Can't wait to see Dural, Leslie, Diarse, Peterson, Spears, Smith, Chark, Upchurch, Dupre, Quinn, Washington, Stokes, Dickson, Gordon, Jeter et al catching passes from Harris and Jennings......

Ole Miss is better than what people think. No way I would put UGA or UT above OM.

let me say this:

this is not a ranking of how much your QB throws, if you have a QB, how much your team runs, how many stats you can count on one hand, or how many rings you can fit on your dick...

it is and always has been a ranking of the

ETA: for the simple ones that means exclusively talent and depth of that talent...

Everybody always says UGA's receivers are overrated until their team can't cover them. See for example: LSU 2013.

Mitchell, Conley, Bennett, JSW and co. make play after play and get no respect for some reason.

how does pass yds affect talent. i would only use that as a sort of tie breaker(in rankings) not a defining factor in talent


Well, this is your post just above:
thing i look at the teams ability to provide these guys the numbers they need

So I woud think Marshall's passing numbers would affect Auburn's ability to provide their WRs with the ball....wouldn't you?

You also included Howard in Alabama's evaluation. Can't. Sorry. He is a tight end. Just ask Jimmy Graham. It does not matter if he COULD be a WR, or if he PLAYS like a WR....he is a Tight end and should not be considered in this conversation.

A&M does have 2 great QB's replacing Johnny but there will only be one JFF. Still, this is about passing and it is not a stretch to say Sumlin's O will produce great passers considering Keenum and Bradford were before Manziel in his offense. More than that though, this is about WR's and Johnny never had this many highly rated WR's to pass to.

Here are the national rankings of the last 6 Sumlin offenses for passing yardage: 6, 11, 1, 9, 1, 2. Ironically the worst passing stats were when Johnny won the Heisman because he ran all over everyone too. Outside of '10 with the Petrino led Arkie O those numbers would have led the SEC every season.

youre a simple one arent you. i only used QBs ability to get them the ball as a means of ranking between ties

When ranking anything, you typically normalize for things like that... Good stats =/= talent

And just because you can copy and paste their name from the depth chart to tRant doesn't mean they are talented...

Overall the SEC is pretty stacked at the WR position. We can go back and fourth about who's better than who, but that is yet to be seen. Although I can say its pretty equal between UGA, UA, snd AU.

I think the point that is being missed is that most people are assuming guys will make an impact, not who is proven. IMO, Bama and UGA have the depth and the guys across the board that have had proven success. 1A and 1B if you ask me. Some of these guys may be fantastic, but are yet unproven, unlike Bama's and UGA's. There are plenty of great WR's, but we're talking about units and guys that have already done it. You can't assume anything until guys like Williams do it on the field in the SEC.

Manziel wasn't even drafted as high as the QB he replaced...

And LSU MIGHT have the best. But you have nothing to base it on at this point. Bookmark the thread and bring it up again if you are right. But you can't expect everybody to say LSU when you lost all of your top receivers from last year.

That would be a yes.


So. If you don't use statistics....you don't use (initailly, at least) the ability to get the ball to the receviers....you don't use the QB's throwing to them...what are you basing it on? I know. I know. You said the receivers talent. Sooooo how are you determining the receivers talent. THAT is what is so perplexing to me. By every measurable way you can determine a receivers talent you say you are not using. Not how many yards he makes. Not how many balls he catches......so what are you basing their talent on? Eye test? What you have read? You are the most obtuse poster in this thread. You are basing it on talent, but not saying how you gauge that talent. I could accept...and defend you if you just said you are basing it on your opinion. But even then I would wonder how you came to your opinion.


So far you have said nothing but here are the most talented Wide receiver corps in the SEC...but you are not basing it on yards, offensive scheme, Catches.......oooook. So tell us. What ARE you basing it on?

Agreed. but what DOES = talent for the purposes of this thread?

Some say it is ranking while being recruited...some say experience...everybody has a different opinion as to what makes the best receiving group, but we are all basing it on different criteria.

If you go by the entire corps (not just the top two or three WRs at a school), I don't think anyone comes close to us. However, if you go by North, Malone, Pearson that's probably about right. We have boatloads of talent in Malone and Pearson but they gotta play first.

That's the first I've seen UGA's ranked so high. I'm not sure about that one.

Personally I have my doubts, too about UGA being #1. We are good and we have a LOT of depth....but no star power. UT's problem is experience...but the potential is definitely there.

I don't bookmark 'em. I can't remember which ones are which and I don't have time to go through them to find a specific one.
