They can make it their goal to be the #1 for all I care. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

Every time we bring in new receivers, we hear the same thing from Green... he has to reach a comfort level where he can trust they'll be in the spot that he throws the ball to. Lions coaches were saying early in the year that Rogers was just plain too dumb to pick up the offense. So not only do we need him to learn an offense that he already struggled with, we also need him to do it getting at best a share of the #3 snaps, and build a rapport with Green at the same time. All the while being short one man on STs.

Yea I'd like Hall to see less plays at receiver. Yea I'd like to improve the WR corps in general. But IMO it's a little late to be bringing in a guy to do that this season. We could have had a solid possession guy like Joe Jurevicious for a relatively cheap price, but we chose to go with what we have. We're stuck with that now. JMO.
