Oh, balls. That's upsetting.

This. I'm not sure why people are acting as if an ACL injury is a death sentence. Christ, our best player came back from one with ZERO ill effects.

I think adding Maclin to Bowe and Avery would be a nice upgrade, especially for the cap dollars invested.

WR would be hard to solve through the draft anyway, because it takes a WR a few years before they really contribute, most of the time.
Exactly. IMO, they should sign Maclin AND address the position in the draft.

This. What is so hard to understand about this? We'd get a proven vet in the very system we're running on the cheap. Yeah, he may be rusty at first, but that's what training camp and preseason is for, no?

Bowe, Maclin, McCluster, Jenkins, and a rookie could make a formidable group, especially considering how the offense evolved towards the end of the season. It certainly would be the strongest that group has been in years upon years.

I hope we sign Maclin and Cooper, just to see the heads explode around here. :evil:

Riley Cooper – His catch rate was not that good for his first 3 years in the NFL, but then he did not get that many opportunities. I think he might be a player that will continue to improve with experience.

I would think that the Eagles would try and keep him. Any player that KC signs will probably have to be club friendly contracts at least for 2014.

Maclin has great hands and is tough as shit, as well as providing the ability to stretch the field.

Add him and legit. option at TE, and this offense, seemingly, is loaded.

Asinine to claim that acquiring Maclin would be a bad or even uninspiring move.

Maclin's "great hands" is kind of fools gold

his drop rate is on par with Bowe and Avery

Quote:
Over his career Maclin has dropped one in ten of the balls that were deemed catchable. In 2012 (his last season) that percentage was actually 11.7%. As a point of comparison, since PFF has been keeping stats, Dwayne Bowe has dropped 11.5% of his catchable passes and Donnie Avery has dropped 12.1% of his. So the numbers say that Maclin wouldn’t be much of an upgrade (if any) over their current WRs in terms of drops.
He's a gloried better version of Avery and people on this board like him cause he will work over the middle.

DeezNutz 01-20-2014 02:15 PM
Difficult and subjective statistic. If we factor in drop rate, we're going to criticize the likes of Johnson, Marshall, etc.

Cooper seems more of the Alex Smith type than Maclin.
Wut? Are people serious?

This is Cooper's first season with over 315 yards. Maclin's worst season was 773 yards!

Definitely do not want if that's the case then.

Agreed 100%

And the people against this move are a definite minority.

No Macklin is better with catch rate...
