It's a shame when Kentucky is considered a big game to some. Please don't give me the line all the games are big. Because we all know some matter more than others.

We had to win that game to get into the SEC championship. The same SEC championship where your boy DMO dropped a touchdown pass. Nobody here is saying he can't catch and shouldn't see the field because of that play. We realize he is still a good reciever. You see what I'm getting at?

Jayson Swain was much better than Austin Rodgers...

In his best year he was plagued with injuries if I'm not mistaken?

Swain's senior year could have been big.

I was at the Cal game that year and he didn't look to slow.

He signed on with the Bears after the draft. If Rodgers makes it to the CFL I'll be surprised.

None the less I hope the excels next season.

Go Vols.

You guys need to ask yourself does AR have any NFL potential? I say no and the NFL scouts will too. We usually line up NFL talent at receiver but for some reason the guys with that type of potential were riding the pine under Fulmer because of a seniority clause.

No, because you're talking about 1 play, and I'm talking about 2 seasons. I don't mean for this to come off as a smart---, but AR isn't the type of quality reciever that we've had around these parts. Yes, the last few years haven't been so bright, but that has a lot to do with why we have revamped our entire coaching staff. Some things have to change, and we need to put a different product on the field. For me, on offense, that starts with AR.

Nobody is saying AR is the next Peerless Price. People are just tired of constantly hearing that he is a horrible reciever, which simply isn't true.

Obviously not. He bounced back against Wisconsin with a productive game. And he didn't have any big drops this past year. I can't see why you guys think Rogers would be more productive than D.Moore. That really confuses me. More speed, better moves, and better hands where's the comparison?

He's horrible enough for many of us to say he shouldn't be starting or see that much playing time.

That was never said. All that was said (and proven) was that AR can be productive.

OK dude, opinions are one thing but facts are another. (and man has this thread ever shown how far the two can stray from one another) I'm going to say this...err, type this slow so you can keep up. Your favorite receiver on this team (at least from your posts) is D Moore.* He was on the field catching passes from the FIRST game of his TRUE FRESHMAN year. He saw the field in EVERY game that year and made the freaking Coaches All-SEC Freshman team. Jones also saw playing time as a FR and would have seen a lot more but for injuries.

Your perceptions of how things are do not make them facts.

*I like Moore too. Hated to see him (and in all honesty all the WR's) basically waste a whole season running around wishing a QB could get them the ball with any consistency.

Let me provide you with a few definitions of the word productive:

-producing or capable of producing (especially abundantly)

-yielding positive results.

I'm not going to say he can produce abundantly. I'm not going to say he yields positive results. To be productive, you have to do things thinks consistently. My friend, AR can't.

What has Gerald Jones shown you?

Absolutely nothin. He's to overhyped to me. People were comparing him to Percy Harvin and all type of stuff. He has the worse juke moves I've seen. He doesn't really deserve all of the touches he gets. He's not a good punt returner either. He's almost on my AR list. I wouldn't be this bad but he talks so much and then he doesn't make any big plays for us in the big games.

He made that team more from kickoff returns than anything and two or three pretty good games. He deserves to start over AR and that's a fact. I'll type SLOW for YOU.

He had 4 returns in 14 games.

I'm still waiting to here how a true Fr plays in all 14 games and another plays as soon as he's healthy enough but they're riding the pine because of a "seniority clause".
