OBJ looks like he can stretch the field to me!

I DO get your point. It is nice to have the big target for the middle and red zone, the quick slot guy to work the underneath stuff like Welker does for New England, the sure-handed route runner possession guy to move the chains, the speed burner to stretch the field, etc.

C - size is not the issue. look at eagles with a bunch of small guys in nfl. we don't get open/separation enough and this is a function of route running and simple routes. its hard to beat the defenders on these flat and curl routes all the time.

Speed and size don't really matter if your either cannot catch the pass or you can't get open.
Our receivers have plentyu of speed and athleticism..
They just seem to run poor routes, the wrong routes or drop the ball.

I was not at the game, but it looked like Towson bit on two hitch and goes.
That is not a difficult route, and he was wide open.
The one good grade I DO give our WR's is on downfield blocking. At times that has been very good.
