Quote:I never said we need a receiver the caliber of Bryant and Jones, but we need a competent #1, I don't see it in A-Rob and Lee is always hurt. The Patriots arguably have the best QB & TE of all time (Gronk is also a beast in the run game as a blocker which keeps defenses honest) and the Seahawks have had one of the best defenses in the last 30 years, their path's to success are a bit different. If your receivers don't pose a threat in the pass game it allows D coordinators to simply take away a tight end like Julius Thomas with bracket coverage, the Jaguars were able to take away Greg Olsen (rather easily) yesterday, mainly due to the ineffectiveness of Carolina's receivers.

 

What is Allen Hurns chopped liver?  He was open a few times watching the Game and Blake Bortles chose not to throw to him for whatever reason..

 


Allen Hurns caught 5-of-7 targets for 60 yards Week 1 against the Panthers.


Hurns was basically the Jaguars' only downfield threat against the Panthers. Hurns would have had a long touchdown late in the first quarter, but Blake Bortles' throw forced him out of bounds at the one-yard line. Bortles connected with Rashad Greene for a touchdown two plays later. The clear No. 2 receiver in Jacksonville, Hurns will remain a boom-or-bust WR4 next week against the Dolphins. -Rotoworld
