I think people are minimizing how desperate our WR group is right now. We need to add the best experienced WR we can, and right now I really think that's Robinson.
(and NO, I do not think we should bring Moss back again after he mailed it in during the superbowl)
the chicken said nothing wrong. moss sure did picka pretty s**tty time to show his true colors. i am glad the hurts to the wide outs are happening now but the fact is they are happening and while some continue to tell us, we are just fine,, when you are down to three healthy guys and one is over 30,, and you are discussing vernon becoming a wide out,, well then you need to make a move.
Agreed.
In fact, I will go a step further and say that I think the 9ers should sign both Laurent Robinson AND Early Doucet.
Now I know people are going to hate on this because they don't think we need two new WRs. To me, the fact that we're even discussing Moore, Lockette, Hall, or Jacobs as much as we are means that we need TWO more WRs. We just don't have any experienced players and I will take an average NFL level player over a long shot lotto ticket undrafted player.
Now the second thing people are going to hate on is Doucet. And yeah, I know he's not the greatest. But like Robinson, he took a while to develop, got stuck with terrible QB play, but DID have a solid 2011 season. Here are his 2011 stats:
54 receptions
98 targets
689 yards
12.8 average
5 TDs
Not terrible, despite the fact he had that crappy ARZ platoon of QBs throwing to him. I'd rather have him as my day 1 starter/late season bench warmer than Chad Hall or Marlon Moore.
