He isn't going to get that with this bunch. If Kelly and Thomas don't up the ante this season, Shanny is going to have to draft a WR in the first two rounds next season.

You keep pimping those Philly WR's, is this what you're in love with?

Jackson: 62-1156-9
Maclin: 56-773-4
Avant: 41-587-3

I can think of a bunch of more productive groups than that, nothing wrong with that group don't get me wrong, I just don't get all the love for them.

I swear. Sometimes to me it feels like the only two positions to get any love from fans are receivers and the people who cover them. Ironic considering that both receivers and corners are the least involved non-special team positions on the field. This is opposed to positions like Centers and Nose Tackles who are involved on every single play.

I was looking over Wades stats and his fumbles and passes dropped are HUGH! I couldn't believe it and it shows that he got worse and worse as his career has gone on. He is supposed to be our next return man... I don't know!

Sure they were more productive, they were in a pass happy offense with an established coach/QB combo. I love Jackson don't get me wrong.

Very solid group that is only going to get better. Jackson was in his 2nd year and Mac was a rookie. Kelly and Thomas can't even stiff those numbers. Not saying it's all their fault but when we see other young guys getting it done then it makes me wonder. Hell Crabtree walked off the street and came in contributed right away. I like that we're bringing in some competition at wr.

Yeah you are right Jackson is just an average WR.?.?>?
He only had eight touchdowns of 50 yards-or-more which tied for an all time NFL league record.
Jackson was also the league's top punt returner in 2009 and was second in the league in yards per catch. Yes he finished with only 62 catches, but for 1,156 yards and nine receiving touchdowns. In all, Jackson scored 12 touchdowns last season.
Last year, Jackson became the first player in NFL history to be voted to the Pro Bowl at two different positions in the same year - wide receiver and returner.

Jackson is obviously not average, I never said that nor did I imply that.

I was talking about them as a group. GusFrerotte has been pumping them up a lot lately, I was just saying as a group I don't see where they live up to the hype he was giving them.
