    Lot of these types of questions become who can name whatever player hasn't been named. Lots of good choices listed and hard to argue with most of them though. Gotta say people seem to be snoozing on Ike. He is up there with the best and most clutch we have ever had.

    Pitts is best covered or not. Ike, quez, doering etc could get open and had great hands. Percy and chandler would be the best to make something out of nothing. There are lots of good answers

    Rhett and he only needs a 5 yard route to make the 10.

    A lot of variables in such a scenario. If we have a timeout, the middle of the field is in play so I'd probably pick the guy with the biggest catch radius and good on a 50-50 ball, so Pitts.

    If no timeout, then I'd lean to a quick out from a WR and I think there's plenty of good choices. If painted in a corner to select one, then I have a hard time not going with the guy who I think creates space against anyone in M2M, so I think I'd go with Percy. He was simply better than anyone else on the field.

    Well the best part about picking Ike Hilliard would be tgat the defense would also have to cover Anthony and Green along with Taylor and Danny would be throwing the ball. I like my chances there best of all.

    I’m proud of everyone. Three pages in, and not one mention of Andre DuBose and his 10 years of eligibility. And in the 2-yard thread, no Moooody.
    There’s hope for the residents of this board!

    In addition to Pitts, Gaffney, etc. Try on Dwayne Dixon. Great for a short route. As well as Tyrone Young, at 6-5. Then there was Aaron Hernandez.

    If I'm throwing I have to go with Hernandez on a shovel pass because that's as far as I can throw. :(

    Pitts without a doubt, but, if you had to pick 1 QB to make that throw, who you going with? I'd say Danny or Rex (maybe Trask).
