I sure hope Quick becomes what we all had hoped he would become!
It’s all very exciting.
Maybe they have enough this year to do what they need to do.
BRADFORD: “I think this is probably the deepest group [of receivers] we’ve had since I’ve been here, the most talented group we’ve had since I’ve been here.”
Interesting he should say that since all they did was add Britt. I think he must mean guys are maturing. Bailey, for example. We’re beginning to see he has a chemistry with Bailey. Or we have seen glimpses of that so far.
A history of Rams receivers with Bradford (adapted/stolen from a different poster on another board but heavily revised by me).
2010:
Clayton – injured early but there was chemistry with Bradford when Clayton could play
Alexander – played in 7 games
Gibson – rookie
Amendola – 3rd year player, but short-gain slot guy
Robinson – banged up all year
2011:
Offense out of sync all year due to learning new scheme without an off-season and getting massively injured
Alexander – productive in 5 games
Amendola – hurt early
Gibson – banged up, missed time
Lloyd – came late in a trade but played well
Pettis – rookie and looked it
2012:
Amendola – 5th year pro, and Schottenheimer used him well, but only played half the season
Gibson – okay, decently productive
Pettis – barely used, but he’s a role player
Givens – showed some rookie stuff but fell off in 2013
Quick – de facto redshirt
2013:
Austin – not really an every-down receiver, was a little overwhelmed early, but obviously a top weapon
Pettis – used a little more than before, productive within his role
Givens – his 2nd year an off-year as said
Bailey – late start, promising
Quick – redshirt year 2

He did have receivers before, if Amendola and Clayton had stayed healthy (Alexander was a gamble). Imagine 2012 if they had DA all year plus Clayton.
