B.Marshall still a stud or? (1 Viewer)

They will always try to get it to him in the endzone ,i say his value is skyrocketing.

Could be the best wide receiver on the planet. Seriously.

I don't think he's skyrocketing. I think what your getting right now, is what you can assume you'll be getting for the rest of the season. He's a playmaking WR but Orton isn't half the gun-slinger that Cutler was. Marshall's stats will show it, the 10 catch, 120 yard games are going to be few and far between. Orton is a game manager, not a playmaker.. he moves the chains effectively. I'd consider Marshall a high #2 option at WR for the rest of the season. I can see him averaging 6-7 catches 70-80 yds a game.

This was Orton's first game without the glove, and he was delivering the ball in much tighter windows. Just something to consider when you weigh the value of his receivers.

Agree with this. Marshall's big play this year came from a short pass that he snatched away from the a defender. He's always capable of making a long run after the catch, but the bombs he caught downfield from Cutler aren't going to be there now. He's still supremely talented and I'm glad to see he's a major target in the redzone, but his yardage totals are obviously going to take a dip.

What bombs from Cutler? Contrary to popular belief, Cutler and Marshall really struggled to connect on deep passes last season (He only had one reception of 40 yards or more in 2008).

Maybe not a deep bomb... but if there is some way to find out how many passes were 20+ yards, I'm going to guess it was quite a few. Orton isn't throwing 20+ yards per attempt.. probably somewhere along the lines of 8-12

Dont think I'd go that far, from what I've hear Andre Johnson is pretty good and I don't think he's gotten suspended by the team ever.
