Sadly, we may need to be looking at the waiver wire for WR help. Flashes and the yearly minicamp "Scrub WR #10 looks like the second coming of Jerry Rice in shorts"fluff pieces are great and all, but at some point these guys have to prove that you can step up and be reliable when your number is called. If Ross isn't as advertised, we could be in real trouble.

But you need more than just Green and Boyd so you have to keep LaFell until Ross, Malone, Core, Erickson, and/or Tate can actually show they can be productive. For any of them to show that, I’d like to see a 400+ yard season.

What is being lost here is we have a new WR coach in Bicknell and everyone is raving about just how much faster our
WR's look this year. Namely Ross who is running like 23 MPH and burning William Jackson III. We are not just going to
find some WR off the wire that will compete here, don't see that happening at all.
Ross, Malone and Auden Tate are all extremely talented. Sooner or later atleast one of them will show up and roll good
old Lafell down the roster chain.
Boyd had his off the field problem last year and that is a big reason he wasn't productive.
