Baltimore, Chicago, Minny, Jags dont have much of a threat outside of Porter, Atlanta, San Fran possibly, Philly possibly... To say we have the worst recievers in the league is very wild. there are plenty of teams you can make that case for. Are we toward the bottom, eh, probably, are we the worst, I dont think so. We have alot of new changes coming for the position, how about playing 1 game before we decide the fate of our recieving core
Baltimore-
Derrick mason and Marck Clayton as starters
Demetrious Williams as a backup, Yamon Figures as a project
Basically what we have after that
Mason is a pro bowler with a 100 catches last year and Clayton has proven to be marginally better than Wilford. willaims adn hagan cancel each other out. Based on having a multi year probowler they have a better corp than us.
Jags-
Jerry Porter , Reggie williams, Dennis Northcut and Troy williamson
Just by shear numbers and experience they have a better corp.
Chicago-Brandon Loyd, marty Booker, Mark Bradley, Rashied Davis, Devin Hester and Earl Bennet. You could make an arguement that thiers is worse but they definately have more depth at this point. On paper our closest as far as weakest.
Atlanta-
Roddy white became a star last year over 80 catches from bad qbing,
Laurent Robinson was every bit as good as Ginn as a rookie with 37 catches, Joe Horn was injured alot.Michael Jenkins was better than any of our three last year. Atlanta clearly has a bettercorp than us,
Philly-
Kevin Curtis had 77 catches over a 1000 yards, Brown had 60 catches.
They have a more refined Ginn clone in Jackson, they also have Hank Baskett, GreG Lewis and Jason Avant. Thier corp is head and shoulders above ours.
San Francisco-
Bruce may be getting up there but he still had 55 catches last year,
Bryant Johnson was the receiver I wanted us to sign over Wilford and think he is a better overall option, Arnez battle had 50 receptions last year, Jason Hill is a fast promising draft picke that did not play much at all last year. and they have Ashly lelie. Not a great corp but slightly better than ours.
Minnesota
Berrian is definately much betterat this point to any one we have and had 70 catches last year. Sidney Rice had a similar season to Ginn and no reason to think either player is head and shoulders above the other. Then they have Robert Ferguson and Bobby Wade with Allison as a project. They are clearly ahead of us at this point.
I think maybe Chicago and Tennesee are the only teams that can even be closely as bad as us at receiver at this point.
