Little Big Head Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 what are everybodys projections for Royal this year? I know people are knocking him down a peg because he switched from Cutler to Orton, but to me the system is just as important. In this system Welker went for consecutive 100+ rec 1000+yd seasons. I envision Mcdaniels using Royal the same way. I dont see Orton as a guy who cant get Royal the ball. In a conservative offense in Chicago Orton went for just under 3000/18/12 in 15 games and has a 21-12 record overall as a starter. While its true Denver threw the ball last year more than they are likey to throw this year its also true that Welker thrived with much fewer pass attempts than what Denver attempted. I also see a higher upside for Royal vs Welker because of his deep speed. People who say Royal is too small or too weak to become a true WR1, i say that other great WRs were Royals height, and Royal was the strongest WR to come out of the 08 scouting combine in terms of bench press reps. My projection...100 rec 1100yds 6tds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'll buy Royal as Welker when I can believe Orton is Tom Brady. The jury is out on Orton's effect but equating Royal to Welker seems premature to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Never-the-less, I'm buying Royal as a extremely solid PPR WR. Not a #1 but a solid #2. 80-90 receptions is not out of the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 It's not just about the QB but the effectiveness of the system. To me I'll buy this when I buy McDaniels = Bilichek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtdickens Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 From a strategic stand point Welker was used as a substitute for the running game in 2007. The plays they ran for him were set up to act as the running game because they had no running game. I dont think Denver will have that problem with Moreno and the poor run defenses the Broncos will be facing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ernie McCracken Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Maybe Royal is Welker, but Orton sure isn't Brady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'll buy Royal as Welker when I can believe Orton is Tom Brady. Maybe Royal is Welker, but Orton sure isn't Brady. There's an original thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ernie McCracken Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) There's an original thought.

WaterMan Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Is Royal going to get to return kicks/punts? Those returned TDs really helped his stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalas Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'll buy Royal as Welker when I can believe Orton is Tom Brady. The jury is out on Orton's effect but equating Royal to Welker seems premature to me. Orton may not be Tom Brady, but could you believe Orton as Matt Cassell? After all, Welker got his 100 catches last season with him at the helm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
