My Prediction For Breakout WR This Season

[SeeingRed]

I was very impressed with Hemingway last year and wished he saw the field more. Hopefully this year he gets some more play. Between him seeing the field more and Kelce coming back I can see this offense open up a bit more. Sure handed WRs are always good in my book.

I think Hemingway has some talent. Plus he catches the damn ball. I watched that 2nd denver game last year in Arrowhead and watched Avery make like 3 or 4 key drops that couldve helped us win that game. Throw it to the guy who will catch it. Hemingway catches the football.

[Discuss Thrower]

Hemingway will be a case study on whether or not performance at the scouting combine correlates to in game production...

Because (and I'm Qing myself here) he's as fast as McCluster while being taller, stronger and (likely) more agile.

[Dunerdr]

He's Dwayne bowe but doesn't play physical like bowe. And probably doesn't drop it. As much. He could make a decent possession guy in the slot. Personally I'd like to see Jenkins work on his hands and be a guy from the slot that could put a defense on their ass.

[MahiMike]

I thought he would break out last year. This year I'm going with deanthony Thomas. He's our new mcCluster.

[Easy 6]

I'd rather see Jenkins start to live up to his #1 pick status.

That's who I'll be cheering on.

[John Dope]

I really like Hemmingway. It would be nice to see him step up and eventually take over for Bowe.

[Skyy God]

My pick...... Chad Hall.

[Three7s]

My pick...... Chad Hall.
My pick?

No one.

[KC native]

marginally.

[MagicHef]

Can I pick someone who doesn't need to depend on Alex Smith to get him the ball?

Dustin Colquitt. I hear he's pretty good. Better than his brother, even.

[MagicHef]

I'm pretty sure he caught every ball that came his way last season.

[The Franchise]

Bowe.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Is anyone really gonna be shocked if Bowe racks up 1,000 this year? I won't, and that alone would go a long way.

[Discuss Thrower]

Yes, because JC will be the first look on most pass plays and it seems that Andy Reid's offense focuses on distributing the ball around 4+ receivers a game.

[suzzer99]

I really think this is the year Terrence Copper gets it all going.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Yes, because JC will be the first look on most pass plays and it seems that Andy Reid's offense focuses on distributing the ball around 4+ receivers a game.

If Bowe has just 3 of those 150 yard games like Indy, he will only need to average 42 yards a game. I can see it pretty easily even if the HB's and TE's are used mostly.

He was a solid gunner..... yeah.... :doh!:

[MagicHef]

It would be a little surprising, since Alex has never managed to produce a 1,000 yard receiver before.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

He would have with Crabtree in 2012 before getting hurt, he was on pace to anyways.

I see this all the time.....


What the hell is Qing?

[saphojunkie]

Brandin Cooks.

[MagicHef]

No he wasn't. 440 yards through 8 games extrapolates to 880 yards.

If you want to include what he did in the St Louis game, he threw to Crabtree for 499 yards through 8.5 games, extrapolating to 939 yards.

Besides, injuries/being replaced by your backup are part of the game. Alex has never thrown to a receiver for 1000 yards.

[Dunerdr]

Noob bitch

It means a re-post.

[Discuss Thrower]

150 yards in a playoff game by Bowe was in the top 50 of all time.

Of course, T fucking Y Hilton's 224 yards is good enough for the third highest in any postseason game, but that's beside the point.


Because an elite WR in Calvin Johnson has only had two seasons where he's had higher 150 or more yards in multiple games.

[Mr. Laz]

I was one of the few that was high on Hemingway coming out of college. My hopes have been dropping ever since.

He looks slow and sluggish, rumors about him having difficulty understanding the pro game.

:shrug:

Three 150+ yard games in a season is huge. Really huge.

Michael Irvin, Marvin Harrison, Roddy White, Reggie Wayne, Anquan Boldin, and Larry Fitzgerald have never had three 150+ yard games in a season.

[SeeingRed]

Bowe.

:thumb: I hear you....I'm liking that he has lost 10 lbs and came into camp into better shape. Good sign. I think guys like Hemingway, Jenkins and Kelce stepping up and producing can also open things up for Bowe a but. I think our WR corps is a bit underrated....at least I hope so. I think a BIG part of this season will come down t our O line and our secondary to be honest.

Touche, but let's translate that to five 90 yard games.

[tecumseh]

After careful consideration, I'd like to see Jenkins step up. I'd make Avery carry a football everywhere he goes so he knows what one feels like in his hands.

[TLO]

Do we have a small white guy who we can unfairly compare to Wes Welker? If so, I choose him.

[Easy 6]

No he wasn't. 440 yards through 8 games extrapolates to 880 yards.

He had the best year of his career on a brand new team in a brand new system, not only does that tell me his best is yet to come, 1000 yard receiver and all... it also tells me **** denver.

[lcarus]

And if not we need to get one. Makes preseason games so much more fun.

[beach tribe]

Am I the only one who doesn't think Hemmingway is some untapped keg of talent?
I have the feeling DeAntny and Jenkins are going to get more playing time.
Reid likes speedsters and quick guys in the slot.
I'm really not expecting much at all from Jr.

[beach tribe]

Bowe will get 1000 this season.
Like I said before, his huge ego is going to benefit the team this season.

Ditto... he's not particularly big nor particularly fast, there isnt one thing that seems special about him, he is the gray man.

Jenkins? oh yeah, we're definitely both sailing the same high speed boat there. If he can stay healthy he's got Eddie Kennison written all over him, looks JUST like him in action.

Bowe will get 1000 this season.
Like I said before, his huge ego is going to benefit the team this season.

Agreed, he will now that Alex has some faith in him and you're right, this O needs a lil swag and Bowe is capable of providing that.

[Shekelsteinberg]

That's who I'll be cheering on.

This, but I have no idea how he got rated so high to be a first rounder.

[Easy 6]

Well, he atleast in some fashion dominated a major - Big 10 - conference with his running ability and speed, that's how.

His routes look a bit loopy right now and his football stride looks like a young gazelle that's lucky to be within the pack, he also usually looks awkward reaching for the catch... but this guy to me looks like a latter bloom Eddie Kennison.

Keep throwing him in the fire, Mr. Moneyjew.

[MagicHef]

Hey, anything's possible. Maybe he'll get his 5th career 300 yard game, even. That would be special.

Because San Fran needed the player were hoping he'll become.

[AustinChief]

For those that don't like Hemingway... here are his measurables...

6'1" - Ok this one is average.
4.5 40 yard dash - also average
9 5/8 hands - average again

Now the rest get better....

225 weight - guy can take some hits
6.59 3 cone drill - best at the combine
3.98 20 yd shuttle - best at the combine
11.16 60 yd shuttle - best at the combine

The only real knock on him is that he has trouble learning the system quickly, which should be fine now that he has had a year

The only stellar thing about him is that he can FLAT OUT CATCH. He has better ball awareness than anyone on the team. Yes, better than Bowe. Oh and he is miles ahead of Bowe on blocking.

The problem is, he isn't going to replace Bowe so that makes him a bit redundant when we really need a speed guy. But he plays effectively inside and out so I'd be surprised if he doesn't see a ton more snaps this year regardless.

Been saying this since the '14 combine.

I only meant to say lets keep testing him, dudes a late bloomer I'd swear on it.

[milkman]

Yeah, I ain't going to hold my breath.

[milkman]

I just can't wait for Junior Baldwin to break out.

[el borracho]

Has anyone ever in 9 years used the term "breakout WR" to refer to a receiver on an Alex Smith team?

[Shekelsteinberg]

Arnaz Battle, Michael Crabtree, Kyle Williams, and AJ Jenkins... Alexs fault, mirite?

[Why Not?]

Lance Long

[SeeingRed]

And of course Kelce can also be a difference maker if his knee stays healthy. A stud pass catching TE is something we were missing last year.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I really think this is the year Terrence Copper gets it all going.


LMAO

[Mr. Laz]

This is about my last hope for him.

Maybe he is looking slow and sluggish because he's slow at learning the system. Hopefully once he gets it, he will look like completely different guy.

I was so happy when we got him out of college. *crossing fingers*

[lcarus]

I only meant to say lets keep testing him, dudes a late bloomer I'd swear on it.

I'm holding you to that!

They just gotta keep polishing that kid, he's super raw but has all of the tools.
