WR Depth Chart

Checking out the replay of the Eagles/Jags game on NFL Network...

Seeing Deshean Jackson last year and Jeremy Maclin in this game makes me jealous. It would be so cool to have a nice passing game with contributing young WRs. I really hope it happens for us this year.

The young guys HAVE to contribute because they have no vets who can. Kevin Curtis is decent...but he's no #1 WR.

We have more depth at WR than they do. Plus Cooley blows away Celek and CP can make it through a season, unlike Westbrook.

Moss/Randel El/Kelly/Thomas/Mitchell are better overall than Jackson/Maclin/Curtis/Avant/Baskett/Brown.

Jackson and Maclin ARE great young WRs, but they had to come in and be the top guys because no one else could. Our young guys will be adding talent on top of an already solid #1/#2. Randel El is great in the slot and he'll get to return there this year. For as bad as he is on punt returns, he has actually been a clutch receiver for us when we need a first down.

youre out of your mind. the Eagles probably have the 2nd best receiving corps in the NFC (behind the Cards, of course). Santana Moss may be slightly better than Jackson NOW, but 'Tana's career is on the downside now and Jacksons' is on the rise. After the #1 slot though, its not even close. Their #2-5 receivers are better than each of ours.

Mitchell and Kelly have impressed in camp, but lets be honest here - they've impressed us because our expectations are so low because we havent gotten much out of any WR not named Moss in a decade. Yet what we've seen from Mitchell, Kelly and even Thomas in camp and in the preseason thus far doesnt even approach what the Eagles WRs (Minus Maclin) have demonstrated in real games.

Yeah, Maclin could end up being a bust, but theres a far greater chance he'll be better than any one of our 3 young guys. I'd take the Eagles receiving corp over ours in a HEARTBEAT.

I was gonna respond to Buster, but you pretty much summed it up. I totally agree. Their receiving corps is signifcantly better than ours, and so is the guy throwing the ball.

Brown, Avant and Baskett have had the chance to prove themselves and fell short.

Kelly, Thomas and Mitchell have not yet had the chance, plus have the potential to be so much more.

Kevin Curtis is their "veteran leader", and Moss blows him away in every way.

I'll still take ours. True, Jackson and Maclin could be great as a 1-2 punch, but we have the chance to have more quality players at he position and have better depth than they do.

Throwing out the #1/2s...who would you rather have? Brown, Avant and Baskett or Kelly, Thomas and Mitchell? I'll take our guys.

McNabb will not be effective or starting by the end of the year anyways, he's been on a decline and the fans always revolt against him annually, but this Vick debacle will end his reign in the town that booed him on draft day.
