Let me help clear this up, because I'm not attacking you.
You said:
i never said Pettis doesnt play outside i just said imo hes not good at it.
My response was that his stats are identical inside and outside. That means he's good at both. Or, if you prefer, not good at either.
As for you not comparing him to Quick, how else would one construe this statement?
i disagree imo pettis is not better (than Quick).
But I'm not comparing them either. Pettis is a utility receiver who's proven to be very reliable. Quick is a physical specimen who should be our answer to the X or Z position and stay there for the next 8-10 years. BUT. Until he can do that, Pettis is going to get the majority of the targets because he's demonstrated that he can make the tough grab and fight for the ball in the air. His range and hands are very good. As are Quick's, but he's not nearly as physical on contested balls, so he doesn't get a lot of those opportunities.
Yet.
This should be his year. Because if it isn't, then there's something quite decidedly wrong with his game.
Basicallywhat im saying when it all boils down. Rather it be Britt, Bailey, or Quick i dont see Pettis seeing the field nearly as much as he did last season. I also dont see him getting the 30 something catches he got last season. I will give Pettis this though hes good in the red zone
