Ok I’ll say it: Woods, Cooks and Kupp are a quality and proven group of receivers. Top 5 easily.

Our tight end group might be unproven, but Gurley is either #1 or 2 (L Bell) in the NFL as a receiver out of the backfield.

Why set parameters for best receiver groups that include tight ends but not the running backs?

In the hoopla of NFL rule changes with the kickoff did we all miss the new rule that running backs are now ineligible receivers? No.

So why eliminate the running back when rating receiver groups? Renders the ratings meaningless.

I mean, it’s like saying: Hottest actresses of the ‘80s! (Except for the face)
1. Jamie Lee Curtis.

Ok. But the face is kind of a big deal. In NFL passing game, so is the running back.

Would you have preferred me use a word like "the majority"? And I said the offense, not receptions/passes. But thanks for illustrating my point, our RB is our top receiver. So our receivers won't get the respect many are hoping for

You're absolutely correct. The offense does run through Todd Gurley. He's the straw that stirs the drink so to speak. I merely wanted to remind that our receiving corps was quite proficient last season as well.

A good running game makes life easier for the receivers and good receivers who can get open and hold on to the ball make life easier for running backs as well. It's a symbiotic relationship.
