He had a pretty dramatic dropoff once Crabtree came in last year. I am guessing he will remain on the back burner, since based on his average yardage per game once Crabtree came in dropped significantly.
To answer the question, Household name? not likely...

Well, that would be extremely optimistic! JT had much better YAC than Morgan appears capable...

Only way morgan becomes a household name by the end of the year is if he goes on a white girl killing spree sometime between now and December.

Captain Morgan is more of a household name in my household.

Actually, based on what I saw from him last year, (so far) Michael Crabtree reminds me more of John Taylor.

Morgan? Really? I'm not convinced Willis is a household name across the NFL landscape, simply because I just don't give the "average NFL fan" that much credit for being knowledgeable.
Take your average stupid person- then realize HALF of them are stupider!
I want to frame this quote and put it on my wall
It hangs on the wall... in my mind.
Was that about NT?

I really like Morgan too,a young,strong WR who won't burn you but will make some tough catches,get some yards after the catch,compliments not only Crabtree but Gore as well in the run game and also has good character which is important.

I like Josh Morgan like I liked Arnaz Battle when he first came to the team. He does the gritty part of football and is valuable. However, he's not very fast and I've always felt like he kind of lets up on plays. If he can put it together mentally, I think he could be a good possession receiver. Ted Ginn will push him this year.

Eh he didn't not get that TD because he was slow he missed it because he let up hella bad. But I respect him because he's the only starting skill player out there ready to even play in preseason.

Exactly. He lets up on plays. But I think as he gets experience like getting caught from behind, he'll learn to run hard until the ball crosses the plane or he gets to the 1st down, etc. 3rd year should be a tell-tale sign of if he's brought his game together mentally. And he's still not very fast.


No. But the kid has heart and I hope Singletary can get just a little more from him. We have enough weapons around Smith especially now with Westbrook so he doesn't have to be most productive guy on offense.
