oakdb36 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Of course we were fine. The top 3 guys (and even Jones has been good in his role) stepped up as planned and they signed 2 vets with starting experience to provide depth. The vets felt it was the end of their career to stay at the bottom of the depth chart with very limited opportunities so they asked for their release. Now we have a problem because one of the young WRs ruined his life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I don't lament either being gone. They're clearly not hot commodities, basically PS players. I'd rather have Stoner and Ateman, who actually want to be here and don't act like they're better than they actually are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree, it wasn't concerning when we did release them. And the way our WR group has played since the start of the season, we certainly haven't missed them either... up to this point. Plus if we do indeed pick up Jackson, I think he's better than either Brown or Snead anyway. That said, none of the three (or indeed Zay Jones) offer what Ruggs did for this offense. I just feel that we could maybe have done with Brown in particular in this situation. Of course he's not Ruggs, but I fear we'll be lacking a deep threat today which then impacts on guys like Renfrow and Waller being able to do their thing underneath. Really I know this is all conjecture, hindsight, etc and the whole thing is just a terrible situation. Hopefully if Jackson signs, he can stay healthy and at least offer some of the impact that Ruggs would have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 apparently they're waiting to see what happens with OBJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson is a shell of his former self Jackson compared to Ruggs is a better all-around receiver, while Ruggs is still quicker. Wasn't really commenting on ability, more their primary role in our offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at this point in their careers (prior to Ruggs flushing his down the toilet a few days back), Ruggs was better all round. Jackson is a decent enough replacement, though.

I think the whole reason why DeSean Jackson even left the Rams was because he wasn't getting enough PT. I don't think he would've came here if there was a chance that we would get Odell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodo Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Both have to be respected if nothing else and carry injury risk. Given the choice I'd prefer OBJ since he's younger and the upside is bigger if it works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
