Brentastic Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Not sure if you ever take suggestions on what topics to write about. I'd love to see an article on which WRs fall into the 2-4 year category this season. I'm too busy to do all the research and that's what I pay you guys for anyways I remember seeing a 3 year article last season (I think), however I think having the 2-4 year range is more useful. I think we all know that most WRs breakout during this range, it's not exclusively the 3rd year. Anyways, I'd love to see this in the next week (before my drafts) - if you can produce it, that would be great, if not, well at least I tried.

DMD Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 In case I do not get around to that article: 4th year players: Brandon Jones Braylon Edwards Mark Bradley Mark Clayton Matt Jones Reggie Brown Roddy White Roscoe Parrish Troy Williamson Vincent Jackson 3rd year players: Brandon Marshall Chad Jackson Derek Hagan Devin Hester Greg Jennings Santonio Holmes Sinorice Moss Travis Wilson 2nd year players: Anthony Gonzalez Calvin Johnson Craig Davis Dwayne Bowe Dwayne Jarrett Jacoby Jones Laurent Robinson Robert Meacham Sidney Rice Steve Smith (NYG) Ted Gin Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, some WRs are much better (and further ahead) than others, so that bump up will of course be relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I have been waiting for Mark Clayton to break out but he hasnt yet. I am hoping the new offense will change this. He has shown flashes of brialliance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) I have been waiting for Mark Clayton to break out but he hasnt yet. I am hoping the new offense will change this. He has shown flashes of brialliance He took a pretty significant step back in '07, after having 67 grabs for nearly 1,000 yards (939) and 5 TDs in '06. Baltimore now has three somewhat-viable options at QB. Boller might get the chance to finally step up.... and if he doesn't, I think Troy Smith can be effective. I bolded Clayton because I think he might have a chance at '06 numbers if the QB situation has any stability this year. And that'd be a big bump up from his '07 stats.

kingfish247 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I think Sidney Rice is also definitely one to keep an eye on. In a different situation (better overall QB play, less run heavy offense) we would be talking about him a lot more. It sounds like he's doing all the right things to improve himself as well.

Atlanta Cracker Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 The guys in bold are WRs I can see taking their game to the "next level". Obviously, some WRs are much better (and further ahead) than others, so that bump up will of course be relative. That's a pretty good start for a sleeper list. How would you rank those? For me based on pure instinct: Roddy White Calvin Johnson Dwayne Bowe Anthony Gonzalez Vincent Jackson M. Clayton D. Hagan B Jones C. Jackson M. Bradley Meacham Ginn jr. D. Hester L. Robinson M. Bradley I know a little less about some situations so I'm probably off on a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathpig Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 It's Colston's third year as well (though I'm not sure if he was disqualified from this list for any particular reason). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 If VJax can just stay healthy, he should be a productive wide-out for his owners this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Chad Jackson is a forgotten man - hasn't done anything in NE yet. I wonder if BB will get him some balls this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Chad Jackson is a forgotten man - hasn't done anything in NE yet. I wonder if BB will get him some balls this year? I got cracked on for saying he'd break the UF jinx a few years ago. I held off last year 'cuz he was off 'n on injured and Gaffney/Stallworth (a pair of competent vets) were in his way. Now he has an average Gaffney in his way and he could easily surpass him. This could be the year. Ack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Please elaborate on that. To prove he will be a bust or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 oh, I thought he already proved he was a bust? He will be when he is out of the league. This is his last chance. Nice kid, but can't catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
