The WR Corp has come a long way

[gogoat1]

Woods is fast, Cooks is very fast. Take that speed away and if gets much harder. McVay wanted Cooks for a reason.
Rams WRs would suck if they were a bunch a Brandon Gibsons.

Going from Quick, Britt, Austin, Handbricks, and Cook to Brandin Cooks, Woods, Kupp, Everett, and Higbee is night and day.

Coaching makes the world of difference too

In 5 years that was the best fisher could come up with. Mcvay fixed it in one off-season.

That's why I don't get bent about the Sammy Watkins rental. It was so worth it when you think of where they were coming from.

How mad do you think A Rodgers is right now. The Rams turned their WR corps around in one year. While they waste his prime. Shame.

Well and the offense they run isn't exactly keeping up with the McVays.

I'm sure playing the Rams only made it worse.

I said awhile ago that McVay would get other coaches fired and McCarthy is likely the highest profile if not the first to go.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they fired him the moment they don't qualify for the playoffs.

Give me the 4.6 guy that knows exactly how he's gonna attack the D.

Woods ran a 4.51 so you describe him here very well. His route running is excellent and he has great hands.

Not to mention he isn't afraid of the middle of the field which is a spot McVay likes to punish..........and Woods is a really good downfield blocker. This team hasn't had a good downfield blocker since Bailey and before that Bruce.

Mcvay fixed it in one off-season.

Two, but still the first year of work was excellent for sure.

Probably, and Snead is going to get some GM's fired too. Owners are going to think to themselves "why aren't my guys doing that shit too!".

 

[Farr Be It]

Our WR corps is light years ahead of the ‘16 version.

Absolutely no comparison, really.

We went from...

a dead....

rotting....

corpse....

to a vibrant receiving Corps!!

From a chalk outline...

to a chalk outline...

I hate seeing Gibson trashed, even to this day. He was a fairly productive receiver with good skills, playing with utter garbage at QB.

He left here and was having a really good 2013 season in 6.125 games with Miami before blowing out his knee.

Would love to see what he could have done on a good team with a good QB.

Our wide receiver corps have come a very long way. Still, I can't help but feel bad for Stedman. Imagine what he could've done in McVay's system. Don't get me wrong; I love what we have nowadays. I just wish that Stedman was there to enjoy it.

Good as the receivers are they would not be the same without Goff. Imagine our receiving corps with any number of other NFL qbs and you would not get the same result.
