Nice opportunity to show he can earn a real paycheck next year

He is only a Jr. He'll be back.

He will be back unless he balls out the rest of the year & NFL stock soars.

Which would be great, because likely we win a lot of games if he does that.

And we can just put another cog in the machine if he does leave early.   :naughty: :powert:

I'm excited to see Webb & Nimrod. All 3, Thornton, Webb, and Nimrod are big receivers as is Keyton! Just hope the line gives Joe time. And Joe is a little more accurate!

Don't forget Squirrel!  He is our best this year IMO.

We've tended to put the speed guy on the right
Thorton is a speed guy but his skill set fits with the left WR position with his ability to go up and catch the ball.
With Bru's injury our best 3 in my view are Keeton, Thorton and Squirrel
Webb & Nimrod are able backups to spell the starting 3

Certainly wasn't dissing Squirrel. He is our best receiver.

One other thing.
We have mostly been using Squirrel as a possession receiver, not at all like we used Hyatt last year.  I suspect we will test their secondary Saturday like we did last year with Hyatt
