    If you are a receiver you are dependent on your quarterback for statistics. Tolliver never got enough passes and too many around his ankles. The lesson for wide receivers is to avoid schools with running quarterbacks.

    I'm no JJ fan but you can't bitch about not getting enough passes thrown your way when you don't catch the ones that are.

    He'll catch on somewhere and hopefully make the most of it.

    I don't think this year was a good year for WR's overall. I never thought Julio Jones was close to a top 10 pick, but since there were so few options he had to be taken so high.

    TT had soon-to-be NFL QBs throwing to him at the combine. Where those passes hitting him in the ankles? I suspect not.

    Face it. He hasn't done enough to impress the NFL scouts and the draft results showed it.

    Toliver has had issues for four years and all four years it was the same thing: hands of stone. I saw dozens of passes this year alone hit him in the hands chest-high, only to drop to the ground. No matter which QB threw him the ball (and there were about four of them over the course of his career) the result was the same. These same QBs threw to several players who made it into the NFL. Brandon LaFell didn't have those issues his senior year and this was a very weak class of receivers. You might have a point if Toliver was taken late, but he wasn't even taken at all, not even with a 7th round throw-away compensatory pick. If you were surprised that he wasn't drafted, then you simply didn't pay attention to his play at LSU.

    I bet he doesn't even make it out of training camp when it all starts back up...

    TT was also responsible for our QBs' poor numbers in '10. He dropped more than he caught.

    If you could consistently get the guy from the Florida game this season and the A&M game this season he would have been 1st round material.

    Pay attention to what I actually said, maybe. I said his stats were lowered because he did not have a passing quarterback throwing him a lot of passes. Which is true. Stone hands or not, he didn't get a lot of passes compared to starting receivers at schools with passing quarterbacks.
