We went into the season with a stockpile of guys that could play, and a couple that could really really play. Already we've had to play a game without our #1 and #2, and realistically we've just lost what is probably already our #2B and without question I think the guy who was going to emerge as our unquestioned #2 by the 8-10th game of the season.

No, we had one WR that could really, really play and a bunch of unknowns. Just because people hyped up those unknown wr's doesn't make them the avengers of receivers.

Really, you don't think in just the first few games we saw that Parris Campbell was going to be a very real threat at the WR position?

In the future, possibly. 62 yards in 3 games is not even what we need for WR2 or WR3 numbers right now. You mentioned going into the season in the post I replied to, so I'm assuming you mean the present and not in the future, so no, he's not much of a threat at WR currently. We have one proven good WR

Fair point, but he was definitely on the up-tick. Hell Funches looked promising in his limited time. I do think we HAD a group that could have been a very very solid 1-4/5 and it has been relegated to a dumpster fire by injuries.

I'm just hoping that a we are fortunate in this area post bye. My hope is we get Funchess and PC back in time to have a meaningful impact in the 7 game stretch where we play 4 of 7 against Division foes. Clearly that now dictates if we make the playoffs or not- and to get there, I think we're going to need to see this WR group play to the capabilities they have at least shown signs of.

I think we all just wanted these guys to work out and be great, but in reality they were pretty much unknowns, and still are due to experience or injuries.

The thing that really sucks is seeing someone like Ebron not step up when we have these injuries and really need him. Maybe he'll step up tonight.
