Which NFL team has the worst group of WRs? (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

Lots of excellent choices here, but I have to go with the Rams. This has to be one of the most pathetic receiving corps I've seen in quite some time. Donny Avery, Keenan Burton, Laurent Robinson, Derek Stanley, Tim Carter, Brooks Foster, Travis Brown.....

WHO?!?!?!

Anyone expecting a bounce-back year from Bulger needs to tell me how it's supposed to happen with that group of WRs.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

worse than the raiders?

Bottom 5

Titans

[Raider Nation]

worse than the raiders?

Photo finish, but yes.

 

[raidergil]

Overall I don't know. Raiders certainly have better TE but Avery is better than any WR the Raiders have.

 

[benm3218]

The Titans man. I would LOVE to have Laurent Robinson on my team.

 

[Donnybrook]

Atlanta should be on the list especially if Roddy White doesn't show up.  

 

[Raider Nation]

Atlanta should be on the list especially if Roddy White doesn't show up.

For the purposes of the poll, I had to assume he'll be there. White and Jenkins are good enough to keep Atlanta off the list.

 

[Raider Nation]

Seriously though, is it just me or are there an amazing number of teams with total garbage at WR???

It hasn't always been this way, so what changed?

 

[Mister CIA]

Titan receivers are freakishly unimpressive.

 

[EBF]

Tennessee, Oakland, or Miami.

 

[Level 3 Offenders]

5- Bears

4- Raiders

3- Titans

2- Giants

1(worst)- Rams

 

[Frenchy Fuqua]

Other.

Believeland.

 

[Raider Nation]

Tennessee is killing it in here. Let me give them a quick peek.

Nate Washington

Justin Gage

Kenny Britt

Lavelle Hawkins

Paul Williams

Chris Davis

Mark Jones

Dominique Edison

I see lots of young potential there, but yes... there is certainly the possibility of major suckage.

 

[doubletrouble]

WOW....no Dallas Cowboys...they have to be close to the top

 

[money.never.sleeps]

WOW....no Dallas Cowboys...they have to be close to the top

Scary how fast people forget what Roy Williams CAN do.. Not saying he will but raw skill.. not many that are much better.Crayton can'T catch anything but he's servicable when he does.. and I like Austin. Guess Im reaching with all of these comments but I do not believe Dallas is anywhere close to the top on a "crappy" WR list.

 

[gonzobill5]

I have to agree here. If we are going by name recognition, then sure St. Louis or Tennessee is probably the worst. But if we are going by how they've produced on the field recently, Cleveland or Dallas would get my vote.

What can he do exactly? If you are referring to his output in 06, I can only assume you think Mike Furrey is going to enjoy a bounce back year as well. There wasn't a more pathetic excuse for a football player in 2008 than Roy E - and as an Eagles fan, I loved it!

He joined a team mid season.. gimme a break.. you roll with a #1 WR who throws the ball backwards before he gets in the end zone... and a QB who uses the race card more than his "barf bag".. Just sayin

Let's stick to the facts: 10 games

42 targets

19 catches

10 ypr

1 TD

Don't try to sugarcoat it, that just plain sucks. You said he has "raw skill." If he has so much raw skill, what does a midseason trade have to do with it? That's what happens when you let the owners make the football decisions.

Tennessee is killing it in here. Let me give them a quick peek.Nate Washington Justin Gage Kenny Britt Lavelle Hawkins Paul Williams Chris Davis Mark Jones Dominique Edison I see lots of young potential there, but yes... there is certainly the possibility of major suckage.

I have to agree if we're limiting our conversation to WRs. I like Gage as a #2, but they have no #1 WR.

 

[FUBAR]

let's take a quick look at the options

Baltimore

Chicago

Jacksonville

Kansas City

Miami

Minnesota

N.Y. Giants

N.Y. Jets

Oakland

San Francisco

Saint Louis

Tampa Bay

Tennessee

Washington

Out of these, I'll strike KC, Jets, Washingon and Tampa just because they have a legit #1.

Then, just to be fair as to opportunity for the current WRs to show what they have, strike teams that have lost their #1 recently: Baltimore, Giants

Leaving:

Chicago

Jacksonville

Miami

Minnesota

Oakland

San Francisco

Saint Louis

Tennessee

It's more than coincidental that if you were to list the worst QBs in the league last year, these teams would be among that list, except Miami.

To answer your question though, IMO the bottom 5 are Tennesse, Chicago, Oakland, Miami, and until Crabtree shows, SF.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

MIAMI

 

[5-ish Finkle]

If Mason doesn't "unretire"(has he done that yet?), then it's Baltimore.

Dallas should be one of the choices ahead of Balt, KC, Minny, Wash

 

[benm3218]

Wrong. Again man I would like to have Mark Clayton. Watch a few Titans games and think about who our receivers our. Baltimore is better than TN

Your opinion. I don't see Clayton as anything remotely that fantastic.

Right, I agree an opinion. But, Mark Clayton has WR1 potential.

 

[runner06]

Went with Oakland, although you could make a strong case for Tennessee

Overall, a very good list although the Chiefs don't deserve to be on it and Cleveland probably does.

 

[Adebisi]

It's pretty silly to bring Dallas into this conversation on any level of seriousness.

[Matt Waldman]

Tennessee is killing it in here. Let me give them a quick peek.Nate Washington: THIS is their BIG free agent signing? Seriously, he's what I call a "bully" player. When he has talent around him, he's very good. When he doesn't, I doubt he'll be more than mediocre.Justin Gage: He's okay, much like Washington, he's really only a No.3/No.4 WR on most teams. Kenny Britt : I think he's overrated. He doesn't run great routes and he body-catches the football. His on-field acceleration is questionable.Lavelle Hawkins: I was never on the Hawkins train. He's got some skills leaping for the ball and running after the catch. Routes, catching over the middle? We'll see...not convinced. Paul Williams: Great physical potential. Maturity was the issue and we haven't heard much about him. Chris Davis: Nice slot potential. Another potential No. 3 on any other team. Mark Jones : DittoDominique Edison: As a Titans fan, I pray Cecil and Sigmund are right that he has Marques Colston potential to surprise. I see lots of young potential there, but yes... there is certainly the possibility of major suckage.

Agreed - See above. This has been the Titans weakness since Jeff Fisher took over. Derrick Mason was a pleasant surprise who developed AFTER their one SB appearance. Otherwise, picking Dyson over Moss was a colossal error. We could have been looking at Steve McNair having Culpepper-like seasons in the early 2000s and with that Titans defense, I think that Rams SB would have been very different. So would have that loss to Baltimore in the playoffs the next year. Then there are all the injury-prone/past their prime players: Carl Pickens, Yancy Thigpen, Dyson, that receiver from the Pats (who I forget his name right now), etc. It's a mess there. They need a special consultant to scout and select their WRs in the draft.

 

[whitewizard]

maybe david givens, i think he is in seattle, but it is someone from around that time of patriots off casts.

i definately get your point about moss. if you had taken him the titans could have their name on the trophy twice. also if the lions never hired millen we might not be the laughing stock of the NFL the way we are now. crap happens and we all have choices we wish we could take back.

 

[doubletrouble]

when the TE will be the leading receiver then you'll think otherwise...

 

[NorrisB]

Ravens are easily the worst

 

[DA RAIDERS]

 

[Andy Herron]

It's pretty silly to bring Dallas into this conversation on any level of seriousness.

There are obviously some on this board that don't have a clue.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Tennessee is prob the worst, then Oakland.

actually, Crayton is known to have very good hands and doesnt drop many passes. only really important ones. while Dallas' WR corps are underwhelming, i wouldnt put them in this conversation. i'd say it could be the Oak/Ravens/Titans/Cleveland (if Braylon continues the stone hands thing)

It boggles my mind where this whole misconception of Crayton having bad hands stems from. The guy has been noted to have exceptional hands in real football circles and has the best hands on the Cowboys team. In addition, he is not only an accomplished punt returner in the NFL but a former college quarterback. Obviously not a resume' for an NFL wide receiver to be one who doesn't know how to handle a football. All I can do is shake my head when I read that crap. It's entirely unfounded.

it came from the dropped pass in the playoff game. thats all i can come up with.

Yep. National television. Potential game-winner. That may have changed the entire outcome of that post-season. Jackie Smith dropped a gimme in the Super Bowl from Staubach against the Steelers and didn't get as much bad publicity.Of course, the internet wasn't around then either to pass along so much misconception.

 

[nightmare]

Cowboys belong in this discussion.

M Bennett could score more TDs then the #2 WR and have 3/4ths the yards.

D Mason, D Avery, T Ginn, B Edwards, T Holt, J Cotchery, S Moss(Wash) and

A Bryant all stand a good chance of out producing R Williams.

Right now M Austin and P Crayton haven't done enough for anyone to say

their better then those team's #2s That leaves Giants, Chicago, Oakland,

San Fran, Tenn, Minny, and Dallas. I'm not including KC -Bowe is a stud in

the making.

I'd rank them San Fran, Tenn, Oakland, Minny, Chicago, Dallas, Giants.

Worst to best. Crayton and Austin as a duo might out produce all of those

other teams #2 and 3 wrs but it's going to be closer then a lot of people

think.

Do you really think that the Giants have a better receiving core than the Vikings?  Steve Smith has one career TD and Berrian has 20.  I assume you believe Nicks is better than Harvin even though he was drafted later.  Are the Giants #3 and #4 (whoever they are) better than Rice and Wade?   

 

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

Not sure how the Titans are anywhere near leading this poll, except because of previous years' reputation.

Justin Gage -- take a look at his numbers from last year.

Nate Washington -- FA signee, getting raves in camp

Lavelle Hawkins -- the new Derrick Mason

Kenny Britt -- first rounder, all time all everything out of Rutgers

Jared Cook -- listed as a TE, but let me tell you folks --> watch out for this guy. You WILL wake up on this guy.

No, that isn't a great list...but looking at some other teams, there is NO way they are last on the list.

Baltimore, Oakland, Jacksonville, Jets, San Fran, Browns, etc, and many others are worse.

 

[drew726]

Cmon guys, Johnnie Lee higgens isnt that bad lol

 

[finito]

Lavelle Hawkings -- the new Derrick Mason

Have I missed something? Is Hawkings really going to become a multi-1,000 yd reciever in the near future?
