Top to bottom this an elite group of receivers (when healthy), especially if Gesicki is factored into the mix.

I think that's part of the problem. Some of think of the receiving group as elite level or very good if healthy, but then if they look average or have a hiccup here or there people get upset and start call for a human sacrifice. In reality they might not be as good as we think and when they look average it's because they are just average. Reember nationally the opinion if Miami has an upward ticking Parker and a bunch of blah place holder receivers who need to be replaced. I happen to like the receiving corp and think they could be effective not sure if any of them are in the team's long term plans. Williams could and should be if he returns from injury and improves on his early rookie season. While I'm a big Parker fan, remember he'll be 30 when Tua is in his 3rd season, so they might want to go with a receiving corp that's a little younger. Grant, Hurns, Wilson, Ford and Jennings could all be useful, but none seem to players you would have a real hard time replacing if you had to.
I’m gonna go check out some of Jakeems college play and see why he was able to set receiving records. I guess Mahomes was good then too.
I think Preston Williams makes them different than years past when it was just potential. From what I saw in that kid he seemed like a prototype starting WR, as opposed to all the guys who are physical specimens but for some reason don’t translate it. It took Parker 4 years. It took Preston 4 weeks.
Parker was a hall of famer the second half of last year, I couldn’t see his play falling off now if he’s healthy. Especially once the QB change is made.
Albert Wilson seemed to get his legs back in December.
We will see but sky’s the limit right now if no setbacks.
I don't see Parker fall off this year or the next, but I just think the team would prefer 23 or 24 year old version of Parker, someone who won't be 30 when Tua is moving past his early NFL growing stage. Then again sometimes it's good to have an experienced aging vet receiver to help mentor your young qb, but I'm not sure Parker is that type of vocal player. Not like a Larry Fitzgerald. The one good thing abould the Parker/Tua relationship is I don't expect Parker to be a diva type yelling at Tua all the time to target him as much as possible.
A lot depends on DVP continuing his man among boys routine, and Williams/Wilson returning to (close to) top form.Our wr are avg groups...it good enough get job done
