    I'd be happy to see our passing game get back to what it was towards the end of the '06 season...

    That is my hope as well.

    However, the week of practices leading up to the All-star game he also had issues and didn't see the field much. QBs weren't a problem there but maybe a slump after dealing with QB issues all year.

    I think he has a chance to be a great one as he develops. He was a big play machine earlier in his HS days. In college he will have to become more of a possession type WR IMO. Doesn't have elite speed and fairly tall.

    Interesting. I wonder if the Patrick Peterson pedigree caused him to be a little overrated at first...
