Does Junior Adams Suck?
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?

Yes. But he also may not.

He sucks until proven otherwise. 81% chance he sucks.
Too many fucking drops. -

I hate him because he's an ignorant racist -
Maybe because they play in AAU 7 vs 7 and never play with actual pads on

He coached Cooper Kupp

The best thing about this is that the receiver caught the damn ball while losing his head to the scariest man in pro football.

The coaches are stressing fundamentals and game planning like never before. Sounds like the kids are embracing it.Beno4Life said: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.

I am ok with the turnover at WR this year. Puka had his moments and certainly has a lot of talent but it's been a long time since someone stepped up to be a (recent memory) Dante Pettis/John Ross type receiver and I don't think the guys we had last year had that sort of consistency and talent. Time to try some new guys who look promising and hope the younger receivers step up. I think D-Mo is going to surprise this year. Dude doesn't look like a QB in street clothes but I think he's a gamer and is going to get the ball to the receivers who step up.
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. -
Lucky for us lil Jimmie is only about running the damn ball so we don’t have to worry about the wr’s catching the damn ball!dnc said:LIPO

Problem solved. -
No such thing as a sure bet. And if there is such a thing we haven't landed any. Spiker and McMillan have been the highest rated and McMillan the most highly recruited but neither was quite on the Egbuka level of national recruit.Beno4Life said: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?

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. -
Dont forget the transfer of Giles either
-
We just got 2 WRs via the portal that are better than 80% of the guys we lost via the portal. I doubt the guys coming here would be coming here if they thought Adam's sucked. Puka is a different story but he left for other reasons.
-
I think Puka was 100% that guy. Given a full season I fully expect that he would've emerged as the consistent #1 that he was showing flashes of. Losing him is a kick in the balls no matter who it frees up snaps for.DoogieMcDoogerson said:I am ok with the turnover at WR this year.

Puka was the most talented offensive guy UW has had since John Ross. Average pass catcher but game-breaker. Just a strong, twitchy guy at WR. Rare talent.

So don't sleep on him is what you're saying.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Dont forget the transfer of Giles either

The real issue is that none of the five are actually go to guys with all conference ability. I think we have had a few, somewhat good #2 or #3 type WR’s but not one of them has been legitimately a threat every game.FremontTroll said:

Bynum looked pretty good in the three games he played last year but yeah we will see this year.RoadDawg55 said:
