WR Scouts

Sometimes I think we might be making too much of not having a standout #2 WR. Remember the 49ers in their Jerry Rice heyday? Can you tell me off the top of your head the 2nd WR on those teams? I think perhaps it was JJ Stokes, but he was nothing special.

My point is this - good football is throwing to the open man. When you have a WR who is extraordinary in the league in his ability to run great routes and get open and catches everything, his stats are going to make everyone else's look tiny. But what are you going to do? Spread the ball to receivers that aren't as open when Can't Guard Mike is the most open? Hell no, you have to hit Mike in that situation.
