Does Chris Owusu Make the Team in 2012? | Page 10

Does Stanford WR Chris Owusu make the 53-man Roster? Assuming he's medically cleared, I think he's got a good chance to. Moss, Williams, and Owusu are probably competing for three roster spots. Remote chance that Ginn is competing for a roster spot as well -- but that may be impacted by DB Perrish Cox's standing on the team - he is a talented return man with major red flags off the field.

He will "want to" for Harbaugh. He is one of the greatest receivers ever and he is only 35 years old. Thats all I really care about. You are obviously much more involved in the media fueled soap opera that takes place off the field. I choose not to use my brain power on such b******t. Everyone inside the 49ers facility believes Moss will be a major contributor this year.

How about you check out Wallace Gilberry's bio (DE Chiefs) and see if anything stands out to you.

If you want to keep playing games and request a WR only don't expect a reply.

I'm not wasting my time researching and educating you because you want to be stubborn and change your position when someone responds.

Good GMs don't risk losing a player they like by exposing him to the PS. Players are plucked every year after cut downs.

I still think this is the one mistake made in the make-up of the team. 1. It keeps the receiving types 1 dimensional, and 2. it makes it harder on the QB to not have a good outlet guy to convert 3rd downs -- either at WR or TE.

Moss has to make the team. This team still lacks a big body receiver, Moss is the closest thing to that, although he is not an across the middle possession/conversion receiver.
Moss is 6'4 and has crazy leap, thats all we need.

As to same "type of WR" I have to disagree. Just because AJ and Moss are fast doesn't mean they play the same. If I had to group by type, it would look like this:

Crabs/Manningham - Well rounded short and intermidiate threat.

KW - Slot reciever

Moss - Only proven Deep threat

Ginn - Very fast, but staff has never used him as a 9 route guy.

Jenkins -TBD - But I see him as an all purpose WR. Where as Crabs is intermidate to short, I see Jenkins as being all purpose with his speed being a major threat.

They did ocassionally . . . like the 75 yard TD vs. the Ravens that was negated by that horrid chop block call. But not if better options are available.

Or the one he lost in the clouds....
