Cooper Kupp is having arguably the best season of any WR is one of those average speed guys -
Speaking of fast, anyone remember Rob Brown of the Rams? He was a burner amongst burners. He was an Olympic gold medal winner in the 1984 games and then signed with the Rams. Not a great receiver but an amazing KO returner.

Guyton's speed is readily apparent. He runs by defenders regularly. Seriously, I thought you watched the Chargers games over the past two years. Guyton's 40 time has been reported at 4.35 from multiple sources. Guyton is much closer to Tyreek Hill than he is Palmer, Williams or Allen--just in a whole other class in terms of speed.Originally posted by powderblueboy View PostLast edited by Guest; 12-15-2021, 10:26 PM.Comment

I wish this were true, but there is simply no evidence at all to support the notion that Palmer is going to be better than Keenan Allen (which he would be if he were as good as DeAndre Hopkins).Originally posted by Velo View Post
I mean maybe Trey Pipkins will turn into the next Ronnie Stanley, but I am not holding my breath on that one either.Comment

Seriously, Palmer did not demonstrate anything better than average WR skill on Sunday. He made the routine plays that were there for him to make, which is better than not making those plays, but not one of the plays he made is worth any kind of special mention.Originally posted by ghost View Post
Nobody knows if Josh Palmer is the next Keenan Allen or not, despite the general notion of that post, that Josh is the next Vincent Brown.
Prototypical height-weight and look at the body control. He looked like a silky smooth mother****** on Sunday and he's shown a little more each and every week. Let Palmer work the right side of the endzone on Sunday against the Chiefs 3rd corner, and Josh Palmer will have a breakout game.
If Allen, Williams or Guyton had made those plays, not one of you guys would have made a single comment about it.Comment

FFS, you keep missing the point.Originally posted by powderblueboy View Post
I have been discussing Guyton as a complementary piece in our offense. That is why he has more value than Palmer. Palmer does nothing better than Allen or Williams. He adds nothing except reserve caliber depth.
Guyton, by contrast, gives us the pure speed deep threat that can take the top off of defenses as he has repeatedly demonstrated. That is something the team does not otherwise have. That is why Guyton is easily the more valuable WR for our team as it is presently constituted.
I am focusing on that trait because that is the trait that Guyton and only Guyton gives us.Comment

Moss was the better deep ball WR, which fits better with Herbert's unique deep passing talent.Originally posted by BlazingBolt View PostComment

That's right. Our starting WRs are not very fast. That's kind of the point. Ask what is missing and then you will realize why Guyton is more valuable than Palmer.Originally posted by Velo View Post
What does Palmer do that is better than Allen or Williams? The word "nothing" comes to mind. Now ask the same question about what Guyton does that is better than Allen or Williams. Does that make the concept clear enough?Comment

It’s so funny to keep reading about how lacking and ordinary Palmer is. Bottom line - he played 20 more snaps than Guyton did. He had 2 more catches. He was targeted more than any other receiver. That should tell you what the coaching staff thinks of both.Comment
