    Fuck Elway

  • Wow... So much hate. Poor babies

    Any comparison of now to 25 years ago to gauge the skill level of our team is Retarded. Compare our WR heights to those of recent, successful teams. Maybe you get the same result, maybe you don't, but at least its relevant (even if some think its not that important to begin with)

    How tall did Seattle's WRs go last year? Harvin, Tate and Baldwin are all under six feet.

  • as in, why I don't worry about our wide receivers at this point.

    Elway had these three receivers, back in the late 80's, for those who don't remember....

    all three were short.

    Mark Jackson was drafted in round 6, and was 5'9", 174 pounds.

    Vance Johnson was drafted in round 1, a surprise, and was the tallest,

    at 5'11", 180.

    And, Ricky Nattiel, who was also 5'9", about the same weight.

    Elway did very well with them.

    Quick, tough guys who could get open very quickly.

    I wouldn't discount the impact of Hawkins this coming season.

    Obviously we'd love to have a big receiver, but I agree that you don't discount smaller guys just because they are small.

    My sleeper WR for us is UDFA Chandler Jones ... a smallish receiver that makes plays.
