Dude, you mention a #1 WR in about every 3rd post. Maybe you can go 2 weeks and never mention a #1 WR except in threads about WRs like the Jeudy thread? The situation is not going to change and you will only spoil your health in the meantime.

I'll have to check my every 3rd post..

LOL.. the juedy thread brought me back in on the topic.. I know it's never going to happen.. wishful thinking on my part.. when we are shopping at building #19 .. for WRs.

I'm always positive.. I pride myself on the being positive! Speaking of positives.. what do you see as positive with the team?

Defense obviously. With White, Roberts, and Barmore, there is a good young DL. Safeties and CBs with Gonzo are more than solid. The LBs could improve but Tavai is better than advertised.

The two new rookie kickers look like they might be keepers.

T Brown playing well is a big relief, and I hope Sow can replace Lowe in 4 to 6 weeks. Then the OL should be OK. With the new Andrews, Mafi and the bunch of tackles we should be OK.

Mac looks better. I am not sure if Mac has "it" but he is growing and has fire. Douglas and Boutte both look good to me. I like Gesicki and Pharoah. Parker and Bourne are more than serviceable.

I would like to see an upgrade at LB and a fatty in the middle of the DL. I also would like an upgrade at TE #1, a young offensive left tackle in the draft, and dare I say it, we need a WR #1. With the $100M in cap space and the 2024 draft I think we can fill all of those holes.

My friend agreed 100% with everything you've said!!! Defense of course is the calling card of the team.. anything we get on offense I'll take! I'm optimistic about all the young guys, as the season progresses guys will settle more into thier roles. Guys like martu and white will be huge against Josh Allen this season IMO. White is ridiculous how he sets the edge. I believe juju is still hurt. But he has to be out there to justify the contract. He's too good a WR to not be a factor. If we are able to get anything going downfield when Thornton returns would be a welcome sight. I don't know going forward who we target as a number #1 WR going into next season. I'm big ok Sam Roberts he's a great 2 gap penetrating DL. He's excellent against the run and cat like quickness. Guys sometimes just need more playing time to be able to be productive. We've probably got our best D line talent since Seymour, Vince, ty Warren and Jarvis Green IMO. Not saying Guys are them... but they are talented. Barmore has been a force.. and Peppers has been at an all pro level at safety on the back end... not sure what's up with Philips.. Dugger is steady eddy. On the TEs want to see more from gisecki he is a match up problem for us at TE.

That ball wasn't gonna hit Bourne in stride, pretty much or otherwise.

I wonder if David likes his grits regular creamy, or al dente?
