he was a 2nd round pick it would be nice if he realized his potential right here in blue.

All of these practice catches mean absolutely nothing. At the moment, Lewis has actually contributed to this team in real time and it's his job to lose. Latimer has done absolutely nothing is this league. Can he beat out Lewis? Sure, but at the moment it's a stretch to call him the # 3 receiver.

#3 receiver ? He'll be lucky to be the #5. He's the last option I'd look for. We'll see.

^^. He's better than Lewis and catches everything. How is he better than Lewis? Provide some fact and not your personal opinion. The guy was a 2nd round pick who has done absolutely nothing in the league. Lewis was undrafted and has proven more so far. What's your fascination with this guy? |

Nobody on this team has a lock on a position. There are front runners but it's best man wins. Competition is good.

Lewis has these drops at the worst moments. The reason Lewis has out produced him so far is because he has had more opportunities. Heck I would have preferred king over Lewis too. |

Let's not forget the great Corey Washington. Or, the Frenchman Dable.
Both, performed well in OTA.

why is "positive" news for a player met with such vitriol at times.
We all get it that its only OTAs, and anointing him the #3 is stretch but if the news was negative coming out of OTAs would you down play it in the same way??
The guy had a good couple of days. Thats great lets hope it continues. But lets also keep it in perspective.

I am not sold on him . He has speed, height and yet Denver never had him in the game plan . That does not give me anything but a minimum amount if confidence in him. What gives? There is something Denver witnessed that they did not like? Does he quit on routes in games ? Can he run a route in a game? Is he where he is suppose to be at the time of the throw ( is his route timing consistent). With all the attributes this kid has. Why are his numbers so low. Why did Denver cut him loose? He may look better then Lewis now . How will he look when it is real?
I hope my inclinations are incorrect. There is way too much there not to have some reservations.

I think some of us are simply saying it's too early to anoint a journeyman WR as the # 3 based on a few good OTA catches. We see this every offseason.
Roger Lewis has the inside the track based on being here longer and showing some positives signs last season. Who ever earns that spot, good for him, and good for the team. I would love nothing more for a Victor Cruz part 2, but finding that kind of hidden gem doesn't happen often. |

Yes the gems dont happen often but positive news is still better than...."Latimer dropped three passes today" |

IMO there is nothing at the X receiver talking about anyway. Engram and Shepard I believe are much better options than anybody, Lewis, Latimer, or whoever. Until camp opens all this conjecture is over rated. I believe whoever we put in there is just a guy. Eli can use him here and there just so defenses still address him and take away coverage from the others. You still have to send a guy to cover him. But I believe this position is the 5th option in the passing game.

But I believe this position is the 5th option in the passing game. Possibly even the 6th option. Beckham Engram Shep Barkley Ellison From what we here we are going to use a lot of 2 tight end sets. Obviously Ellison blocking could be an asset but I think he proved to be effective in the pass game in limited opportunities. With that said let's see if one of these guys, latimer or otherwise can step up as the 3rd wr. They will certainly see favorable matchups with all the other weapons to worry about. |

Might be our #2
I'm not impressed with Sterling Shepard. He's not a playmaker.

Im wishing for the best for Lattimer, i was a fan of his coming out of college and hope he can contribute in not only the ST aspect, but also the recieving aspect

I like what I have seen out of him as the 3rd WR...hopefully Roger Lewis pushes him harder for the spot

Good thread.
Roger Lewis lol. He’s an afterthought now. Latimer has the #3 locked up. Eli Manning makes most of his receivers relevant like he did with Lewis and will with Latimer. Denver had nobody at QB.
