What's scary is that as mediocre as LaFell was last year with 52 catches for 548 yards and 3 TD's, Boyd, Core, Erickson, and Malone combined for 40 catches for 468 yards and 4 TD's. I really don't see any way LaFell isn't one of the top 4 at the end of camp.
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.
