I think we're grading a little bit differently. I was grading the WR groups as a whole. But it looks like you're comparing the #1's, then the #2's, then the #3's. Chicago's WR corps as a whole, for example, is far superior to ours. Brandon Marshall is an elite NFL WR, superior to Garcon; and Alshon Jeffery is an absolute beast, superior to DeSean Jackson. Our #3, Andre Roberts, is better than their #3(who is it anyway?), but Marshall and Jeffery are so good that Chicago's WR corps is still better. My two cents...

It will be Rex Grossman. Unleash the Dragon!

No way Dre regressed the past two seasons. Check the stats.

While I agree with the fact that Chicago has a better all around corp, I was grading as a whole, and I have us 3rd behind the Bears and Falcons

Watching D. Jax's interview on ESPN, his eyes getting red like he's going to cry. Barring injury he's going to BEAST it this season.

I seriously hope this is all more than the past year's offseason wins. I know it absolutely seems like we got a set WR corps, but a part of me is starting to feel the winning the offseason vibe (even I know it's done a different way then we used to).

From the interview, I see a motivated individual, a guy with a chip and someone who is going to work hard to erase some of his past mistakes. People have questioned how well out locker room can handle DJax, there I also don't think it will be much of a problem. We have a good group of guys.

This whole deal is going to be awesome for the Skins.

As a whole it's hard to put the Broncos under us with Welker, Thomas, Sanders + Manning. Also think if Nicks returns to form, him, Wayne, Hilton + Luck are pretty darn good.

I think we're all honeymooning a little bit. I'm happy we're in the conversation though that's for sure.

Regressed was a bad choice of a word, but even though he still Had 100 catches there were a few times that he looked 32, not enough to really worry you but anyways.

I dont think Sanders is that good and I was stricktly talking about WRs, I dont include the QB or the Line with the comparisons, and yes the Colts group could be dangerous as well.

He's had to deal with Schaub and Keenum. Pair him with an elite QB and watch out.

Wait until DJax throws his first drama fit. That'll bring the vibe back to earth.

Otherwise I am with you. I would have done a few things differently but overall the offseason has been good to us. I tend to trust this feeling because we (mostly) have not been signing flashy baubles but, instead, bringing in the lunch-pail types.

I hope it's safe to say, that if our line can give Griffin even decent protection, Gruden ought to give us some fun offense to watch.

He wont have an elite QB this year, Hopkins needs to develop as well, but as a whole I wouldnt rate them higher than us.

On paper our WR corps looks great. Let the season play out before we put them in the top five. My confidence in this team has increased since the day mike was fired but chemistry has to be established first.
