Regressed was a bad choice of a word, but even though he still Had 100 catches there were a few times that he looked 32, not enough to really worry you but anyways.
He's had to deal with Schaub and Keenum. Pair him with an elite QB and watch out.

I seriously hope this is all more than the past year's offseason wins. I know it absolutely seems like we got a set WR corps, but a part of me is starting to feel the winning the offseason vibe (even I know it's done a different way then we used to).
Wait until DJax throws his first drama fit. That'll bring the vibe back to earth.
Otherwise I am with you. I would have done a few things differently but overall the offseason has been good to us. I tend to trust this feeling because we (mostly) have not been signing flashy baubles but, instead, bringing in the lunch-pail types.

I hope it's safe to say, that if our line can give Griffin even decent protection, Gruden ought to give us some fun offense to watch.

He wont have an elite QB this year, Hopkins needs to develop as well, but as a whole I wouldnt rate them higher than us.

On paper our WR corps looks great. Let the season play out before we put them in the top five. My confidence in this team has increased since the day mike was fired but chemistry has to be established first.

I don't like off season rankings because they generally don't mean much.
It's easy to see that the corps is quite improved. After 4 games, there should be a definite feel about how good they can be.

Andre Johnson, while an awesome individual and overall human being, HAS regressed the past 2 or three seasons. I always have him on my fantasy team, and he underwhelms more often than not if I remember correctly, and I think I do. And another thing. Stating that Brandon Marshall is definitively better than Pierre Garcon is a stretch. Garcon is coming into his own, and played awesome last season with average quarterback play. He isn't afraid of the middle, and is a load to bring down after the catch, with great speed. I'd say right now him and Marshall are neck and neck.

i love garcon, but i'd say BM is right next to CJ as far as receivers. he's never had a great qb, but it hasn't stopped him.

They both have good things going for them (garçon and Marshall). I watched a few games last year, and as good Marshall is he disappears at times. He is good but he is a lot of flash.
At this point as long as Jefferey is healthy I see him as surpassing BM. Just like Julio has done in Atlanta.

I think we're grading a little bit differently. I was grading the WR groups as a whole. But it looks like you're comparing the #1's, then the #2's, then the #3's. Chicago's WR corps as a whole, for example, is far superior to ours. Brandon Marshall is an elite NFL WR, superior to Garcon; and Alshon Jeffery is an absolute beast, superior to DeSean Jackson. Our #3, Andre Roberts, is better than their #3(who is it anyway?), but Marshall and Jeffery are so good that Chicago's WR corps is still better. My two cents...
Stat wise they were all very similar last year. Garcon led the world in receptions. Yardage wise they were all extremely close. Td's Garcon was lacking but DJax had more than Jeffrey. So Im not sure how much more superior any of them are to any other at this moment in time. Id say that with Roberts in the mix at three we have the edge actually.
