Apologies if this topic has come and gone, but I'm looking for the Rant opinion on Rob Bolden's move to WR. From what I read, he was the most impressive WR in the initial spring practices, and at 6'4" and nearly 200 lbs, the guy should be a beast against any DBs. Also, he's a veteran in the system and knows all the plays. What am I missing?

You're missing the fact that he's a quarterback.

If he can catch passes consistently then he will play. We have no proven WRs

So was Randel el.....what's your point?

There's a laundry list of great players who have switched positions and excelled.

Ware and RR say sup

Why? I know it's 3 yrs later for him, but if he's a great athlete and totally understands coverages and holes in them, why woukdnt he be a solid receiver?

reports are that he catches really well. if he can be consistent, he'll play IMO. The returning receiver corp has a total of 9 catches total and that's dural.

some of the early reports sound promising, and given the group's inexperience, it's not incomprehensible that he makes some kind of mark. just seems unlikely with him just picking up the position in his 5th yr of college whereas a lot of these guys have been doing it a while.

I'm just in wait and see mode with this passing game. for as much as ppl talk about the QBs, I can't ever remember seeing a group of WRs that collectively hadn't done much of anything heading into the season. the talent is there obviously, but there's still a learning curve.

He will catch more passes than Shepherd caught or threw.

Define won't play?

Just wondering for the people who think hes gonna be "a beast", would u have said the same if Stephen Rivers got moved to reciever? I mean his 6'8 220 shouldnt he be able to dominate Dbs too? or is there some other factor involved cuz last time i checked pocket passers cant move to reciever.
