Raiders WR Chaz Schilens visiting Cards

[Vermont Maverick]

28 catches in the last 20 games over 2 years?

A seventh round flyer by the Raiders, who draft anyone with speed, whether or not they can even play football.

Alright, you never know, I guess.

Schillens is from here.. went to high school in Gilbert.

 

[Stout]

Wouldn't mind having him on the roster.

I'm pretty sure the Whiners are going to sign every WR to keep us from finding a #2.

Schillens isn't a #2 WR.

 

[Pariah]

Schillens isn't a #2 WR.

Why do you say that? Because he's unreliable due to injuries? He's certainly talented enough to be a no. 2.

Hmm likewise... What makes you say he is talented enough? Certainly don't think you are basing that off his on field play?

Sure I am. Have you seen him play? He's a good WR.

Maybe not, but he seems to be drawing some interest around the league, (Jets, Niners).

 

[Shane]

I watch a lot of football and have watched some Raider games. Yet have never even heard of this guy until he was coming in for a visit. He has been in football for 4 years and even when he plays his stat line doesn't appear to be very impressive. I could probably name most #2's around the league. Yet this guy is a ghost.

You say he is a good player?? Im wondering what you base it off of?? Because his results of four years of NFL football certainly don't back that up. Maybe you have seen him have a good game or two. But I have seen many WR's have decent outing here and there but still aren't legit #2 WR in this league.

 

[BirdMan21]

He is someone who the past two years is picked as the sleeper wideout to break out because of his size and speed. And between injuries and playing with a new QB every week in OAK, I don't think he has ever broken out.

I agree with Pariah completely (and yes I have watched him play, and seen some of his huge game) that this guy has the talent if he can stay healthy (seems like a big if)...but his past might make him a lot cheaper than other number twos. I think he is a GREAT upside #2 guy, just not for real #2 money....middle-high end #3 with incentives and I'd be very happy with the signing.

 

[Pariah]

Shane, just because you haven't heard of him it doesn't mean he's not a good player. I see a lot of Raider games in Denver, and yes, based on that I think he's a good player. Certainly good enough to be a solid #2...IF he can stay healthy.

You just nailed why he is a good choice for the Cardinals, because 'we' probably don't have the cap space to sign a legitimate #2 WR like Laurent Robinson. He's an injury risk, but so is Early Doucet and this guy seems to have more upside than Early, especially if he has a full offseason to learn Whis' offense.

As the Cards have requested a meeting with Robinson, they are clearly prepared to make space for a #2. How much, who knows?

They won't do anything with Robinson until the Manning situation is resolved IMO.

Take another FA WR target off the board.

Sucks.

I think the end of Manning-gate will make the Cardinals re-think the "need" for a WR.

At least for one that will sign during the first wave of free agency.

I can smell Limas Sweed, or Mike Williams (if released) being brought in.

 

[Chopper0080]

Yes, because he is unreliable. He may produce like a 2nd WR, but to sign him to fill that slot is setting yourself up for disappointment.

 

[Stout]

At this point we need to start worrying about the WR position. We have Fitz, Roberts, and....no other developed receivers. Not good.

Draft Chris Givens in Rd 3, we'll be OK

I think with cap space freeing up since they are not running after PM, they will re-sign Early Doucet.

Re-sign and yes, I think so too.

 

[Duckjake]

Exactly what I was thinking. I have a feeling the Cards are happy with the majority of the roster they had at the end of last season and aren't going to make any major changes other than the #1 draft pick's spot.

(resign to re-sign) You are correct, I fixed it.
