Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
It’s four spring practices and one and a quarter seasons in, but why does the WR position continue to be this team’s Achilles heel? We have supposed talent, yet we can’t get any separation, make tough grabs, or develop a playmaker. Is it solely scheme? Or does Adams just suck? I thought Puka, Jalen Mac, and even Spike/Ozzy would be sure bets. Rome is athletic but raw and doesn’t seem like a natural pass-catcher and Bynum is solid but not flashy.
What the fuck? (I’m trying not to lay the blame on Pete’s “beautiful mind” offense or JohnDon.)

If the receivers are bad this year I'll be all in on #FireAdams. I think they'll be pretty good.
And I'm not especially worried about the "can't get separation" stuff. They got plenty of separation last season (biggest plus of John Don's offense). Getting separation against our DB's is completely different than getting separation against everyone else. There is plenty of speed and quickness in the receiver room. They'll be plenty open.
Will they catch the damn ball is the question?
I think they will. But if they don't?

Too many fucking drops.
DDY wants Adams to get fired.
I hate him because he's an ignorant racist
I expect we'll see Cade get a lot of targets as well which should free up the WR opportunities as well.
Not too concerned. I agree, though, if the WRs suck again this year, it's a cause for concern with regards to coaching.
Problem solved.
Initially under CP our WR recruiting was the worst of any position group. In retrospect I think many posters got overly excited about the Jones/Bynum/Cook '17 class and then the Spiker/Osborne '18 class in comparison to '15 and '16. Four out of five being busts is not good but it is a small sample size- two good receivers out of five would have been fine.
At this point there is plenty of talent on the roster- including Adams' 2020 guys and the transfer Polk- and we have a somewhat proven QB and an experienced OLine so no reason they shouldn't produce.
