Re: \" If Al Davis passes on him, he\'s making a big mistake. \"

Fitzgerald's ability to absolutely bitch triple coverage is what makes it different. Boston was never a huge-leaper that would snatch a ball out of the air, regardless of body position, and pull it back into his body in the blink of an eye...then get hit 4 times before he hit the ground, and still hold onto the catch. Randy Moss is the best comparison. Culpepper chucks it up in the air, and Moss finds a way to grab it. Many, many QB's with a strong arm can fill that role. You don't have to take one of the marquis signal-callers at #2; you could take a playmaker down the field and still get a strong-armed guy in the 2nd round. I am very hesitant to take a QB at the top...and this time, especially since it's so reminiscient of the Peyton Manning/Ryan Leaf gig. "Peyton's safer, but Leaf has so much more POTENTIAL!!!"

I'm getting off track with the comparisons, though. A receiver that can catch ANYTHING in his vicinity will make a QB look good. A QB that can nail a gnat off a fly's *** from 30 yards will still have sub-par years if the target drops it. Boston/Plummer is tough to compare it to, because Boston was fast and strong...he never has been an out-leaping phenomenon. Randy Moss is the only comparison you can make, and it sure makes Culpepper's numbers better than they would be without Moss on the field.

They were pretty decent. They were a lot better than QCar made them look, even though I personally can't stand Glenn.. but you get my point when I said that..

not really, Galloway was totally soft, he refused to fight for a ball in traffic and ran pissy routes, Glenn was ok but he had his fair share of drops and never could really pull in the big catch, Bryant totally digressed and he even admitted he could have had a much better year. All 3 of them had concentration problems, but Galloway sticks out the most, he was what the 5th leading receiver on the team

One of the best thing about Fitzgerald is that he seems to be one of the few very talented recievers that is completely grounded. Money could change that, but I think he's gonna be able to handle the transition to being a pro very well.

I agree.

And the thing about Larry, is his QB, linemen, and other recievers are hardly top notch. WR is one of the more dependent positions in the game. Other things that get unnoticed, beyond his re-introduction of handing the ball to the referee, is how ferocious of a blocker he is. Oh, and include the fact that he was doubled on every down, and sometimes even triple covered.

I think Fitz could, and probably is the best overall talent in the draft.
