Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

Still need a run game. We have a little. I would like to see 20-25 yards more a game (so 3-4 more first downs)

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

Lance Moore is dinged also.
When we spread defenses out, all of our guys will have their day in the sun.
PT was somewhat absent until Chicago...Sunday was his day.
Next week someone else will be the go to guy because that's what the defense is giving us.
I have no doubt, Payton/Brees will gameplan each week and pick those bones clean.
Colston, Meach, Moore, Toon, Stills, Graham, Sproles, PT, Ingram, and on and on...
When we get our running game going, things will really get ugly for our opponent.

This thread makes me feel dumb.

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

Most all of what the people who are taking a contrary stance to OP is correct but I can't argue with the idea of a "scare the hell out of the opponents DC" type of receiver is all that keeps this from being the greatest passing team ever.

We'd be unstoppable. We might even be able to run.

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

Welcome to the suck papz.

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

The Browns are reportedly shopping Josh Gordon for a 2nd round pick. Maybe we could offer a 3rd. Anybody on board?

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

Not me... who's place would he take and we need all the picks we can get for depth at LB and O-Line...

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

He is more talented than any of our receivers. I doubt it, but maybe we could trade Ingram for him.

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

The Browns traded a better ingram away for a crappy 1st round pick, what make you think that they'd trade a pick to get a worse, older MI?

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

I don't think they would. I said "I doubt it, but..."

6'4" 220 lbs with a sub 4.4 40 time. If they would take Ingram or a 3rd round pick, I think it might be a huge steal.

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

Cause they are looking to get robbed?

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

Our top football catching man is doing pretty well....

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

How much longer until we start those equally retarded 'What if?' forums again?

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

It's not a #1 WR we need, but a true Slot WR. Missing Lance big time.

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

Give Ingram and a 3rd ... The Browns plan on Blowing that team to shreds at the end of the year anyways ...

Heck Give em the 2nd round pick they're asking for , We've wasted a ton of draft picks that didn't even make it on our roster as of late. At least with Gordon we know he instantly is our Best Wideout !

Give Drew a Real Threat and He'll Put up Peyton Numbers easily. It's much easier to throw to someone that's always open rather than doing long division to find a mismatch with a crap O line and Julius Peppers coming at you full speed. That's why Manning is King right now , He can do long division and as of right now he has so much talent at receiver he doesn't need to they're wide open !

The NFL is an Arms race , whose got the most firepower ?

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

And I seriously doubt we'd face Stacked Boxes with Gordon , Graham and Sproles split out ...

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

We presently stand atop the NFL with firepower.
Denver's defense is suckin

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

Wow so far this is my nomination for dumbest thread of the year. But when I thought about it all day before I respond you. THe author is partially right. We can use an upgrade at WR, that would be nice but a true number one doesn't fit our offense. Its not who we are.

-We have never had a true number one WR under Payton. We don't need one.

- specialty skill players is what we have and need.

- we need to take a look at our O line. They aren't getting the job done in the run game. Is it to early to talk draft???

5-0 is 5-0

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

No we don't , Denvers O is worlds better they can run , receivers are open Peyton Manning is balling his tail off ...

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

How anyone can say that we need to change something on offense(O-Line not included) when we've been top 5+ every year in the Payton era is beyond me...

Money that we would have to spend for a #1 type receiver can be used way more efficiently on the defense.

Don't fix it if it ain't broke...

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

Before we worry about Denver how about we worry about the Pats first.

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

We had better start working on a RUNNING GAME before the Snow Bowl in the Meadowlands.

Alaska

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

If there is a place that we are weak it's our O-line. It equates to no run game and Brees left like the headless horseman. Our O-line needs help bad!!

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

Are you sure it's the thread?:)

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

What about drafting Pure All American Offensive Lineman , Better Yet Just Take Bama's entire Line , that way they already know how to play as a unit .... I've always wondered if that would work.

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

Worlds better? You want me to send you a Bronco's jersey bro?

That statement is not grounded in reality.
Peyton manning has had the luxury of dragging 3 of their first 5 opponents into MileHi and wearing them out in the thin air, opposing defenses are spent midway 3rd qtr. They traveled to the Giants... the Giants put up 23 on them.... Then participated in the single worst combined defensive display in history in Dallas where there were 50 burgers for all and Romo won the game for Denver. I will also add Romo had a better night by 1TD, and 90+ yards.

Re: We need a True No.1 receiver ...
 

We have 4 or 5 #1 receivers.
All of them would be a star anywhere else.
