    here's half the reason Garcia is ranked so high; the other half is Lattimore obviously. I think Garcia completed over 65% of his passes last year although he will still throw a pick along the same timeliness as Brett Favre and thats something you cannot fix.

    But jeffery is unguardable and will make him look good regardless. they have the big 3 much like dallas cowboys of years past if garcia minimizes the crucial mistakes.



    so we go from having a bunch of overrated and underutilized WR's the last few years to an unknown group nationally. Thats a good sign because we have some dudes with a lot to prove.

    Everything pending on Jordan Jefferson. Will the real JJ please stand up. who knows, maybe Mett won't be needed.

    Maze is too high, Randle too low.

    he certainly is. Randle is about right with his paltry 33 catches all last year which was only 8 fewer than the team leader (toliver).

    now if we're talking talent and potential, thats another story as Randle is a natural.

    but he's got to prove it first....with that big pink elephant in the huddle who happens to line up behind center.

    I think Ware may be our most productive receiver.

    I think Fobbs is going to have a nice season, nothing spectacular, but a nice season.

    I honestly think that Randle blows up this year. Crowton was so damn worried about fooling everybody all the time that he refused to establish a go-to receiver. I think RR will fill that role nicely in CSK's offense by getting the touches that he so badly deserves.

    Based on his spring performance, I think that Wright will surprise a lot of people. He has come a long way.

    I also think that Peterson is the most talented TE in the conference. Dude's just an overgrown WR, which makes for a serious match-up advantage. If he had been able to play the entire season last year, this would probably be the consensus.

    He is the Jermichael Finley of college football, let's just hope he can live up to his potential. I think he can, dude is a huge physical receiver playing tight end.

    you have to have a consistent passing game for a TE to even be a minor factor. Let's not expect a team with 41, 33 and 33 for catches to suddenly be able to include a tight end. krag may improve things but unless Mett steps in and lights it up, its going to be a 13 for 21 159 yard type game as a typical stat line.

    I'll take whatever we can get, but I don't see Fobbs making much of an impact this year.

    Randle- obvious reasons
    Shep-I think his second yr at WR will be a lot more productive
    Wright-has showed flashes of brilliance
    Boone-smooth athlete, good hands
    Landry- great hands, tough, good after the catch

    Randle and Shep have a firm grasp on the top 2 spots IMO. Wright is probably next in line. Both Boone and Landry remind me of Early Doucet with their hands and run after the catch ability. Landry is as skilled of a WR as we have on this team.

    Watch for Fobbs in the slot.

    I'd be downright shocked if Jarvis Landry doesn't take someone's spot in the rotation. He's not an overly big or fast guy, but he might walk in with the best hands on the team, and watching him, he just seems to do everything right in regard to running routes and being where he's supposed to be. I realize it's high school, but sometimes, you just know.

    I had to pleasure of seeing RR play a lot and he has best in the nation type talent. We have to get away from needing a guy to be wide open to get him the ball. Let these guys show there talent. They practice catching balls in blanketed coverage. Let them do it in a game! Trust is the biggest issue in our passing game. I think JJ comes around this year. A good season at least gets him drafted.
