oh shit sorry Scott Free

I misread your post. I thought it said he's not big on receivers...missed the second big.

I don't see it. I just don't think he's the Steve Breaston of his rookie year. Think his knee injury made him damaged goods.

but cool, if he goes for 1000 yards than yay yay yay yay

I just think he's washed up.

Receivers are secondary to quarterbacks. Great QB's make it work whoever they are throwing to. Everything, really, is secondary to the QB, and Reid clearly gets that, which is why this is such a good hire.

Bowe and Maclin, with Breaston in the slot and DMC being whatevada**** DMC does. I have a feeling Reid is going to try his hand with DMC though.

Reid definitely has some weaknesses

doesn't run the ball enough
time clock management is suspect
not as good at the player personnel part as he is at coaching
doesn't seem to be able to take the 'next step' He isn't like marty shottenheimer but still

Lol...he's the Peoples Choice Coach/GM. When he fails...An-dy will...it's the fans fault. Point the finger at yourself.

I think it would probably take a 3 or better.

Meh. I'm indifferent about DMC. He's been handicapped with shitty QB's his entire career so maybe a good QB can make him effective...but he's still a midget and I still haven't seen anything other than a very rare occasional flash.

and he is a shit returner to boot

Actually, it's been shown that he runs the ball quite enough. Common misconception.

I actually like Wylie alot better.

why? He's no more valuable than Santonio Holmes. Difference being...Holmes was a cancer, Maclin is a health risk.

What did the Bears give for Marshall? Two 3rds? I doubt a WR in his last year of his contract that has a sketchy resume cluttered with missed games and health issues is worth much more than a conditional 5th...if he gets 1000 yards it can graduate to a 3rd. I'm ok with that.

He's also a former first rounder, who's only 24.

If he came for a fifth, ****, I'd do that in a HB.

and I also think Jamaal Charles is a better Brian Westbrook than Brian Westbrook and it seems like Reid's best years were when Westbrook was an absolute beast...

I also think Scott left us with an offensive line chalked full of potential, which helps.

If he did two things right it was offensive line and the incredibly, ridiculous AMAZING team friendly contract he got Charles to ink.

which is what everybody said about Santonio Holmes as well.

Me? Being the pessimist (and realist) I am about draft picks and 3rd round picks and lower...I'd do it for a 3rd in a heartbeat.

Worst case scenario? He gets injured again and doesn't pan out. At least he's a good locker room guy PLUS he's a local guy.

He runs the ball very effectively ie YPC etc is not the same as enough

There is a certain effect of running the ball regardless of yards gain that leads to a more productive offense ... less QB hits,more ToP etc.

throwing the ball even though you need to burn clock etc
