For all of Gibson's faults (not knowing where the 1st down line is) and making boneheaded plays too often, Gibson was at least fairly athletic. Far more than Pettis.
Pettis plays a stiff, slow game. Won't shake a guy or really contest a 50/50 ball. Our WR corps, such as it is, has him as starter only on experience. He's a fine 4th or 5th WR you bring in on RZ packages imo. That's about it. Or desperate 3rd downs when you need size and length of the field.
What he's accomplished so far, is pretty much is NFL ceiling imo. He's peaked already.
Man was Spags crap at drafting offensive players.
Gibson and Pettis are like, polar opposites.
Gibson is athletic and can make plays, so much so that he'd be a good addition to a team if he could just get his head in the game, which he just can't seem to do. He can go out and catch 35 yarders all day, but then he'll have them all taken back because he lined up illegally.
While Pettis is rigid and stiff and only good for possession, but he's smart and knows what to do and makes a team better simply by being a guy who you can count on to grab the ball and hold onto it when you need it, he's a short possession guy.
Neither of them were or are the guys we need right now though, just goes to show how good we are at drafting number 2s and 3s.
