Every receiver entering the nfl needs to get better at route running. Every prospect needs to improve something.

The term "project" is used to describe a guy you don't expect to contribute immediately. Maybe a small school guy a la Brian Quick. Or a Converted position guy. I don't think that is Watkins

Quite frankly, I believe that every NFL rookie is a project. Some just happen to develop faster than others who may or may not develop at all.:D

Yeah, thats exactly what I was getting at. The term "project" is used for guys you're taking a flier on, a guy you think you can coach up and bring out his ability, that isn't expected to contribute right away. If you call everyone that needs to improve something a project than they all are projects technically.

You're holding Watkins to a different standard here. Obviously no one is a sure thing to light up the NFL in their first season. And they all need to improve on some aspects of their games.

Forget badmitton, curling is where the action is. It's international, chic and you can get blitzed while you play. The violent action is tremendous. It takes a lot of talent and intelligence to be a sweeper.

It depends on the version. I'm with you if it's Canadian curling because that's full contact curling.

I'm not a big fan of the Britt thing but if he is brought in with a contract that allows us to cut him if he underwhelms in preseason AND/OR doesn't preclude them from considering a Watkins then I can live with that. IF he makes a top WR obsolete by the signing then I am dead against it. For me he would be Pettis' replacement if he is healthy and productive in camp/preaseason.
 
Lol you say "let's make one thing clear.." Then proceed in discrediting paid draft gurus....OF WHICH YOU ARE NOT!

Is three years that long? Because, let's make one thing clear, Watkins isn't in the same class as AJ Green coming out, no matter what the annual draft hype says.

As for the general positive vibes in this thread, I share them. Then again, I thought that we'd go 13-3 last year, so what do I know?

To me this is the Titus Young mistake all over again.

I guess it is true that those who don't learn from their mistakes are destined to repeat them...

Sign Britt and we can start a poll on when the 10th arrest occurs. :sneaky:

Surely, if we sign him, there will be an out in the contract that terminates deal when he hits double digit arrests?
 
RFIP said:
..this is a terrible signing on several fronts if/WHEN it happens. 1) Eliminates Watkins 2) Cancerizes the young wr's 3) Will "allow" us to draft another bad wr "later in the draft"

And the offensive cycle continues with this coach. Rinse, wash, repeat...

You'd think he learned from Finnegan and Cook but no...LOL and he DOESN'T sign Verner!

It doesn't eliminate anything, especially if he's getting a one year deal.

They don't even know if he can make it through camp let alone supplant the current competition - and judging by the lack of suitors and production from britt, I doubt they're gonna hitch their wagons to him

Brian Quick and Jason Smith have widely been considered "projects"

Wasn't Titus Young simply a waiver claim for the team to kick the tires and see what was going on with him?

Didn't work out. No harm. No foul.

The question was (and will be "IS") why bring that type of player in to your locker room and specifically in to your wr room with so many pups????
 
I like this move. Doesn't hurt to bring in a body to camp, he can be our vet WR (a vet who's 25 is pretty good) who has some upside. Sometimes a change of scenery is good for players, could very well be the case with him. I wouldn't expect too much out of him though honestly, that's getting carried away. But maybe he's a better option then Austin Pettis? Good move if we do sign him.
