Gallup has shown zero this offseason, no way he even makes the team. The wr dropoff after Terry is huge. Noah Brown is serviceable when healthy, but every catch is contested vs man. Deebo was sorely needed and our 2nd best option, I am glad they've been pushing him on td corner fades to develop his wr chops vs screens, etc. name another WR worthy of starting. You can't. And although Lane has some potential, he is sometimes in the wrong spot, he is a rookie, but against starters that could be a pick six. I would guess he's #4, but any separation with him is minimal. Anyone after them is replaceable. I wouldn't be surprised if they cut the rest and picked up a cut wr from another team. I am even starting to think McCafferty is at risk, he has done zero this off season, although he plays special teams well. Another hint is why are they playing kasmir allen at RB? Are they gonna keep 4 RB vs only 5WR? I mean it is possible, but probably not wise. We are really missing zacheus type. I frankly think we will get one soon. The ideal scenario is to swap Brob for a #4WR from another team to help us AND to block any chance he ends up on the cowboys.

Good and typically dense assessment. (Dense as in beefy, not lame-brained!) At his point I'm not worried about our RB room. I'm much less confident about our receiving corps, although I had an interesting experience with a bunch of Steelers fans in my family on Monday night.

They commented about McLaurin's "holdout" (or whatever we should call it now). My cousin and uncle both said that he has good hands and he's tough physically, but "why does he never seem to be really open?". And yet they both love KK.

We could use a Zacchaeus, or someone else dependable in the slot. And I hope Brown gets and stays healthy--I like his grit. If Lane steps up, we might be OK. I've never quite understood the McCafferty-mania. He is a 3rd(?) rounder who is NOT his brother.

But I'm not ready to give up on this season and offense if he doesn't play which is a real possibility. Hope he sees the field this year but really thinking he could sit out games or outside chance of getting traded. WCommandersfan99 08-21-2025, 12:06 AM JD5 is capable of winning multiple SBs. Honestly I believe that. This is the only reason I posted other great qbs doing it before to use them as examples. QB driven league not WR. Just wanted to mention this as some of seem to wonder why I cited that example. Back on topic hope Terry plays for us this season lol Hoglips 08-22-2025, 10:59 AM Gallup has shown zero this offseason, no way he even makes the team. The wr dropoff after Terry is huge.
