Cpayne5, I agree in part. The O-line did not give JC enough time to read his routes much less throw the ball. So in essence I agree Hixon is not totally the problem which is why I would like for us to either retire Bugel or let him go and find someone who is more current with the new blocking schemes/ maybe zone blocking if that is what Zorn was asking for. Buges is only good for technique these days.

I'm not sure if Christensen is a WCO type of coach but he definitly could help with developing down the field passes withZorn. Christensen would also be great at teaching the WR's to get open. We picked up argueably the two best WR's in last yrs draft. They have talent or they would not have been listed to go in the first rounds in some of the draft boards. Amazingly they fell to us in the second round. They just need to be coached properly. Also if some of you are right and they are busts then don't you think one of the best in the league would be able to identify that and possibly bring in better talent at WR? and you guys are right he may not want to come but it doesn't hurt to explore this avenue and offer a ton of money to pull him away from the Colts. It might even be a good stepping stone for him in the future in terms of becoming a HC either here (which I doubt would happen unless Zorn get fired) or elsewhere.
