Toone is not that good. He's dropped virtually everything thrown at him up until that pass. Could just be the jitters though. The guy is fast as hell and has ridiculous twitch quickness. Reminds me of Wes Welker in that regard. He might just be the second or third fastest receiver on the team, so he definitely has a chance if he just stops dropping the ball.

I think the final roster spot is that 5th receiver and it'll come down to Cone, Rodgers, and Toone. Jackson has been decent too, but there's something about him that feels underwhelming. Like he can catch but nothing else. He's caught a bunch of balls vs 3rd string defenses, but never gets any YAC.

keep in mind too that the 5th WR is gonna see way more time on ST and not actually lining up as WR, so he would have practice sessions to work on getting over the jitters

Yes he kills me. Can't question his fandom but definitely annoying.

But prolly the person who annoys me most is FF1970. Of course there are the folks who troll heavily as well.

Looks like today's events assured he has a roster spot.

2 things: thanks for getting the thread back on track so I didn't have to, and, I wonder how long it will be before he moves up to #2

I think he will be the #2 by the end of the preseason. However, it would all just be a title and nothing more. It's possible they keep him at #3 this season. We all know he's better than Redman.

Whats crazy though is that 5 years ago Redman was our best QB.

And Petrino refused to play him for the majority of the season. Of course he also cut Snelling so we could keep Artrose Pinner. What a dumbass.

Probably sometime around week 6 or 7.

There are already calls for him to be number one, with Ryan having the second best preseason in the NFL.

someone explain that to me, I don;t live in Atlanta so I don't get it.
