Who Starts Week 1 at Wide Receiver?

[BritCard]

People are all-in in McBride a little early. He couldn’t beat out Zach Ertz’s ghost but let’s push all the chips in on him today.

They literally cut Ertz to give mcBride the TE1 role and he was one of the best TE's in the league for the spell he was TE1. What more do you need?

 

[Stout]

Larry was a corpse by then and had less than 700 yards from the slot when you made that comment. Also, who is at #1 makes no difference to someone's ability to be a #2.

Kirk had missed 6 games out of 29 too, so was hardly Mr Reliable.

Well, we'll see if you're right about Wilson. I have no doubt we're rolling with him as our #2 this year. I just hope we leave the draft with an adequate #1, at least. I don't think even you could spin Wilson as the top of our WR depth chart as a positive

As WR2, I don't know why you couldn't if we're speaking purely ability, but durability does matter and I can't argue against that.

is this an offense we're supposed to be emulating? You're kind of making the argument for Stout that it was a bad decision to depend on Kirk as a legit #2 at that point.

No, my point is why did he think Kirk was a solid #2 in arguable an equally bad offense, but Wilson is not.

Wilson is going to just fine. This is the Trey McBride thread all over again. Anyone with eyes can see Wilson is NFL starting wide receiver calibre.

My last post referenced him as #1.

FTFY

When is the draft again?

Disagree.
Mike Wilson has clearly displayed the talent to be an NFL starter. Definitely a Y and possibly an X.
But the best ability is availability and at this point we don't know if we will be able to count on him for 15 games a season. Only time will answer that .

But, should we come out of this draft with Harrison/Odunze and something like Adonai Mitchell/Brenden Rice.... We should be fine in the long haul even if Wilson only gives us 12 games a season.

I think he's shown the talent to be an NFL roster player. Can he start on a good or middling team? That I don't think he's proven yet.

You might have the highest set of standards out of everyone on this forum, lol.

He's really not starting caliber to you right now?

 

[Solar7]

Did anyone here mention that the Texans changed Diggs' contract to putting him into free agency next year?

Now how do we feel? Who wants to give up a 2nd for a one year rental of Diggs instead of a 4-year player?

Not soon enough

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I was acting a little bit like a jerk last night, sorry @Chopper0080. I could have disagreed in a more relaxed way. Having a bad couple of days.

Sorry to hear it bud. Hope things turn around quickly.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This board is going to be something is Monti trades down, Wilson gets dinged up in training camp, and Brian Thomas looks like Hakeem Nicks as a immediate starting WR next to Dortch and Pascal. I don't want to hear about hindsight being 20/20 if that happens. It would have just been a bad plan.

Don’t you put that on us! DON’T YOU PUT THAT ON US!!!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Don't put this evil on us, bro. We're all Cardinals fans here. Wilson only get injured when he gets hit; I don't think he's a soft-tissue guy.

That Hakeem Nicks thing though. That freaking hurts. He was, like, pretty good.

Thanks! Just trying to claw my way back into a normal life since the injury and surgery. Hard to believe I was making well over six figures two years ago and might be taking a $16/hr job today. Work is work, but sheesh. At least my health is mostly back.

Anyways, back to football.

I meant Hakeem Butler...

 

[Chopper0080]

Is this supposed to be a bad thing?

Hakeem before the injuries was incredible.

I messed up in my dramatic state, broke character, and wrote Hakeem Nicks (great player) instead of Hakeem Butler (not great player). The kool aid in my veins runs strong.

That’s who I thought you meant but didn’t want to go down the wrong rabbit hole when I could just call out a self-own.

I am nothing if not fallible.

 

[kerouac9]

Was Hakeem Butler just a stiff? 6’6” might actually be too big for an NFL WR except for true freaks?

He was on a roster with Pittsburgh last year, who seemed to be trying him at TE. Hasn’t played in a game since 2020 tho.

I think he can be. Are your standards really so low that you think he's a guaranteed #2. Not a placeholder #2 or a #2 on a bad team, but a bang-on, zero doubt, good #2? He certainly hasn't proved that yet, not one iota. Like K9 said, he's proven he's an NFL player. I think he'll eventually become a decent starter--IF he holds up physically which is a huuuge if--and if he develops properly, which isn't a guarantee.

I was high on him during last year’s draft process. That’s not having low standards, that’s just how highly I think of him.

Not one iota? There has been flashes.

Like K9 said, he's proven he's an NFL player

Then why did you “fixed” Brit’s post to the exact opposite? lol like huh?

I think he'll eventually become a decent starter

Im not sure how he’s not “decent” right now, but I guess.
