That's simply not true. What we have is an extremely young WR corps. Sure, the drops suck but does anyone thing this will continue. I'm confident they'll grow into themselves.

Define "WR talent".
We heard about drops in fall camp, and now we have seen drops in the games. If it continues, we will struggle.

Contrary to what the coaches say this QB rotation isn't helping. Going from noodle arm Lambert to Eason can be a big adjustment for WRs. I think it's time to make a choice and stick with it.

Some validity to this. But you can't throw a freshman out there in the SEC and expect him to do everything right. It's a learning experience. Our coaches aren't idiots. If Eason could do everything that needed to be done, Lambert wouldn't get a snap.

I promise you , you don't want them to make a starter decision today. It wouldn't be JE, they just aren't comfortable with him yet.
I'm sure they would live for him to prove he's ready for job full time , but that has not happened. Even though some of you are perfectly happy with sending the season down the river so he can play full time, the coaches and players are not. When JE steps up and takes he job, it will be his; but they aren't just going to give it to him; and they shouldn't. He's got to make the decision on his own; it's his job he's just got to act like its his. The team will respond.

When Eason takes over full time, that's either extremely good news or profoundly bad news for the season. God forbid we get eliminated from the East race, it's all Wunderkind, all the time.

The people begging for Eason to get the start will be the same people all pissed off and bitching when the offense doesn't look in synch. Like Kirby said, the QB does more than just throw the ball downfield.

I'm sure I am missing some, but the drops I have seen have been a couple or three by Chigbu and one by Nauta. McKenzie has done well as Terry Godwin. Reggie Davis has been pretty quiet so far.

We have plenty of talent. Its just that our talent can't get open and catch a football right now.

Georgia currently lacks receivers that can consistently beat one on one coverage downfield outside the numbers. Godwin and McKenzie have gotten the most targets, but they are both better suited to play in the slot.

Full Breakdown:
Godwin: catches the ball very well, natural athlete, very quick and elusive but not a burner, great after the catch, mediocre downfield blocker, lacks size
McKenzie: improved as a pass catcher, super quick and explosive, good top end speed, nightmare on the speed sweep, very small, willing but limited as a blocker
Chigbu: body catcher so has trouble with drops, good size, great perimeter blocker, limited top end speed, somewhat stiff
Stanley: similar to Chigbu athletically, maybe a little faster, good blocker, hasn't been targeted yet iirc, has trouble beating college corners 1on1
Davis: burner but not the most elusive or strong, mixed history as a pass-catcher, generally been productive, slight of build, decent blocker
Wims: big, destroyed a dude on a block last game, also had an OPI, effectiveness TBD
Ridley: seems fairly smooth and natural as a WR if not a all-world athlete, limited opportunities so far
Simmons: burner, not tall but good size, TBD as a WR
I think that mostly covers the guys who are near the rotation. Pretty average to below average SEC unit, frankly. At least until Wims, Ridley, and Simmons can make an impact.

Can I just say I was dead set ducking wrong

I aint buying this shite. You got a experience in Reggie Davis who aint doing shite, and you got a 5* in Godwin who cant get separstion, run good routes, or hold on to the ball. The excuses are bullshite, we flat out suck at WR among other spots. Please come to terms with this.
