i dont understand this..the guy was CLEARLY the best receiver we had in training camp and all preseason games, and were refusing to give him any opportunity..our offense couldnt possibly get any worse than it already is, so i dont see anything wrong with throwing him in as a starter and seeing how it goes..gotta start taking chances to find something that clicks

You can say that again. WOW.

Looks like McKinnie and Hutch are the only linemen on the team that aren't hurting, that we know of anyways.

Carter not only ended up on the practice squad but he cleared waivers.

I don't see how having two games with long receptions against backups makes you clearly the best WR.

Look at our WR's. How can he not be better?

Twill had a good game, hope he has another, but im not keeping my fingers crossed. Bethal sucks, McMuffin sucks, Travis sucks, and Marcus always gets hurts when hes in more then 4 or 5 plays.

How is that being better? Merely exsisting in a WR core where people are struggling? He hasn't prooven anything yet. Apparently he hasn't prooven it to Childress either if he is still on the practice squad.

How is it better? How can he be WORSE? Its immpossible. Hes young, has alot to prove, and can makes plays at least against 2nd stringers. Hes hasnt been dumped repeatedly by other teams.

Childress signed Stinkson. His area of expertise(sp?) is not in WR's.

I see another Baskett vs McMuffin type thread is brewing.
