We might upgrade Bowe. We might upgrade Avery. We might upgrade Jenkins. But I highly doubt that Dorsey and Reid are going to bolster our WR depth so much to the point of getting a better WR4 than Hemingway. And if they do, it will be after many years of drafting WRs. |

Also, Dexter was returning Kick off's for TDs long before Toub arrived. Toub most certainly helped, but he proved that he was a good return man prior to Toub's arrival. Yes, he carved out a niche role. Something Hemingway has yet to do. There isn't an argument to be had here. McCluster has been far more productive thus far in his career. There simply isn't an angle you can take to prove otherwise.

It's not sexy but it is effective. My problem is, he is rarely put in a position that ISN'T blocking. Also, where the hell do you get the idea that isn't quick enough to get open? He gets open the majority of the times he is asked to, the rest of the time he is blocking for a run/screen/swing pass. Check his 3 cone time. The only legitimate argument I have heard knocking him comes from Htis... the coaches aren't using him because he is limited in his knowledge of the offense. I'm just not sure I buy that but I have no proof against it. |

Best way to upgrade the back of your roster (guys like Hemingway) is to upgrade the front and push good players down, in my opinion.
However, you need guys like jr to do the things he does. |

But that's clearly not been the case given the dearth of receiving options on the team which have made it to the field over him.. Namely Hammond.

Of course dexter has been more productive, he was force fed balls for 3 plus years trying to prop up a pick. In terms of productivity, Hemingway hasn't had a chance to be as productive |

Where do i get the idea that he's not quick enough? Well he certainly wasn't a blazer coming out of college. His game is his size. Hemingway is a better blocker because of his size, no question. He's also much better at kick coverage. Outside of those two things, he hasn't done a damn thing to prove he's better than McCluster.

Ever consider that McCluster got his snaps because the coaches felt he deserved them? Or that maybe he EARNED his catches by getting open? The idea that coaches purposely hold players back on purpose is horrible. Some people just can't come to grips that McCluster wasn't as bad of a player as you want him to be.

The point of this thread is to answer WHY he isn't seeing more reps as a receiving threat when he clearly has good hands. He is actually getting plenty of snaps. He is 3rd on the team in offensive snaps among receivers. |
