Tough question. Clearly he's no Hopkins at this point in his career. But he's also clearly a positive presence and can be productive out of the slot. He's a great blocker and possession receiver. Maybe move Kirk outside and give Larry some reps? I dunno. All depends on how much his skills have diminished, and from what we last saw, he was clearly headed down that road.

Can you tell me what is your basis for saying: "he can be productive out of the slot" Because based off last year he really can't. He's a year older and I'm betting not even close to football shape.

I always thought one weird thing about Larry's career was that for like his 2nd through 7th years, he was the absolute best in the league at high-pointing the ball. Nobody could touch him. It made him pretty much unstoppable.

And then suddenly, in like his 8th year, bam! He never did it anymore, and the media never talked about it anymore. It was like somebody flipped a switch on that ability of his. It seemed so strange.

Hell no to moving Kirk around to accommodate Larry. Why mess with a good thing. Antoine been competent & proved he can make a catch to move chains in key moments during recent games. He low key put up 3 for 62 yards against 49ers & 4 for 44 yards against Seahawks. Larry's high last year was also 62 yards & he did it twice. It took him 8 & 10 catches to do it which he is not getting in this offense. Also Larry's long for last season was 18 yards while Antoine got a 20 & 30 yard catches. Don't think with your heart. Larry's stats are painful the more you dive into last year.

If he comes back I want this thread bumped the minute he catches that first td. Followed by pages of forks and crows
You mean like his singular TD last year In 13 games that he scored that propelled us to the playoffs?

Some ass hat just posted a tweet saying it was a done deal already and although I don’t think it makes sense my wife and I were elated ! For about 2 minutes until we realized it was fake.

That being said I like what I’ve seen form Wesley when given the opportunity.

One thing about this season that I’ve enjoyed is seeing that there are players that can fill the role of expiring contracts . (Wesley-Green , Moore - Kirk , Harlow - Pugh)

The previous two years? You do realize people get worse with each passing year right? Even in 2019 he only was at 10 YPC and had a meager 4TDs which is utter crap for a “star WR” and the year before 6 TDs in 16 games again utter crap. Hasent eclipsed 1000 yards in 3 seasons. He has been in steady decline clear as day and looks like he’s running in molasses…. Quit living in 2008 bro…. Let it go… SERIOUSLY….

Larry can’t throw the ball to himself. How many times was he targeted in the end zone?
Blahhahahaa yea that explains his **** production for 3 years straight…. Dude is slow bro. Need to get open. LBers can easily cover Fitz at this point.

There’s a reason out of how many posters we have about 5 actually crowing for him to come back…. Because the rest are living in reality.
