lol... so now the narrative is that we should be lucky that we have Fowler instead of Meredith?

No...nobody said that either. I don't understand why people see Fowler as Merediths replacement. For the umpteenth time, Robinson is Meredith's replacement.

Not to get too nit-picky, but none of us ever said or believed that Meredith was a traditional "#1" WR. I thought he was/would be a really good #2/3 but not #1.

ARob is the classic #1 type. Way I see it, ARob is the replacement for long-departed Brandon Marshall and the soon-to-depart Kevin White. We really haven't had a true #1 type WR since Marshall left. Neither Jeffery or White was able to seize that role and both had chances to do so after Marshall was traded.

That is also my perception.

Too bad Cutty is out of the league. There are a few DL that aren't going to be able to make their yac goals this year.

Bears really had a nice run w/Rex and Cutty, they could make DL's look like int machines. And DB's look like HoF'rs.

I always thought Rex and Cutty were getting kick backs from DB and DL-men for helping them hit the "unlikely to be earned" contract stipulations they had.
