Agular and Bourne are not much of any better then what we had last year. Bb proves he can not evaluate receivers yet again.
I was just responding to you saying Bourne and Agholor are no better than what we have which is clearly rubbish based on the stats i mentioned. In terms of receivers we now have more quality. Sure we need a QB but the receivers are better. That was my pointTwo questions:
1.) how does that translate into our offense. Answer: It doesn’t.
2.) who was the qb throwing them the ball? Answer: Probably someone better than newton.

Of Bournes 30 catches last year 23 went for first downs or TD's which is better than Harry by quite some way. Also whilst his overall speed isn't great he ranked very highly in the 3 cone drill and really isn't harry pt 2. I think you are looking at the wrong player If you look at all his catches last year he manages to generate quite a lot of separation and has decent hands. I think he compares to Meyers much more than Harry.you could have Jerry rice in his prime on the field with newton and he would be lucky to catch 200 yards of balls over a 16 game schedule. That is how bad newton is!
I look at agular’s tape from Philly and I see a guy that is slower than Byrd and not very good at the catch piont.
I look at Bourne and I see Harry part 2, a slow guy that is not sudden and generates little separation.
Meyers is probably better than either of those guys.

So you think Jacoby Meyers is 3.5 times better than Jerry Rice?
It had been, up to that point.This should be a productive thread, full of cogent analysis and incisive takes.
That’s definitely not true on the first point. I don’t know what to expect from either guy but they are easily a significant upgrade from any receiver we had not named Meyers. I don’t even know what we have with Jakobi but while the rest of our receivers were hot garbage he was very productive by comparison.Agular and Bourne are not much of any better then what we had last year.

smith and Henry, if they are walking upright and breathing, are better than stumble and fumble that we drafted last year.
we need to draft two wide receivers. To be a future number 1 and number 2.

You are completely ignoring White’s ability to consistently make plays to convert 3rd downs and move the chains. Like Kevin Faulk it’s not his cumulative numbers that matter, it’s the importance of the plays he makes to keep drives alive so they score. If Harris and Michel had that ability White would be redundant, as it is he isn’t redundant he’s a necessity.RB: right now it's a downgrade only because Harris/Michel/JJ Taylor are unproven. But as I've said in other threads, I don't mind White leaving as he vultures away too many touches from Harris or Michel who could provide bigger plays and get away from the gimmicks.
TE: obviously night and day better. Bill got the two best on the market.
WR: Better than before, but still needs improvement. Need an Alpha Dog WR.
