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

He's a gloried better version of Avery and people on this board like him cause he will work over the middle.

Difficult and subjective statistic. If we factor in drop rate, we're going to criticize the likes of Johnson, Marshall, etc.

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...

While we're at it...let's not try to get any of these other WRs

What a list of suck!

Calvin Johnson with a 10.29 drop rate. ****ing bust.

PFF might be the worst thing to happen to football statistics.

I didn't imagine Avery 's drop rate was that high in Indy. Damn

I understand what you guys are saying, with PFF being shitty and #1 WRs dropping a lot of balls, I am just pointing out for a forum that was pissing and crying the entire 2013 season at Avery and Bowe dropping key passes in games this year, you guys have a hard on for another WR that is pretty much similar in dropping passes. That's it.

And he's not Calvin Johnson. So trying to compare a talent like that dropping balls to Jeremy Maclin is like saying Lebron James misses as many layups and Kris Humphries

what is his stance on ATM?

From the op

"He has admitted that he may have to take a discounted contract or a one-year deal to prove himself following that big of an injury."

I think he refuses ass to mouth aka ATM so the question is, knowing that, do you still want him

He thinks Johnny Manziel is way overrated.

Jeremy Maclin: YOU NEVER GO ASS TO MOUTH
Chiefs: sometimes, in the heat of the moment, it's forgivable to go ass to mouth
Jeremy Maclin: YOU NEVER GO ASS TO MOUTH

I'm as big a Jeremy Maclin fan as you will find. He's a great guy who works extremely hard and has overcome a lot of bad situations and breaks.

If the price is right, and you can get him at a discount - the incentive-based deal with the big roster bonus at the start of year 2 sounds like a good plan to me - it's a slam dunk.

I really have no doubt that he'll come back strong from this injury. He just works too hard not to come back strong.

Wouldn't put all eggs in the Maclin basket - would still add a WR or TE in the draft - but it could be a nice, underrated FA signing with big-time upside.

My Jeremy Maclin scouting report:

Faster in college than he is in the NFL. Hasn't shown the game-changing explosiveness or speed in the NFL.

Hasn't had any major NFL injuries other than the ACL(tore up his knee in college also, though so that should be a minor concern) but always seems to get shaken up in games. It seems like every game he's always writhing in pain from what looks like routine tackles , then he has to miss a couple plays. Might not be a big deal, but when it happens constantly, it starts to get a tad irritating.

Not an overly big receiver, but uses his body pretty well for his size.

Finds ways to get open in the red zone for TDs.

Pretty good hands


I want the Eagles to keep him, and he'd be a nice addition to the Chiefs, but I would not go crazy for him. He's yet to "break out" and prove that he is more than a #2 receiver in the NFL.

FYP

I'm tired of having "#2 receivers".

I want a GOD DAMN #1 reciever.

Add a WR and TE through the draft and add Maclin

Yeah, his numbers so far dont bear him out as a #1... I think the main reasons most of us want him here are

a) solid speed

b) knows the system

c) will be reasonable with contract demands

Forgot to add that Maclin is also a very willing and capable blocker. It may not mean much to your average fan, but coaches like it.

LMAOLMAOLMAO

GF only - you divorce that bitch if she pulls that after the honeymoon...

If you can't get your hands on a surefire #1, might as well load up on #2/fringe 1 guys. Bowe, Maclin, etc.

Add Maclin, then take Brandin Cooks in the 3rd round.

Cooks will be gone by then. You're looking at Jared Abbredderis and Donte Moncrief in the 3rd IMO.

I wish we still had a 2nd round pick, thats where Cooks would be a great pick.

I like the idea of signing Maclin and drafting another receiver. We obviously need to get more production from the WR position this season and there's no reason to put all of our eggs in one basket.

This team clearly did not believe in the "next man up" philosophy.

We had injuries all year and definitely in the playoffs but when back ups produced they didn't get more touches.

Guys like Hemingway and Jenkins produced when targeted.

Though I held my breath every time he touched the ball every time he was asked to come in Davis balled.

Abdullah was big.

I'm not saying we should make these guys starters but if if they get 20 snaps and produce give them 35...

You have a point. Considering the guys we had in front of them, Hemingway and Jenkins probably should have gotten more playing time.

I was worth it.

Oh! Branden Albert Syndrome!

Get out of here with that bullshit.
