For the Hurns and A Rob it looks like they just went by the numbers on their college roster instead of using combine measurements.


It's odd because for Lee they used his combine measurements.

 

Whoever puts that on the site probably just asks the player what size he is and they give one of those or the other.

I hate the "#1" that everybody here goes nuts about. Neither of the teams in the SB had a "#1", and the last time the Pats had one they lost to the Giants.

You and me both. Can't stand that rhetoric. Although number 1s tilt the field, they're not necessary for success. Having a competent group is much more vital and we seem to have a nice young nucleus...

Oh man.... I was at that game this year and stood up because I was ready for the TD only to be told to sit back down since he dropped it....

That is from the Jags website which could be inflating those numbers but if it 2 inches off that makes lee and shorts only 5'10

Hurns measured 6'1" at the combine

Gronk says high. May not be a WR but he is a true #1 option just like Graham in New Orleans. I agree you don't need a typical "#1" WR but you do need a true go to guy.

---

I don't care if Hurns' is a #1 or a #3. The guy produced. Yes, he knew the system but he still ran good routes too. Work on the hands and Hurns .ca be a good Jag for awhile. I pray Blackmon comes back in shape and (most importantly) with his head on straight. Our WR Corp will be solid

---

"Expect for the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes."

 

ARob is our best WR and I don't even think it's close.

You are right.

---

I think there are things to dislike and like about all our potential receivers


Allen r has the best chance if making it in the nfl


lee will be the best receiver if he does make it


Hurns has done well to be on an nfl roster and produce but i think his ceiling is close to where he is now


Blackmon has the biggest chance to break our hearts again and i have to go with harry from third rock from the sun fool me once shame on you fool me six times shame on me


either way i wouldn't sign an fa or draft a wideout above the 4th as we have other needs on the roster we already have a high potential trio and if Blackmon can stay clean add a vet in and the rookies will struggle for playing time

some of you guys are just...

 

an undrafted rookie allen hurns

 

in a pathetic offensive scheme

 

with a rookie qb

 

with a top 10 worst O line of all time 

 

with no rb

 

with other rookie wideouts to "help him" learn

 

and this garbage coaching staff

 

did what he did for the season including having his first 2 catches go for touchdowns with super star chad henne throwing to him

 

all of this against starting nfl corners and safeties

 

and you people down play it..

 

smh

People and networks confuse #1 WR just like they confuse Franchise QB and Elite QB. The designation #1 is usually the single WR on one side. but the #1 has been collectivly uesd to describe the top receiver. and like the QB thing the debate will rage on until the network idiots decide to call it something else.

---

I guess I'm like most of the jags fans who've been here since the start; I tend to measure everyone against Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell. And so far, everyone's come up pretty short too. I understand (as 'Paksat' pointed out in an earlier post) that our current receivers aren't currently playing with the same level of play makers around them that Jimmy and Keenan had. Just the opposite; they themselves are rookies, playing with rookies, being coached (mostly) by rookies.

 

Still, given the degree of... difficulties... they've faced, I'm pretty encouraged by what I've seen. Keeping in mind what our receivers of the not so recent past have done, I'll be encouraged if we can see the same guys on the field again... and without any legal dark clouds hanging over them.

I y'ams who I y'ams and thats all I y'ams...

A big challenge is going to be what we see on offense for the team next year.  I think Fisch had some creative approaches but darn that paired down playbook was beat like a drum.  I understand that is what you can expect when it is rookies and 2nd years everywhere but more needed to be done.

 

It seemed like the focus was never on what we could do and it was always will take what we get.

 

EDIT:

So the new staff has work to do.

Fans deserve better. Thanks for all the good times too many are in the past.

yeesh!

I can see the rationalization now that if this upcoming seasons results are still poor that it will be blamed on the newness of the coaching staff, particularly the OC. While I can understand the reasoning behind it, I just don't think that Gus is going to get the benefit of the doubt again if were not even able to reach 6-10 after three full seasons. Other teams have to deal with difficulties and unexpected contingencies and so also must the Jags. If they can't reach 6-10 by this point, somethings wrong with the plan.

I agree with this guy. Marquise Lee and Allen Robinson may be better athletes or have more potential, but it all comes down to production and Allen Hurns was extremely productive, especially for an undrafted rookie. You don't do the things Hurns did as an undrafted rookie unless you have talent. It will be interesting to see how he progresses next year.

He had a great rookie year especially for an undrafted WR... still trying to figure out how or why he went undrafted.

I wont get into heart, because who can judge the intentions of a man & its not fair to say I'm sure they all want it bad but it comes down to execution & Hurns executed better then the rest of them with the same amt of opportunities.

Yes, good way of putting it. We have 3 talented young receivers. The fact that we are arguing over who is the best one is really good IMO.

Shock the world

You nailed it.  The jags don't have that go to guy every good QB has.  We need to find one.

Not making an excuse, but a not blocked FG here or a not dropped pass there, and we win 6 games this past season. With the second worst ranked offense in the league we were in every game to the end of the 4th besides like 3 or 4. Should have beat the Tacks, Tinhorns 2nd game, Bengals, hell even the second Indy game we were in it till late. The record is what it is, and that 3 games, but a slightly more competent offense and we would have won 6-7 pretty easily.
