Trade Deadline Moves

[Schneed10]

Right now I don't think a new WR would help us all that much. To me the rate limiting factor in the passing game is Alex Smith's newness to the offense. He's not anticipating breaks in routes, he's double clutching, delivering late. He's waiting to see guys come open before he throws it. Bringing a new WR in won't change that. Smith just has to get more comfortable and throw it with some anticipation.

Not that our current crop of WRs are world beaters, but Jordan Reed's numbers are down too, a sign that Smith isn't as in sync with him as Cousins was. Which you'd expect, by the way. Smith is new to us.

I think we can expect it to get better as they work together. I certainly wouldn't do anything that would layer on significant salary this year at the WR spot.
