    Fair, but it’d have to be WR1 for WR1, so you sit Rome?

    John Ross and Penix would be fire

    I’m taking 2016 Ross over any year of any UW receiver ever not named Reggie.
    Im not. Couldnt deliver when we needed him to the most
    He carried Browning as far as he could. Absolutely showed up (against NFL DB’s) in the conference title game despite Jack’s best efforts to throw a pick six. Burned Adoree. Just didn’t have what it takes to elevate Browning to competent against that Alabama defense. I don’t blame Ross for that.

    Ross fumbled away desperately needed points against Bama.

    Id take McMillan

    I think our two guys now are better than Pettis and almost as good as Ross, but not quite. Ross was a true game breaker. That speed played at the college level.
    Pettis was good in different ways than our current guys. He was unreal on kick return

    The catch Ross made in the CCG won me over. It may have even looked crazier in person, but it encapsulated how he saved Brownsox’s bacon on a regular basis.

    Ross made his QB better than he was.
