It's not just he's #3. Z receiver aka George typically is quicker and smaller than X aka Horton and helps to have some speed. Josh is a prototype X not Z. He may end up rotating behind Barkate and be our starter in 2027. Jocobs is your prototype Z.

Z may end up with Jacobs or Upshaw playing more than people think. Woodard looks like a Z also. I hope we run way more 4 WR sets to and less TE so this all hopefully is mute.

And Jacobs isn't a 1 trick pony. He's a proven starting WR in the SEC averaging 17 ypc and a team captain. Huge disservice to our guy. From what's been said about the last few spring practices and scrimmages he was a star with a bunch of big plays. The WR room is deep and this makes playing time complicated.

The problem is, Jacobs does not have the full route Tree to be a full-time Z in my opinion. That’s why I think it will be Moore. And in my opinion, Jacobs is a one trick pony, he can take the top off the defense, but lacks other route, running ability. Moore is the better receiver, and my opinion isn’t going to change on that.

Way too many assumptions here. Way too many. Can't run routes? Da fuq? Looking very much forward to Jacobs very quickly providing most of this wrong. Downright disrespect in here. Wow

To be fair, so far Jacobs has been a one trick pony albeit that one trick as stated is really important. This will also be his 4th year in college so he has had time to develop. I do agree with you however that nothing is set in stone and the competition for reps will be great this fall.

Again based on what? Pull the tape. He's not just running go routes and posts. This narrative is nonsense. We haven't heard one **** thing about him not being able to run routes in spring. CIS just flat making stuff up now

Oh yeah! Our WR room can use this. Need to keep this West Coast Canes pipeline flowing.

Its amazing how all of these conclusions were made WITHOUT WATCHING THE TAPE.

After what @lindend posted on page 1 this take was a no brainer. Let alone doing the work yourselves.

This cat is another level. My comp is a Jordan Addison type playmaker.

I agree but it's a crowded room and I don't think they play him over proven veterans and if Moore is what people think he will be.

I never said he can’t run routes. I said that he is mostly used to stretch the field. In his 3 years playing P4 he has not emerged as a go to WR. I’m not trying to **** on the kid either, he is a talent.

So ur basically just making it up. And no he hasn't been used as only a deep threat. False. He was a team captain at South Carolina and they thought he was basically the best they had. Y'all just make up garbage and slander one of our guys based on assumptions.

I stated I wasn’t trying to **** on him. They loved him at Scar, very true but he was a feast or famine WR there. There were a bunch of games where he was non-existent. I am happy he is a Cane, he is a game breaker and I hope he kills it here but as a WR he isn’t the complete package.

Your last sentence is another assumption on your part. Nobody has said anything of the sort about him. Oh and to start at Z he doesn't need to be wr1. That's how this works. I don't know if he will beat out Josh but I am sorry I can't let the slander here sit without correcting it.

Dre was the most complete WR I've seen and I've been a fan since the late 70's. If he went to an NFL team that had a top 5 QB he would have broken records. He was unguardable.

Was watching something on social media the other day and he was on a cast with some former NFL linebackers

Just saw a quick clip but it was funny that he was bigger than they were and you just shake your head

I’ve seen it with my own eyes, he lacks the ability to run the full route Tree. How much clearer can I make that to you? Moore is the better receiver and it’s actually not close. He’s bigger, stronger and almost as fast. He was number three coming out of spring, and I believe he will be number three coming out of fall. Now I will say this, the trick that Jacob’s can do which is taking the top off The defense is much needed, and we will use it, but he’s not as good of a receiver as Moore is based on what I saw at spring.

I'm going to bump this later. You had your chance to stop making up nonsense. Yeah a team captain can't run routes. Totally makes sense there buddy
 
I remember when Marion was only a kick returner
