Haley verbally stomped Bradley on his effort of not getting the first down when Bradley made the catch, was stood up by one defender while running parallel to the marker allowing another defender to come in and cleanup. Hiring two receivers in the last week is evident to me that Bradley is on the hot seat.

He also made the huge catch to keep us in the game. I don't believe Haley is pleased with Bradley about a couple of plays, but I believe he still starts unless Wade can step-up.

That was a ****ing GREAT throw and catch. Beautiful play to watch.

I would also add that Looney's report is from 6:00 A.M. The news report about Long signing is listed at 9:34 A.M., three hours LATER.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything (see Eddie Royal). It's tough to be the #1 at that size, but that doesn't mean they can't play a big role in an offense.

2 inches shorter than Long AND Wade. He must suck!

Or... You must not watch much of the NFL.

If they can get open and catch the ball, I don't care if they are 5 ft.

Wes Welker, Lance Moore, DeSean Jackson... size doesn't matter, at least that's what I keep telling myself.

Randy Moss Height: 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) Weight: 210 lb (95 kg)
Reggie Wayne Height: 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) Weight: 198 lb (90 kg)

Larry Fitzgerald Height: 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) Weight: 217 lb (98 kg)
Anquan Boldin Height: 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) Weight: 217 lb (98 kg)


you guys gave me 3 and I could keep going if I wanted
my point is the Haley is used to success with two elite receivers who can manhandle the corners and safeties
general thought is that if the receiver is taller than the corner he has a better chance to catch the football
or are you not familiar with common sense?

the reason I put rice and irvin in there is not because I think all the people I listed are equally talented but they are considered two of the better wrs to play the game

Steve Smith

Santonio Holmes
Santana Moss
DeSean Jackson
Lance Moore
Devin Hester
Lee Evans
Ted Ginn
Donnie Avery

Of course there's going to be more quality big receivers. They have a natural advantage. But talent is infinitely more important.

You do realize that we're not expecting Wade or Long to be our #1 receiver.....right?

Haley coached Steve Breaston last year and he is exactly 1 inch taller/3 pounds heavier than Lance Long.
A difference that is probably pretty difficult to notice from eyeballing them.

For every great Wide Receiver who is 6' or taller I can name two bums equally as tall/big.

It's the talent that ultimately makes the difference.

Stop with this... Please.
