I think overall people place too much emphasis on coaching at times. Sometimes you just don't have the horses. We really haven't had a ton of talent at WR for years now. Moss is good but a borderline #1. ARE is a slot guy. Thomas and Kelly are still pretty green experience wise.

I'm not saying Hixon is anything great, but look at a comparable situation with someone like Bugel. He hasn't been able to turn shit into stars either. Why? The talent really hasn't been there.

Perhaps the majority are lemons, but when you have lemons you make lemon juice. I would argue Keenan McCardell is atleast one, and Pinkston another. No they are not T.O. caliber or R.Moss, but they are not fodder either. I would also argue that a more talented WR Coach might have done a better job with almost half of these.

My last arguement would be that I would have a hard time believing that the team picked up these so called "camp scrubb" with out atleast consoling Hixon in regards to these guys which means Hixon is a dumb donkey at evaluating talent and bring in guys who will make a difference to the team ....which confirms what I'm saying all along.
