Some players will still produce and dominate if left on an island they’ll get open and most QBs will get the ball to them. I mean OBJ had a bottom ten Qb am still looked good enough to get 2 firsts. But on the flip side you got moss with Walter/Brooks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I complied a list pre season and I had 16 #1 WR in the NFL. 16 sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie2Gunz Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Once again we have a bottom 3 WR core in the NFL and there are still homers saying it's all Carrs fault. Our only WR worth anything is Williams and he is a number 2 who is forced into the #1 slot #clueless 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be best with Watson, but he got his with scrubs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Randy Moss tried for the first 4 games in 2005. Then he realized that the team was terrible and gave up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got hurt in the San Diego game and that was that he was leading the nfl in YPC before that and then 2006 happened lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. #1 guys are rare in the NFL. They are guys who can separate from/produce against #1 corners consistently and win in a variety of ways. I don't know how many #1's there are in the game right now, but it's certainly a lot less than 32 (the number of teams with a "#1" option).

Kupp has played like a #1 so far this year but it takes more than 5 games to be labeled consistent. Landry hasn't been consistent for the Browns (11 games with 4 or less catches out of 21). That's a number 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should really use a different name because every team has a #1 option, nobody can agree on what it is we are talking about, and nobody's definition holds true all the time. Sorry but until someone can come up with a clear definition of the type a player we are discussing that most agree about we are not going to get anywhere in this discussion. Not saying it is your fault or anyone else's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
