Hate to keep bringing this up...

but last year the Bears had basically the same receivers and went 9-7, bringing in a pro-bowl QB will only help their production. When we went to the Super Bowl, we didn’t have a number 1 WR? And I’m tired off all this crap about how good Broncos receivers are, Brandon Marshall came into this league as a unheralded 4th round pick and Eddie Royal was a unheralded 2nd round pick, not exactly world beaters. And Driver needs to learn to shut up, one of the golden rules of professional athletes is to not insult your fellow athletes.

And on the defensive backfield look at it this way, I know players need to play for a defense to be good but we have talent back their and we also have great coaches, Jon Hoke is considered one of the better DB coaches in the NFL and when Lovie Smith was a defensive coordinator and position coach his specialty was DBs. I am of the opinion that you need to be put in the correct position to succeed and that these two guys can figure out that position.

There’s no guarantee that Hester will have better numbers than Driver. You may not like what he said, but his team philosophy is different because the Packers will not use a punt returner as their #1 guy. All dynasties may not have a pro bowl receiver, but they had great ones. Jay isn’t any different, he wanted Marshall because of his ability. Jay Cutler is not a savior, he is one player on a team. If you want maximum effort then pay for the rest of the pieces. There’s no way the Colts and Patriots are parting with their receivers unless they have another one.
All qbs want a #1 guy, that’s why Chad isn’t leaving Cincy-he’s a great player. so is Jennings. I wouldn’t use a punt returner as my #1 guy either. They can play the compliment role as needed, but not a primary role.

Jay is not a savior for the bears. He can only perform his job and that’s it. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady perform their jobs and they leave the rest to those receivers. They do their jobs well, that’s why their rivalry is so great.

There’s no need to be mad at Jennings for what he said…that’s not just his philosophy, but the nfl in general. Qbs want big time receivers and their all not the same. Marshall and Royal may not have been known to us, but Shanahan could tell they had ability that’s why he drafted them to pair with Jay.

Jennings is entitled to say whatever he likes…he’s not the only one that thinks that way. I don’t know of any team that created a dynasty that had a punt returner as their #1 guy.

What?

Did you mistake Greg Jennings for Donald Driver?

Dynasty?

Are you saying that just because Steve Smith and Santana Moss are not on “dynasties” that they are not great receivers? Both started out as returners, both are (or have been) legitimate #1’s in this league.

There are very few “dynasties” in the NFL. And there are even fewer returners thrown in to the role of #1 receivers. On top of that, how many of those returners had great QB’s like Indy and NE. This is a unique situation, so hold off before being so quick to judge.

I just wish there was a way

That we could end up with three 1,000 yard receivers and Cutler will have like 35 TDs. Do you think then people would shut up? Probably not, then it’d be like ‘But the receivers are TOO good.’ We can’t win…

by Sam Householder on Jul 20, 2009 11:11 AM CDT reply actions  

Maybe, Apples.

If there’s one position where you can win with average talent it’s the wide receiver. Most winning teams do so because of great Q.Bs great running backs, or great defenses. Please name me 1 team that ever won anything because the main piece was a receiver, I’ve got all day.

Not even the fishing?

It has to be good there… Right?

When I played I was a triple threat.... Stumble.... Fumble.....Grumble....

"Buyer Beware" article from espn.com

was very informative.

 I especially liked Lynch, talking of how he didn’t care for the broncos making Cutler out to be a bad guy.

Mackinaw fudge?
