I think the trio of Lucas Taylor, Josh Briscoe, and Austin Rogers would make up our most unathletic trio ever. And guys Rogers shouldn't be on the field on third down. He's not reliable. His best clutch catch was against UCLA. And he had big key drop on a deep ball in that one. I'm just tired of this guy. If he can't take it all the way get him off the field. The job of the offense is to score. If he doesn't show the ability to be a touchdown maker then get him off the field. He just doesn't have it guys. You want to make him fit but he doesn't.

Make HIM fit???

Dude, I have never, nor do I immediately recall anybody else claiming AR as some "home run" threat. It is not his role. Oh sure if a D completely busts and he goes then great but that's not what he's about. I don't know any other WR on this squad that has shown his willingness to go across the middle for example. It is not AR's defenders that are trying to make him into something he isn't, you are. Let him be who he is. I would LOVE for him to have another 50/600 season for us as the #2 or #3 guy. That means somebody else (Moore/Jones/Paige/ whoever) is making their plays as well, hopefully doing their job down the field.

So do you think that he will be the most productive receiver on the team this year?

nobody know who's going to produce and who isn't but all im sayin is of the recievers this year he's the only one that has a productive season under his belt granted he is prob. the oldest but at least he's proven that he can do it

Got his hands on it. Just didn't pull it in. Also with his supposedly 4.4 speed he should of tracked it down it wasn't really that far out there.

Its been awhile since I've seen the play, but I remember him being about 5 yards past any DB. Yet, the ball was still overthrown where he had to lay out for it and got his fingers on it.

Not many teams can line 4 WRs up and expect all of them to turn slants into 70 yard TDs.

Florida, USC, Texas, LSU, OSU, Georgia, and the rest of the elite programs expect you to take it to the house. We used to have expectations like that. But now all some of us want are chain movers.

Percy Harvin and Riley Cooper were the only Florida WRs to have a reception for over 50 yards, and Coopers long was only 51.

LSU had one receiver with a reception over 70yds this season, GA had none.

Do you spend a lot of time playing Madden or something? For some reason your football mentality seems horribly skewed to the idea of everybody is supposed to run 4.2 40's and every play expected to go the distance. Reality just isn't a video game. The SEC's best:
Catches per game- 5.4 (K McKinley, SC)
Yards per game- 74.1 (AJ Green, GA)

I'm not saying that the play will go 70 yards every play. I want someone to have that type of ability when they catch the ball. To at least have a chance after a missed tackle. Also 4.4 speed is good enough as long as you play that fast when the pads are on. AR doesn't have good football speed period.

But they weren't the only players that could take it the distance. Louis Murphy and Deonte Thompson could take it to the house also if a guy missed a tackle.

USC had Patrick Turner, LSU had LaFell, OSU had Robiskie. Plenty of great teams have solid players that make big contributions that are not a threat to take it to the house. Florida is really the only team you mentioned that has a roster of guys that can. As much as you would like it to be, real college football is not the same as EA Sports football where the only thing that matters is speed.

This is in no way a defense of Rogers. I think we can do much better. However, the notion that great teams shouldn't have possession receivers who aren't necessarily a deep threat is absolutely ridiculous and out of touch with reality.

Those guys are big and consistent. Lafell is the one I worry about the most but he's improved on his drops.
