Ah, waiting for some inside info...smart man.
I'm just going to wait for Enduro's take on this.
Without Landry... Our WR core is Crapola. Parker has yet to PROVE anything in REAL games. Stills is a deep threat receiver and that's it. Landry Completes this receiving core. He's the ONLY receiver that we have that you can throw a 5 yard pass to and turn it into a 50 yard gain with little to know blocking. He's the ONLY receiver we have the LB's and DB's have to consider his whereabouts in the running game or risk getting concussed. He's the ONLY receiver we have that brings energy and infuses that energy into the rest of the team.. Defense included.
To make it seem as though he's "Just a slot receiver" Is crazy. Is he a speedster that will run past a bunch of DB's or win Jump balls? Nope, but who says that's the only way to be a #1 Receiver. How many of those #1 receivers will take a 7 yard slant and make 8 people miss en route to a 60 yard gain? How many of those #1 Wr's will put a DB on their backs and excite the entire stadium? How many of those #1 WR's will drop the shoulder on a DB on the side line instead of going out of bounds and instantly increase the energy level of the entire team?
What he brings to this team is just as valuable as what " Insert # 1 Receiver Here" brings to their team. So why not pay him as such?
No **** from me, he's a #1 that works out the slot, big difference then a slot trying to be a #1I'm sure I'll catch some **** for this, but Doug Baldwin is a better and more versatile slot WR than Landry so Seattle doesn't have a need there.
I agree and I wasn't advocating the trade or value, just found the remark humorous that players of Landry's caliber can only be found in round one. Maybe that does pertain to us in someways, but it's not the case league wide
Mike Lombardi says multiple teams are still telling him the Dolphins are trying to trade Landry...
