 Exactly my thoughts from the start here. I am ok with jennings and think he has 2 good years left it would work great if we drafted a young WR to work with him and grow with tanny. As for wallace some in here view him as just a speed guy I see so much more he has grown as a route runner and works great on crossing patterns and yeah the 26 TOUCHDOWNS in the last 3 years is the icing. |

No thank you to Welker, Jennings I would be pleased with but we need to draft a WR regardless.

Receivers that have been playing with HOF Quarterbacks their whole careers .... I'm not inclined to take a chance on them.
Give me Wallace. Rothlesberger is no slouch but Wallace will have a bigger impact.
The rumors about Jennings have already started tho. The house is sold.

The one knock on Wallace is, he isn't a hand catcher and isn't a proven route runner. Those are two things this offense looks for.
Not to say don't go after Wallace, but this could reasons they don't touch him.

Yes and no he started his career as a suspect route runner that is no longer the case. Bill polian recently gave him high marks regarding his route running. He can run slants and crossing routes all day now. Yes he is not a hands catcher no doubt but I dont care if he catches it with his helmet if he can score 26 touchdowns in 3 years for us. |

I get the Philbin connection & the fact we need WR's.
But I don't see why Jennings should be a particularly enticing proposition for Dolphins fans. I don't particularly fancy watching the Dolphins help a guy out with his last professional contract when he's hitting 30 and has missed 11 games in 2 years.
As Dolphinologist says (although I know he was referencing Brady too), Favre & Rodgers are no slouches as QB's for a WR.
I want the Dolphins to go after Wallace. He makes sense.
The Welker talk is just idle journalism, and not worth thinking about. |

100%, I would love to see the pats go after Bess next year. |

I think this is the first choice but I really don't think the choice is up to us. We can throw money at them but its up to them to sign. If we get Jennings that is a huge upgrade from what we have. If we get both Wallace and Jennings we have one of the best duos. Win win

Welker?! lmao, yea right. he is a system guy.. we need someone with speed that can strecth the field
and we already have Davone Bess, who has the same exact skill-set as Welker... short quick guy, lines up in the slot, runs sharp routes and makes tough catches in traffic |

Didn't the patsies use the Franchise Tag on Welker? I thought I read that on the internet somewhere.
