I think Beastmode just can't admit to being wrong. Its a very common thing.

People on NFL boards get wrapped up in all the off season garbage and imagine themselves to be competent GM's. The emotional investment in their imaginary expertise spills over into this sort of rancor during the regular season when the ACTUAL team management does something that doesn't jive with the imaginary brilliance on the boards.

Tiring to say the least but it isn't going to stop anytime soon.

Exactly! I don't get this "project" and "garbage time player" rhetoric. Meredith has 78 career receptions, 1019 career yards and four career TD's.

Tre'Quan Smith and Austin Carr have FOUR career receptions, 63 career yards and ZERO career TD's ... COMBINED!

On a 3 win team. Is CM better than Pryor? He had over 1,000 yards that season and look how that turned out. Another situation of a bad team with one WR that gets all the mop of targets they want. Hurns, same thing.

Pryor and Hurns never showed a propensity for route running, nor were they slot receivers. We can watch the film. Meredith runs good routes. Meredith has strong hands. Meredith has good speed for his size. Hurns would be a pretty good in our offense as well. And even in the instance of Pryor, I wouldn’t call him a project after a 1,000 yard season.

Just keep repeating the same old lame logic over and over again. As long as you believe it ... which I doubt. I'll guarantee you that almost everyone else thinks it's crap. Meredith was brought in for one reason and one reason only, to take over the slot duties and he has already been a success in doing that.

It will be clear in the next 3-4 weeks how things will shake out. Notice I did not revert to name calling or laughing at you. I also don't make bets hoping for other players to fail which you did. If you lose the bet I also will not laugh at you. It's petty and just not what I do. I look at the facts and accept them. 3 games in and Carr, Smith and CM each have one single catch. If you want to call CM the winner and superior talent then go right ahead. I don't know who will win the job right now. That is exactly what I said at the beginning of the season and is exactly what happened. He is also not the WR2. That would be Ginn. It's actually Kamara but technically it is Ginn.

I don't know where you got it in your mind that I have ever hoped for Smith or Carr to do bad. Hell, I hope they score a TD every time they happen to see the field. That has nothing to do with the bet that The Dude and I have. I had been touting Meredith LONG before that bet (which is really none of your business) was even considered. I have no need, or desire, to pull against ether player. Once again, faulty thinking on your part. Meredith was signed as a free agent to be the starting slot receiver and that's exactly what he was in his first game.

Yes, three games in, but only one game for Meredith and that catch produced a crucial TD. I have little doubt we'll be seeing more of the same for the remainder of the season.

I don’t get where Beast is coming from. To say we don’t need more receivers on the field producing is stupid. I just don’t think Meridith is the answer. He had one reception that was a TD. I’m happy for him and wish him the best. I hope he is great for us but I don’t see it happening.

I don't get it either. Although, you and I differ on our opinion of Meredith, we both just want what's best for the team. And in my opinion, Meredith is going to continue being the primary slot receiver for the remainder of the season. That was the whole reason he was signed in the first place.
