[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 863326, member: 12283"] It's difficult to discern where talent deficiencies end and coaching deficiencies begin. I have nothing substantive to hold against Whitted, nor do I think that it's a huge win that he's fired. Neither do I think he's some sacrificial lamb who was secretly an amazing coach. That said, the following is notable. Edgar Bennett was the WR coach from 2011 to 2014. Over that time, he worked primarily with three 2nd round picks (Nelson, Cobb, Jennings) and one 3rd round pick (Jones). Besides that, the only other notable WR impact was the tail end of Donald Driver (who was already an established, veteran receiver when Bennett showed up) and one season where Jarrett Boykin stepped up and had about 600 and 3. Alvis Whitted in his one year as WR coach worked primarily with one 2nd round pick (Adams), one 5th round pick (Valdes-Scantling), and a number of undrafted players (Allison, Lazard, Kumerow). The difference in draft capital invested in these two receiving corps is stark. Four picks in the top 100 vs. one such pick. I don't think it's fair to say that Bennett's guys played well no matter where they were drafted-- because by and large his guys were drafted relatively high. I was excited for the competition at WR in camp this past year primarily because of the amount of young players we had. My feeling was that someone ought to emerge out of the pack. It wasn't that I thought we were flush with guys ready to make a major impact. [/QUOTE]
