WOW. We get 2 paragraphs of rambling garbage instead of one.
Torry Holt and Marvin Harrison was listed at 6'0. Holt admitted he was slightly under 6'0 and Manning stated many times Harrison was quite his listed 6'0. Look dude I'm gonna argue over a half an inch or 1 inch or whatever. The point is those WRs can play tall in their game. They may not be 6'3 but they all can play like a taller WR due to speed and acrobatic athleticism. Just like Steve Smith could leap going over the middle century and reach to hull in a catch and hit the ground running. He didn't play like a slot just like those others didn't. That's my point. I brought up Marquise Lee because although just a rookie his college tape shows he plays very tall. I was very impressed with how tall he plays. As a matter of fact that is my favorite kind of wr. A WR bout 6'0 who is fast, shifty and quick like a slot WR limited to a ground game yet can leap and make long catches d well as leaping for a catch while in stride going over the middle. Marquise Lee and Paul richardson fit that mold. I was hoping patriots would draft one of them or Allen Robinson or Jordan Matthews.
BS. You said nothing of the sort in your original post. As for Marqise Lee (you can't even spell his name right and you claim he's your favorite kind of WR. Who was a healthy scratch this week, btw).
Sorry, but none of them played like Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson or Chad Johnson. There are 2 things you can't teach. Speed and height.
And I don't believe any team was interested in loser Lafell. He jumped on that $3 million because his own team didn't really want him back. He is a scrub,there's more to being a red zone Target than being 6'2! Lafell is a joke. He was just the cheapest option with starting experience. And Manning wanted Sanders all along because as good as the offense was manning said it lacked that player with blazing speed to strike fear in defenses due to getting behind them in a blink. He wanted that element added to the offense and Sanders is lighting it up and on pace to crush Deckers stats. And as for loser lafell even if another team was Dumb enough to want him as a starter he still sux! He is average at best with very little upside. He was a feeble attempt to add a playmaker. Britt would have been better at least he is explosive and has upside to get better. Why do people get so offended when a player sux. You don't win super bowls with players like lafell, you win by replacing scrubs with talent or players with speed athleticism,explosiveness and upside to develop
What you believe doesn't make a damn bit a difference.
How do you know Manning wanted Sanders all along? Like Manning has any say in the people who get signed.
Your mentioning Kenny Britt is a joke! Britt is the loser. Or have you missed the suspensions he's had. There's a reason why the Pats didn't sign him. Because he's not intelligent.
Actually, you DO win SBs with players like Lafell as a complementary receiver. Or do I need to point out the likes of David Tyree, David Givens, Charles Johnson, David Patten, etc, etc. Players who didn't have a lot of talent, athleticism and speed to strike fear in defenses but still had a large role in helping their team win the big one.
You might have expected Lafell to be more than a #2 WR, but most sane people didn't. Most sane people had the expectation that he'd come in and be a complimentary WR who would push Dobson and Thompkins.
Do yourself and everyone else a favor. Don't post drunk..
