So essentially you're telling me 3 guys, 1 of which only played in 5 games, produced more yardage than four of yours. I'm not sure you helped your case at all. You've got me on the healthy part. Argue that all day long and you'll win that argument. Still, when everyone's healthy, we have better WRs than you do.
Like I said before, let's just agree to disagree.

No, he's saying SC's WR's produced 50% more TD's.

Not surprising when you compare minutes of total playing time between each of those groups.
More minutes = more opportunities to score.

Scoring points is all that matters, this isn't fantasy football.

WR is not what beat us .... 1 - Piss poor preperation.
The thing that really chaps my arse is i keep playing that interview Spurrier did the week before the game over in my head. In the interview he is chuckling with the media and almost bragging about how he works less than other coaches. He ends the interview with " heh, heh, why don't yall tell nick Saban i don't sleep in my office." Or something like that. Not so fricking funny anymore... We looked like we hadnt practiced at all. And jmo, this is bad preparation meeting lazy arse recruiting. I am still so cheesed.
But i will be there saturday...

career stats for each group:
MM(JR)-85/1,237/8
CC(SR)-81/1,281/12
MB(SR)-97/1,203/13
JSW(JR)-22/446/3 (not a starter)
total:285/4,167/36
NJ(SR)-40/492/6
SR(JR)-30/535/6
PC(SO)-3/54/1 (not a starter)
DB(SR)-48/957/7
total:121/2,038/20
Granted, none of that matters for UGA because we're missing two of those guys and they'll be replaced by Kenneth Towns/Blake Tibbs/Charlie Hegedus/Reggie Davis. For most of their careers they also had one of the most prolific passers in the SEC throwing them the ball. Aside from Mitchell, I don't think they're a group of amazing athletes, but they're very reliable and experienced when healthy.

UGA fans still don't seem to realize that being healthy is a part of playing football. The stats that your WRs produced last year will likely correlate strongly w/ what they produce this year. That's b/c being injured isn't a bug for your WR corp, it's a feature. Every team has players like this, only most teams are able to objectively assess the likely production they'll get from these players (many USC fans were certainly wary of Lattimore's comeback, and didn't project an SEC rushing title... we noted he'd ease in as the season went along). They don't engage in fantasies where everyone is 100% healthy (when they're demonstrably not) and plays to the top end of their ability every play of every game. The season has started; y'all have injured receivers. Your WR corp must be judged on what they're likely to do now, not what they could do in an alternate universe. USC WRs would be amazing if we had a better QB, or a more pass happy system, or if they each grew 3 inches. But that isn't the case, and won't be the case. As it stands today, UGA's WR corp is not an enviable one, and I wouldn't name them as a top WR corp in the conference.
Irrespective of the health argument, your WRs were catching balls from one of the most gifted passers in your school's history. Also, our WRs didn't play every game, either.
