Quote:A Z style receiver for bortles? We don't have one. We have two Solid X receivers that can play slot as well. 

 

I think all of you really underestimate how valuable a true Z really is in this offense. It would put this team over the top. Its why I hope Caldwell keeps drafting WR's every draft. Just for those who don't know what im talking about "Z receiver". A Z receiver is the guy on the outside that goes downfield. He's your burner and usually your best pass catcher. They are incorrectly referred to as "true #1 receivers". Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Dwayne Bowe, etc. They usually are the best receiver on the team. Jimmy Smith, Mike Walker, and Tiquan Underwood were all Z style receivers. High bust rate obviously due to requirement of a complete set of skills

 

They also line up behind the line of scrimmage a few yards opposite of the "Split end or X receiver" as to allow for the TE to be eligible to catch a pass. (This is why speed/Acceleration have to be elite). So yes, I would trade for Johnson but only for a 1st rounder or a 2+3 rounder.
