We need to draft a 6'3 alien faced reciever with dreads and switch his jersey with Bryant's.

Apparently mike wallace didnt know he was a one trick pony when he predicted that he was gonna get 2000 yards in 2011

While he may not have reached 2K, he did come within an eyelash of it with 1193

186 yards and 2 TDs against the Bengals, and that was one game. You better hope he doesn't last another season.

Will this guy and Steve Smith get along? Seems like the kind of attitude that Steve Smith would have nothing with.

Was that in the loss, or the...loss?

Didn't realize poor defense plays means Smith is bad because he's old.

Yeah because rookies usually wind up contributing heavily right away.

I don't think anyone has ever been addicted to weed. I know people who use it, but it's always been a recreational thing - like drinking a beer after work.

Yeah, but addiction seems like one of the only explanations for someone's inability to refrain even when the stakes are so high. If it was just a 'recreational thing' you'd think he would have stopped by now.

I've known people that lost jobs over weed, people that pawn their stuff to get weed (because they refuse to work), people the leave baggies and scissors etc out around their kids etc. Sure there are people that can toke every now and then, but I know more hardcore stoners who would be labeled alcoholics if they were drunk as often as they are stoned.
It's not the harmless drug that stoners try to paint is as.

I smoked weed all through high school and beyond my job now I can't smoke the state can be waiting outside any day with a cup. not worth the risk. now I can tell it's not physically addictive, like opiates are where you have withdrawals. anyone tells you that they are addicted to pot it's mentally addictive I smoked it for 20 years and just quit. the little stoner punks that run around all day long and don't work they're lazy

Not everyone who fails to contribute as rookies are busts.
Antonio Brown went 16-167-0 as a rookie. Was he a "bust"?
Perriman may wind up being a good player, but rookie WRs often struggle.

Brown was a 6th round pick playing behind Ward, Wallace, Sanders and Miller in an offense that was putting tremendous effort (but for the most part failing) to develop a solid run game and use a balanced attack on offense. And Brown still found time to beat the Ravens in the playoffs on a 4th quarter long distance circus catch.

Brown is far more talented than Wallace, Sanders and a washed up Ward, would you not agree?
So why was he "stuck" behind them?
Are you guys really going to pretend like you don't know that rookie WRs often struggle? Even a casual fan should know this.
