“I want to vomit every time I hear ‘number one wide receiver’ to be honest with you. It drives me crazy. That’s something that YOU guys talk about. I feel like we have a bunch of them.” Matt LaFleur

  1. The obsession with WR1 is weird. Why is it the norm to have one superstar with a significant skill gap between him and the rest? Defense just double teams him the whole time anyway. Would much rather have the talent spread around

  2. The whole “ WR1 “ or “ DB2 “ trendy nomenclature used by normal people is annoying. You’re not a coach, and here we have a coach saying it annoys him too. Just stop.

  3. Maybe the reason why they get asked this so much is because this team refuses to draft a WR with the draft capital that is usually necessary for most teams to have a WR1.

  4. He’s right though – the concept of a ‘WR1″ is fan/media made. From an X’s and O’s standpoint they are referred to as X, Y, Z, F, etc in the playbook, and from a Depth Chart perspective you have up to 3 guys that are all considered starters.
