Think about it, Watkins, Landry, Woods, Kupp. After the season Landry, Woods, Reynolds, Kupp. We also need a TE badly. We need to prep ourselves for that Super Bowl run this season!

I also want T.Y Hilton @jrry32

Receiver is a strength for this team right now as we currently are overstocked at the position. If anything, we need to add to our defensive front.

Why? It's already a crowded room and while he's a good player it will take time to learn the offense and to acclimate. WR is a spot I think we're fine at.

The way Goff spreads it around, WR are seeing only 4-6 targets a game as it is
Not seeing where Landry helps

Landry is a much better player than Watkins. He won't half ass routes, and he will actually give effort. Also he is much smarter than Watkins, lets be real.

Easily solvable: Cut Mike Thomas, and Tavon Austin. There we now have 2 spots open in the WR room.

We can't cut Austin right now because of the cap. Even if we could it's a debatably bad idea.

McVay clearly sees something in Thomas, so he's not likely to be cut either. Otherwise he's have been gone once his suspension was up.

If its not broke, dont fix it.

Cmon now.

Name one receiver on this team that is better than Jarvis Landry.... He is 24 years old and just as good as ODJ if not better. Imagine how much better this offense will be with Sean McVay and Jarvis Landry working together. Ya'll are on some shit. First it was with Jimmy Graham (really good player). Hell, I don't see anybody besides @jrry32 mention T.Y Hilton..

Don't get complacent. If you can get better, get better!

Ok....Let's........
While Landry does bring some different things to the table, he'll basically be a exp. "clone" of Kupp. And he'll cost much more. The next guy that get's taken care of plays on defense (Donald). Young guys in the WR room will give us solid performance and room (for a few years....) under the cap. Some things are luxuries we can't afford right now. Is that real enough?

1. The cap won't be an issue:

2. Kupp doesn't belong in the same sentence as Landry. Kupp needs to stop dropping the ball at the worst times.

I cant comment just yet on who is better than who at the moment bc our offense hasnt even clicked yet. We still have players to get involved and things like red zone offense to work on. Landry might be better than Watkins, but Watkins is arguably the best most talented receiver we have and he has been pretty silent as of late yet we keep winning. I think we need to perfect what we have first before adding cap killing players.

Both Kupp and Landry are credited w/ 2 dropped passes. And he will cost more than Reynolds, Kupp and Thomas next year. And why are you arguing so much....is he a relative? Oh and big picture....why are you arguing w/ the fan base?...We don't have control over roster. Call up Les, Sean or Demoff, they can get more done than we can.... (But don't be surprised if they don't take your call.....just saying......)
