JB and the WRs - impactplaya - 04-26-2020
Just something to think about
A great deal of rookie QBs drafted in top 10 that end up starting
Inherit offensea thats lacking in talent scoring etc
JB is coming into a offense that lacked scoring last
Year but is not lacking in PROVEN TALENT
The offense had 2 proven 1,000 yd WRs.
1,000 yd RB.
A WR that led the NFL through 2 weeks last year
In yardage. Had 12 catches over 20 yards among his 28.
WR drafted from Clemson that averaged 18.9 a catch
Here's the thing
Somehow JB has to keep harmony in that WR room.
That's a tall task for any QB. MUCH LESS A ROOKIE
Between AJ , Boyd and Ross each one believes he deserves
To be the number 1 guy. Each WR has had a measure of success
Boyd has back to back 1,000 yd seasons.
AJ Needs no explanation. Ross was a #9 pick with undeniable talents
Now you throw in Mixon who can catch as well as any RB in
The league. Higgins wasn't drafted to wave a towel or be a gunner
On kicks. I didn't include a emerging Auden Tate.
Unique situation that needs to be thought about.

I hear what you're saying but i don't feel that's much of a worry. AJ is in no way a diva, Ross is literally fighting to stay on team and won't be making waves. Boyd is pretty much locked in his role. Higgins most likely knows he's just gonna get snaps here and there. Tate knows he's WR #4 or 5.
Perhaps I'm wrong but I don't think it's an issue.

You are not wrong.

Joe is pretty good at spreading the ball around. Just google his pass distribution numbers from last year.

He just throws to space, he sees the space and that is where he goes.
Great football mind. This is the most developed QB mind coming out of college I have ever seen.
