Pettis started last year and nobody expected it. With this receiver corps I think expecting the unexpected would be wise play

Yeah, that was because Pettis looked good in camp then proved ineffective in that role as the season went on. He then was passed by others. I don't foresee the Rams regressing in that aspect.

I don't think the talent gap between Britt and Quick is as wide as you think.
None of Quick's struggles has been because of talent.
Thanks for the insight. A lot of talk type shows are that way. If you don't know the shtick, you are left wondering WTF until you listen a few times.
How do you know that? For all you know, they picked up Britt because they knew in advance they wouldn't have Stedman for 4 weeks.
Right. I really like listening to The Morning After. It's total grab ass but it's entertaining for the morning. I love the banter and they definitely don't take themselves seriously. It's definitely for a niche crowd that's followed them around.
Personally, I get sick and tired of radio stations plugging in ex-athletes for commentary on every sport when it's obvious they did an internet search the night before and are just re-hashing what they read. I read it too. How about a fresh take? Ever heard Chris Duncan try to talk anything other than baseball? Same goes for D'marco Farr, although he has a decent knowledge of basketball.
I dunno man. I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that you don't think much of our receivers. I could be wrong but it's just this feeling I get. I'm usually pretty quick on the uptake but here I'm just not sure. Maybe if you made a few more posts clarifying your position on how fucked up our regime is when it comes to evaluating and drafting receiver talent. Y'know - cuz it's not getting old in the slightest and I'm sure no one knows how you feel on this one subject.
To be fair, dude, I don't think drafting Robinson was a case of "out smarting everyone". Most everyone not in Rams fandom had the Rams going with Robinson.
And you know I also felt #1 WR was a need point. I personally just think they felt Robinson was BPA, and by the time they picked again, both Watkins and Evans were already gone, and our current crop was already better than what was left.
Isn't it a pretty safe assumption that Britt was brought in once Fisher and company became aware that Bailey was going to eventually serve a suspension?
This was my thought anyway. I guess i'm just not buying into the idea that Britt was brought in with the idea that he was a sure-fire upgrade at WR.

That is definitely a good point.
There is really only one thing that I think is certain with our corps...Tavon Austin will be a starter in some capacity.
You had me until your very last sentence.
I think our current crop is poor with only Austin and Bailey (if he can stay drug free) as potentially good players.
It would not shock me in the least if the other 3 are out of football all together in two years a la Gilyard and Salas.
I guess that's where we disagree. I thought we needed a #1, but that would have turned our current guys awesome.
Quick's the only one I really worry won't come to anything. Givens just needs to return to form. Pettis is Pettis.
