I dont think williams is a #1 wr but theres no shame in being a #2. most true #1 wrs need to be able to stretch the field and go deep which williams just cant do hes a possession/after the catch type wr

@Dave…I’m not going to argue that Blackmon seems elite. He does. I would love to have him as a Buc and if he fell to us we would probably take him but I think we’ll end up with Claiborne. I think we would take Blackmon over Richardson or at least I’d like to think we would if it came down to a choice between the two.

@Bobby:

Correct, Blackmon is a speed burner, but he stretches the field anyway, most big time “number 1s” do.

I agree with many others here, the number 1 is the guy running the routes correctly to get open. The guy not dropping the ball and instilling confidence in the QB.

When I said Fitzgerald, both Andre and Calvin Johnson, etc… were true number 1s, wht I really mean is they are true elite WRs.

Williams and Benn seem like they both can be very good but I don’t see either as elite.

Blackmon seems to be elite.

One guy like that makes the entire WR corps waaaaaaaayy better

Captain it is hard to beleive anything you ever say, whether its flip flopping your view completely, citing erronious sources, or generally acting like a db. You used to rip people for calling glazers cheap

Cmurda the good thing about the mccoy injury( s)is he is now out of arms to tear up.bizarre stuff.between him and price we got 2 biceps glued back in place and 1hammy/hip connection stapled together.our medical staff should be getting supplies at michaels.although promising its no wonder our eun stopping and qb pressure from inside suffered.

There is nothing wrong with using the terms #1 and #2 for receivers. Being a #1 quality refers to the kind of receivers that most usually bring everything to the table. Size, route running, downfield threat ability, amazing hands, acrobatic catches, leaping ability, ability to find soft spots on a defense etc.

Mike Williams is not a #1 material, because he gets easily overwhelmed in press coverage and has never been a reliable catcher of the ball. He sure does make some acrobatic grabs, but he has way way more drops than spectacular catches.

Benn physically is a superior athlete and could accomplish more number of the things a #1 receiver offers, but he must be mentally slow to not grasp the playbook after 2 years and also has the dropsie syndrome.

So basically we have a possession (#2) receiver in MW and a talented project in Benn.

Gentlemen, Lets not get suicidal, Lets see what the new coaches can do to instill confidence back into the lot of players. The had it up to the forth game. I wish I new what happened behind the closed doors of one buc. If they can get happy and trust each other we can have a good season. Go Bucs.

Wow, Jimmy Raye is on our staff?! lmao. Did Schiano know that he failed with the Bucs already back in 80′s? He was our OC during the heart of the horrible creamsicle years (’85-’86). Did a horrible job.

Let’s pray he’s not our OC.

I believe that Schiano will need a 2 year grace-period bc he has a TON of work to do to coach the RahRah out of these players. It is like trying to train wild animals to be domestic animals – they can’t live with structure overnight.

LOLOLOLOLOL!!! May be Thomas' best work yet.

Unless Winslow is gone we don’t need a TE this year. Stocker & k2 are fine. There are bigger needs in Shiano’s first year.

Screw this.

Let’s just trade for Bill Belicheck. Gruden 2.2.

Something like 8 spots filled today?

620WDAE.com doesn’t specify the positions as assigned, but its not too bad a list. The coordinators will make or break things.
