Quote:Shorts better not be the #1 of the future. If that's the case, we've got another hole to fill on this roster because he's not a true #1.

Just out of interest how do you define number one receiver?


its like the definition of elite and franchise QB it is very subjective and rarely defined


to me a number one receiver is the guy that routinely takes on double teams and beats them


Now shorts isn't that guy right now and I won't argue he may never be.


However he has only been dealing with it for a year and has shown flashes of being able to do it and against top corners too


Of the top corners he has played only Peterson has shut him down


His numbers don't show it but he destroyed Jonathan Joseph, so many pi calls in that game and he still would have had a 50 + rd if hennes had hit him wide open on a deep route


He was quite routinely open against Joe Haden and completely skinned him for the td and even looked good against sherman


Add in the groin and shoulder.issue and I don't really see how you can accurately judge his potential especially when you factor in who has beenThrowing him the ball and the talent surrounding him this year
