I agree Randy, but to add to that, I think Hixon and the other staff have no clue how to develop a WR. How many Talented young recievers have come here and never developed? Jacobs comes to mind but There are a few more I'm sure.

Jacobs was flat out never that good. He flamed out in SF and Denver after doing the same here. Rod Gardner and Michael Westbrook are better examples of guys who both had a 1000 yard, 8-9 TD season, and regressed after that. Taylor Jacobs was flat out soft - the guy would be out for 3 weeks with a hangnail. That we passed on Anquan Boldin (and Osi Umenyiora) to draft Spurrier's former Gator still haunts this franchise.

As for Fred Davis, I'm glad to see him finally running with authority after the catch. I had about enough of seeing him try to hurdle every would be tackler in his earlier opportunities. Can't wait to see him operating with Cooley when Chris is healthy again.
