers. Just like the black teams are always "athletic".

Francioni is a real student of the game. Brings his lunch pail everyday.

And has deceptive speed.


He’s one of those scrappy, gym rat type guys. Invaluable

FTR, I'm not saying it's all Trey's fault. But if you look up "Great White Hope", you'll find his picture along side it.

Quinn was leading the nation in receptions in HS. I think there was reason to think he would be good. Once he left LSU he became one of the most productive WRs in CFB at SMU.

Not sure what any of that has to do with his color. Unless you're talking about purple and gold.

well of course. Don’t forget Jordy Nelson, Danny Amendola, Eric Decker, Brandon Stokley, Joe Jurevicius, and Don Beebe.

This sounds exactly like when a poster said Jaden Hill could be the next Kumar Rocker.

Just hilarious.

Why do so many people hate when white receivers are compared to other white receivers? Who do you want to compare the kid to, randy moss?

Looking forward to seeing the passing game this season. People just need to keep in mind we are really young this year.

Why do people think that's the only acceptable comparison?

I haven't seen this Francioni kid play but I guarantee there are at least dozens of black receivers you could compare him to. Is Randy Moss the only black wide receiver? This comment is as comically ignorant as the initial comparison.

The immediate rush to compare any white receiver to Wes Welker is hilarious to me, just like when a poster made the Jaden Hill/Kumar Rocker comparison. They're the same color--their skills must be comparable! You don't find that just a little funny?

I don't "hate" it, as you assume (unfairly). On the contrary, I actually love it.

Yep! Trey Quinn could have easily been the next Adam Humphries ; Hunter Renfrow at Clemson. QB Tahj Boyd was hyping Trey up at Spring Game. But he loved his home state LSU team

He did not drop ONE Pass HIS SOPHOMORE season ...7 / 7 catching...it was the drops his Freshman season. Got Lasik eye surgery & caught 114 passes at SMU.

Les dinosaur offense not only had Quinn leave ; but so did Tyron Johnson(NFL); John Diarse; Avery Peterson; Jazz Ferguson (NFL); Demonte Coxie(Memphis; projected NFL Pick in this Draft) and a few others

Easy to shite on whitey...he's already got a target on his back when LSU had not had a white WR for 13 years.

If WR wasn't loaded enough
special teams if that

Bech will be the one that can really help this team with his pass catching skills

Black QBs have been getting compared to the standard list of Black QBs for the last 20 years. Happens all the time on this site as well.

Quinn was at LSU at wrong time. Young qbs who default passes were to Dupre.
Quinn playing for Raiders now
