Do we have the best receiving corps in the NFL with Harvin?

[formido]

Yep, a top tier receiving corps. Folks who are tuned in to advanced stats know this, but folks who still mostly rely on the "eye test", cumulative stats, or outdated "categories" of receivers sometimes won't.

Where our WRs are best is clutch... very few drops.

That ranks very high in my book.

 

[ImTheScientist]

I would trade for Denver's

Agreed. And they've made some spectacular, clutch catches. But they don't get good separation nearly often enough. It seems like Russell has to throw into some pretty tight windows.

But for this team, our WR corps is plenty good enough to get us a Lombardi.

 

[Erebus]

Tony Romo has a great group to throw to, too, with Dez Bryant, Miles Austin, and Mark Whitten.

Ahh, Mark Whitten. Man what a hitter, at least for a short time. I still remember that 600 foot grand slam he hit against the Twins back in 96 (officially 460ish, but everyone knew it was much longer).

Anyway, back on topic. Our WR corp was top 10-15 before Harvin, but who knows what impact he will have. He could put us in the top five, but I don't think the stats will ever reflect that with how much we pass.

Best? No. Underrated? Definitely.

 

[jblaze]

I'm not sure about the best, but certainly one that works well in our system. Wilson is a great deep ball passer and we get a lot of good opportunities from our play action. These guys may not be the tallest, but they do a good job boxing out and catching the ball at the highest point and timing the jumps. Give our pass system where we don't really emphasize one guy over another, they all do very well in their respective roles. They just fit our system well.

Don't forget Cincinnati...

AJ Green
Marvin Jones
Mohammed Sanu
Tyler Eiffert
Jermaine Gresham
Gio Bernard (great pass catcher)

 

[Smelly McUgly]

The Broncos and Bears are two teams with WR corps that I would take over ours, to be fair. Maybe ATL if Julio Jones was healthy.

 

[Hawks46]

Who's got it better than us?

Denver. At least when it comes to WRs. They have the best WRs in the game....Demyrius Thomas, Decker, Welker and their TE Thomas is much more explosive than Miller (Miller is more solid all around, which is a better fit here, but Thomas is lighting everyone up).

So to answer the OP, no, we don't have the best WRs in the league.

 

[griffonks]

I'm not sure Denver's receivers would be better for RW. Denver's receivers are matched to Manning. The qb made or remade them to fit his style. Also Welker, though not on IR, had a concussion last week.

God I'd hate jumping for receptions in the middle of the field. Especially against the Chiefs, Panthers, or the Hawks.

Sorry. I got my sports mixed up.

 

[The Great Hawktini]

Denver.

Green Bay when healthy.

Possibly the Saints.

I like Atlanta's better than ours (with Julio).

Indy with Watyne, Hilton and the TE's is pretty good.

I think we are average really, but we excell at catching the contested ball. Not good in separating, not really a speed group, not really big, but we catch the ball and can run.

What's more important then catching the ball and moving the chains? The Nfl is littered with guys that are burners,who couldn't catch the clap in a brothel.
I will take our guys.
