A blocking wide receiver who can catch

meily said

Then why did we release Smith?

Being a capable blocker only means to provide effort in the run game, but a receiver who is racking up catches and yards should not take a back seat to a guy who "blocks good".

That mindset just would have Kubiak reinventing the Sean Payton offense in which he rotates receivers in and out the game according to skillset.

I don't know, I'm not DA/PC and ML. That decision was made by them and most fans rejoiced. Now we have a super finesse dude, another guy who doesn't shy away from contact, but does get nicked up, a rookie who is big, but played small at first and is developing and then some journeymen.

McDaniel went the finesse/speed way for Miami and that didn't work when it mattered. I don't know what KK is going to do, but I would guess it's closer to SF or when he was in MN. I'm not sure how much SF games you've watched, but Jennings was a budget TQS for a couple years and then got more involved in the passing game due to necessity with Deebo always getting injured.

I'm interested to see what he does with the WRs. If he wants a Jennings role player, he can just has Juwan trim the 10-15lbs off he gained to play TE so he doesn't look like a fat WR playing TE anymore and let him play the X. Johnson was the better WR prospect coming out of college anyway and he's on the roster. Then we can draft/sign a couple real TEs.
