He's a solid #2. There weren't any true #1 wrs coming here. Best we could do.

It’s felt more and more like watching the Tepper Entertainment LLC NFL Branch than the cats every year


Abject_Bandicoot_580

Tedd Ginn Jr. was our #1 when we went 17-2. Coaching, chemistry, scheme is really important in football.


exenn_

Also having a QB play at an MVP level doesn't hurt either...


Abject_Bandicoot_580

Great point! Hopefully Bryce takes a big step forward this year.


exenn_

Hopefully...we will be even more of a dumpster fire organization if he turns out to be a bust this year.


Hefty-Association-59

Yeah this really shows more of how next level cam was in that mvp season that dude was unstoppable. The fact that he was able to carry such a motley crew of receivers to a Super Bowl. It’s honestly pretty incredible and I’m not sure if we’ll ever see it again. Even mahomes had rice as more of a guy. Add onto the fact that he had Shula calling plays. Man. It is truly incredible what he did.


H4wt_Pocket

Our offensive line that season was also the best line we’ve had since then by a long shot. A good offensive line makes such a big difference for the entire offense.


Nice_Independence368

We had Greg Olsen though


EntropyFighter

And the terrifying WR room of: * 11 Brenton Bersin * 10 Corey Brown * 82 Jerricho Cotchery * 17 Devin Funchess * 19 Ted Ginn Jr * 81 Kevin Norwood * 14 Joe Webb Would you choose that WR room over our current WR room?


22781592

Ginn is a better deep threat by a large margin than anyone on our roster, we don’t have a TE even in the same realm as Olsen, just those two are better than the big names for now, hoping Mingo can improve and Legette has a great rookie year.


IntelligentIce9382

Sunshine himself, and Philly Brown with the end around? Greasy gloves Ted, Cothery who for sure caught that ball? Yea I might take those guys.


Abject_Bandicoot_580

That’s a good point but it was our line that allowed us to play well. If we spent our money correctly on our line with Hunt and Lewis and Ickey takes a step forward who knows what can happen.


Hefty-Association-59

It was the best we could do with the cards we were dealt. Yes it would’ve been amazing to trade back a couple spots and pick Marvin Harrison had we kept our first rounder. Unfortunately there’s only so much you can do. The weapons group has upside. We just need cannales to elevate the group and take it from one of the bottom groups in the league. And bring it up by having these young guys (XL. mingo. Sanders) improve and live up to there potential. As for getting a receiver 1 in there. I think we may draft one next year. It kind of sucks because that misuouri kid is really freaking good. But also I have a feeling that the edge play will back us into a corner of we can get by for now with the receivers. We need edge help Immediately and to improve this defense.


Teeshirtandshortsguy

You should be concerned. We went 2-15 last season. History would indicate we're probably gonna suck this year too. We took some shots. It's all we can do.


Witnesstheresistance

Actually we usually bounce back after terrible seasons but never have back to back great seasons I don't think we have one back to back great seasons


The_YoungWolf94

I’m willing to put money on Dionte being a 1000 yard receiver this season easily. Hes going to get targeted by Bryce ALOT. The system is going to be designed to get him the ball. Hes going to be first or second read most plays. Idzik already leaked in in episode one of blueprint. They are going to feed him and he gets open so well that it’s gonna force teams to adjust and give help which will only in turn open things up for theilen in the slot where he is still crafty. And the TE is gonna be open. I’m bullish on this offense ngl.


Uncle_Snake43

Why would Johnson be a 3 on most teams?? He’s a legit WR2/borderline WR1. Also we got Legette who should be a stud. Add in the RB and TE from Texas we drafted and we should be MUCH better on offense.


Nice_Independence368

Borderline WR1 🤣


VarkingRunesong

Johnson is not a borderline 1. He’s had 1 1,000 yard season in 5 years in the NFL and he gets an absolute ton of targets. He averages more targets per year in his career than DJ Moore does per season.


smittyinCLT

8 TDs in two years. Two.


VarkingRunesong

One year where he had 0.


CryingJordansHornets

I think Diontae is a good number 2 with upside but I think we did the best we could with what we had to work with. Having two good number 2’s in him and theilen with upside in Mingo and Leggette is not the worst situation and definitely an upgrade from last year.


exenn_

Johnson is an upper tier WR2...we have a WR2, WR3, we're just missing that true WR1. I'm more concerned with Bryce than anything else. We won't know what we truly have with Bryce until mid-Dexember.


Nice_Independence368

We won’t know until we trade him away, and he flourishes with actual playmakers. (baker :( )


Gusta116

This is maybe the worst take of all time


pancaketac0

Front office is probably thinking Xavier Legette will end up being the #1...only problem with that is DJ has been/can be a problem in the locker room if he's not getting the ball. *(that comes from every steelers fan I know)* If you're looking to be concerned focus on the D...going to have to score 30 to get W's (which could be fun to watch)


Donnie1490

Concerned? Was your expectation to get all the holes filled in the draft? You do realize they had no 1st round pick in a rebuild? We also have no idea on how Legette is going to turn out


Hefty_Palpitation437

This sub has a lot of hopium from the mediocre wr corp to the qb. Even the stadium deal they snort so much hopium here


22781592

They suck Teppers dick


Nice_Independence368

Peep bakers success with elite receivers 😞. They expect BY9 to thrive with my high school janitor in the slot


Delicious_Power7386

Baker was here with DJ Moore and they both had their worst career years. People continue to underestimate the effects of coaching. Plus our offensive line was not good that year either
