I believe Carter would certainly be a better option than the rest of those receivers they brought in. In fact, in retrospect I think Carter is probably a better option than Oronde was.
I've been pretty disappointed actually with Oronde's play this year. He was our 2nd WR in an offense that does not use 3-WR sets that often. This is Norv Turner's offense and we should know what a Norv offense looks like. But there have been some irregularities in the offense ever since the start of the season. The WRs haven't been upholding their load on the whole. Part of the problem was Oronde. In a season in which he should be getting 1000 yards and a good amount of catches with Norv at the helm, he's on pace for 43 catches and 600 yards....and in 6 games he doesn't have a SINGLE touchdown. The man's got talent. The best hands in football without a doubt (but for all that he still has 3 drops on the year). His lack of speed is well-documented but he's got a good feel for zones. I just feel that his talents were not being best utilized as the #2 man in Norv Turner's offense. He could probably go somewhere else and succeed, but I just don't feel like he's going to do it here. I think Norv really needs a guy with more speed to complement Chris Chambers...because Chambers is ready to be featured as a #1 WR possession type guy with game-breaking ability. We need the Albert Connell to this Michael Westbrook.
And if you don't think its Gadsden's fault, his production, the only other possibility is that its Fiedler's fault...
