Our leading returning receiver caught 40 passes for 600 yards. Damier caught 14 passes last year. 14. Fourteen. Shamier Jeffery and Kwinton Smith have zero career catches combined. This is the group of receivers you're touting as potentially being the most explosive in the country. It's late, maybe you should go to bed, champ.

cmon dude. dont be a closet gamecock fan who only comes out when we do good. look at our team. who has a better tight end combo than buster and jerell. we are in the top 10 for a reason and have back to back 11 win seasons for a reason. If Ace had come back would you say we would? If you say no, tell me who has a better set and lets compare.

How would be realistic make me a closet Gamecock fan? Im an alum and die-hard fan. But we arent even close to having the top receiver corp in the nation. Even if Ace came back we wouldnt be top 5. I would say SoCal, Clemson, Bama, Okie St, Arizona, Oregon St, Texas A&M, etc. Its not like I think our receivers are trash. I just think some Gamecocks (yourself, steve miller, random guys at the bar) get carried away with this "best in the nation" talk. Any of our RBs could start for any SEC team? I think the guys on Bama, LSU, Georgia, A&M might have somethin to say about that.

I can't "prove" anything. But all of those teams have better returning players than we have. Here is your argument "proving" that USC could have the best receiving corp in the nation...
Bruce - Came on at the end of last year. Lead the team in receiving and showed he could be a go-to guy. Does that mean he is better than Brandon Cooks, Austin Hill, Josh Stewart, Amari Cooper, Mike Evans, and Marquis Lee? No... he is not. And chances are that he still wont be next year. You think those guys arent going to work all spring summer and fall to be better than they were a year ago?
Byrd - Sure he had trouble with dropping passes but he caught some long ones! That is awesome but he number one thing you have to do as a receiver is CATCH the ball. I hope he gets it turned around but so far he has been a disappointment.
Adams - Made two or three memorable plays all season. For whatever reason he didnt have the season that we imagined. A lot of that has to do with the guys in front of him playing well but it isnt like we had a TE with 700 yards receiving, You didnt even mention Buster who I think will have a bigger year than Adams.
Nick Jones - Again. two or three memorable plays all year. You think he is all of a sudden going to get 1000 yards? They are already talking about Kwinton Smith taking his spot at the B. What does that say? To me, it doesnt say that Kwinton Smith is the next Sidney Rice. It just says that he might be a better option than Nick Jones...which isnt saying a whole hell of a lot.
and finally...
S. Jeffery - A talented player that has never caught the ball and has had work ethic issues finally started working out in the weight room. I think we can all agree that he has proven less than or equal to any other receiver on any of the teams I mentioned. All of those teams have talented players on their roster...and some of them are more talented that Jeffery. At the very least the 2nd, 3rd, 4th options at those other schools have at least gotten in a game and caught a damn ball. Shameir has just goofed off on the sidelines.
If you want to refute any of those points feel free but I think any person with half an ounce of sense can see that you are reaching and im being realistic.

hence the title, IF Shamier steps up and becomes as sure handed as his older brother. I can agree with u I am going out on a limb and saying this, but after the season lets have another talk about this subject.
Changing gears, do you think we have one of the bbest defensive lines in the country? Im interested to here your opinion on our Dline now

Based on what? It's certainly not performance. Wilds has broken the 100 yard mark 3 times, Davis hasn't done it once. Hell Wilds' performance against Florida alone last season is more impressive than anything Davis has ever done. The only thing Mike Davis does better than Wilds, at this point, is completely whiff on his blocking assignments. Which he managed to do almost every time he tried to block last season. Worst blocking back I've seen in a long time, in fact. I swear, some of you just say things because they sound good to you, regardless of whether they have any basis in reality...

Let me start by saying I like Wilds. I think he has great patience, and vision. That said, he is about as slow as any RB in the BCS, and he is not going to make anybody miss in the open field. You pride yourself on being realistic, and reality is that Wilds is not in Davis's league talent-wise. Patience and vision are very important traits for a RB, and Wilds has shown he can be successful. His ceiling is about a 12 yard run, though. I'm not sure if that is a bad thing. Davis is a threat to bust one for a TD anytime he gets the ball. That is the difference.

Its not about someone saying our receivers have potential. Of course they do. It is embarrassing to hear a fellow Gamecock say that we may have the "most explosive group of receivers in the country." ... IN THE COUNTRY. That is just not going to happen. We will be lucky for a single guy to break 1000 yards. If we had be the best group in the country we would have at the very least 2 1000 yard receivers. When my drunk friends say things like that in front of Clemson/Georgia/Florida etc. fans I cringe and apologize on behalf of Gamecock Nation bc I dont want anyone thinking that we are all that delusional.

Maybe not all of us should think that way but atleast Spurrier does. You can be an optimist and realist at the same time....Bruce is our only proven consistent gametime WR. If you believe the words "other receivers need to step up" then you are along the same line of thought. Thats not saying our other guys dont have the ability to take over it just says they have to prove it
