are you serious? 74 of Graham's 99 receptions were first downs. That was the 2nd most in the league last year and he only had 5 drops.(thats 5 drops out of 104 targets!) Graham moves the ball at will and is clearly one of the leagues best possession weapons. *Colston had 55 first downs out of 80 receptions


Look, both Graham and Colston are studs, but I trust Colston to get that first down much more than Graham, especially the tough over the middle get your head taken off by the safety type. Jimmy does get a lot of firsts downs, but how many are of the crucial third and long variety, that is what I am talking about.

Link? Stats? evidence?

This would give me some confidence. I know he has one of the best forced fumble stats of WR.

That's because he did have a shite ton. Not sure what games he was watching.

People forget how awesome he played in 2009. 45 rec 722 yds and 9 tds. With ZERO drops!

Damn thats a pretty nice stat. If he can step up and play w/o Colston taking some of the Corners attention that'd be awesome. Next season will be fun to watch. Also, as fun as this debate is, WR is very low in my opinion of needs this offseason

Hopefully he is. I would love to see him step it up. I'd still like to draft or sign a big 6ft4 plus possession guy though.

Marvin McNutt is a guy i like. Or if we are looking for a big receiver how about Jeff Fuller, personally not a huge fan but is a pretty good and very big receiver 6'4" 223.

I had no idea Meach's hands were that sure. Hopefully he can maintain that production

Unless someone in a year heavy in quality WR free agents piles a large load of cash @ meach's door I think he can stay by rolling Hendersons money his way.

I think Colston falls the same way in that I don't think another team goes crazy with a offer.

But on the off chance we can't I think a one year solution would be Plax. Seems to be similar type. Color me crazy.
Does need better barrel control though.


Plax...Arrington...Meach...Lance...JG.

That eases my mind a whole hell of a lot. I agree that i don't see many throwing much more money than us at either of the two and that alone is enough.

I would be thrilled to see plax in black in gold being a fan of the guy myself. hopefully we don't have to worry about that. We will still be on top in offense regardless IMO.
