maybe try out portis as our #1 WR? he's fast and can break tackles... and he doesn't drop any more than anyone else...

I want to see Sean Taylor line up as WR. I'd like to see it during a game we play Denver. ;)

We need to draft a true #1 WR this April. Then get rid of stone hands Gardner and let Coles be the #2. Coles will funtion much better as a #2 WR. The only problem there is that we payed Coles like he's Randy Moss so that could be a cap killer to have to bring in another high priced WR becasue we were wrong on Coles. Either way these WR's are clearly not good enough to take us where we want to go.

In no way were we wrong on Coles. Did you even see his first 5 games last year? He was a legitimate playmaker. Then he got hurt. He hasn't been the same since. To say we were wrong about his skills because of an unfortunate injury (after the fact) is utterly rediculous.

Apply that logic to everyone that has gotten injured and either played hurt or has been sitting out games (see Jansen, Jon; Arrington, Lavar; Barrows, Michael; Smoot, Fred; Daniels, Phillip; Bowen, Matt; Hall, John; etc.) then we'd be [b]wrong[/b] about half of the team! We weren't wrong about Coles but when people get hurt, they get hurt. I can't help but think that if you take away the injuries (especially the one to Jansen) and have PR starting at QB say around game 5 or 6 we have a completely different season.

yeah, coles was definately legit when we got him... and if he didn't get injured and PR stayed in, he could have been in the top three for receiving yards last year... injuries happen and he's been fairly average since :(
