we talk so much about QB's all the time, so here's a good discussion about why WR's struggle so much coming into the league



“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Everything CC said was spot on. It’s a huge part of Coleman’s lack of success.

I thought it was simply because a star WR in college might not play against a star CB all season, or maybe only once. However, when he's finally in the NFL, there are TONS of them every game. All of a sudden, everything got quicker, tighter, rougher and they're now on a bigger stage.

If I had to fathom a guess, I’d say route running has gone downhill big time in college.

IMO, route running. It's not as easy to get open.


In college the guys can round off routes and still be open. If you round them in the pro's, most DB's can make up any lost ground, if not totally get under the route. QB's don't like it when a DB gets under the route after he has thrown the ball because people think he made a mistake by throwing a pick, when in reality lazy route running was the cause.


If college you can wait for the ball to get to you. In the pro's, receivers need to be able to come back on the hitch and use their body to check the defender.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

The NFL is far more precise than college is. It's harder to get by "just" on talent in the NFL. WRs have to be talented and precise.

I don't know if it is more precise, at least on paper, but when the play happens, defenders sure are a lot closer.....well, unless it was last years Browns. wink
