Only difference between stills and toon is that stills makes the catch and makes the play when he's targeted, toon has all the athletic ability to be a great WR, unfortunately his hands suck - the most important part of being a WR

Stills earned an increase in snaps because he kept making plays, all toon has earned is in a spot on the bench with hartley

Where was all this "Khiry deserves more snaps" SP said that and as soon as ingram came back, made him inactive

look i saw toon play in college a good bit. i am stumped as to the quality of play we are seeing out of the kid. it maybe as simple as he is trying to hard. the skills are there. maybe a Valium before the game would help. if not he will be hitting the road. WR has moved way up my draft needs list by mid season. i hope he turns this around.

Don't get me started on Hartley. He is getting too easy of a pass with these FG misses. We need to bring in competition to either push him to improve or replace him all together.

Stills also has had more opportunities to prove himself than Toon

Toon catches about as well as Mickey Mouse.

Because stills earned them, toon just drops everything thrown his way

Yeah, I must admit of all the guys I thought would step it up a notch, Toon has disappointed me the most. He was supposed to have average speed but great hands. So far neither.

On the other hand, some rookies I thought wouldn't really shine until 2014, Stills has surprised me.

Could you guys imagine what Brees could do with a WR like C. Johnson or Dez...

Danno · 11-04-2013, 02:36 PM

I just read that Ingram had to get an X-ray after the game, per Jim Henderson.

Geez, how bad can it get for the kid?

I think you may see us draft one early or spend some money on one in free agency.

I think we definitely look at O-line and WR as vital needs next year. A kicker wouldn't hurt either. Shankalicious has to go.
