Matty, let me preface this post by saying that I truly am not trying to be obnoxious and I'm sorry if this post is. In the words of Ali G, "Respect."

But, I don't understand your criticism of our receivers. Before the season began, you praised guys like Coles, McCants, Jacobs, and even Gardner. Now it is laughable for me to say that we have one of the best and deepest WR corps in the league? What gives?

It is especially strange since, before the season you (like me) thought our offense was going to be a powerhouse.

In the below thread you said our passing attack would be "lethal."

In the below thread you said we have enough weapons on our offense that we shouldn't have drafted Kellen Winslow.

In the below thread you said that an offense of Brunell, Portis, Winslow, Coles, and Gardner would be "scary."

In the below thread you said that, "Portis in Gibbs' offense would be downright scary. With an offense that would feature Coles, Brunell and Portis it would be downright explosive and perhaps the most talented trio Gibbs has ever had."

If our wide receivers aren't that good, why would you make the above comments?
