With all the recent questioning with BP's injury status, our teams draft failure with WRs dating back with our first crack at finding a #1 WR (Travis Taylor), and our history since then of not drafting WRs well, its been making me wonder what the problem is. Why do we as a team have so many issues trying to find "that guy" when it seems like many other teams don't strike out as much as we have through our whole history. Now I'm not saying Mark Clayton was horrible (personally I think he was due to our unfortunate QB situation with Boller), It just feels like we are cursed at ever finding a true #1 WR or great WR period. Is it our scouting? Coaches? GM? (I'm not an Ozzie hater), or is it just a product of our drafting position over the past couple of years, even though teams like Pittsburg have found good WR in the later rounds?
Now, I know you don't HAVE to have a #1 WR if you have a roster of a bunch of good ones, but it does help to have that one star player at each position from time to time.
All in all it just has been making me wonder when I watch other teams play, how their WRs can just make it look so easy and go up and get balls, get YAC, and act like its nothing, while our WRs struggle for separation, miss catchable balls, and seem to have consistent injury issues.
