It has only been one pre-season game. And, the Dolphins quarterback rotation has been anything but stable. But this receiving corps is a major problem.
Honestly, after looking at 2 plus years of Hagan and four seasons of Wilford's body of work, neither is reliable and certainly not "explosive."
You could argue that Hagan is about to emerge, and hopefully he will. But the kid has dropped a ton of balls at Arizona State and in his first two years. He is what he is. A bad player. Maybe he can get stats on a bad team. But he is not the answer on a good team.
Wilford is slow and unreliable. He is good for 40 catches. Backup type.
So who starts? We need Ginn to emerge. Unlike Hagan, he has excellent hands. He has good straight line speed, but he needs some more wiggle and to improve his route running. Sparano says he needs to play fast before he catches the ball. But he starts and hopefully he can turn himself into a solid number 2 receiver.
I guess for now, you start Hagan and Ginn and bring Kircus and Wilford off the bench. Bess as the 5th receiver.
But if Kircus keeps playing tough and Hagan remains inconsistent, I'd give Kircus more opportunity.
And Fasano needs to make himself more available in the passing game in view of the poor receiving corps.
