    Landry is the absolute heart and soul of this team. Gase said in the presser he hopes he is here for a long time. If you want to know who won't be here next year, it's #11

    Landry should absolutely be kept. Parker will be here next year though; he still has 1 year left on his contract.

    He still has had stone hands for most of the games this season. He's another Bess guy that people latch onto. I hope we can keep both but I'll take Parker over Landry if we have to choose between the two.

    This narrative needs to die. I don't think anyone dislikes Landry, in fact, I think most people love having him on the team.

    The sticking point is how much a slot receiver is worth.

    Landry is a great player...no doubt. But Parker is clearly at a different level and he's not averaging three dropped 3rd down passes per game either.

    The difference here is Parker has the size/speed/skill to become a gamebreaker. That can't be said for Juice - who lacks the speed to legitimately threaten defenses.

    Notice how with Parker out, we still needed the run game to loosen things up for Juice to operate. That didn't happen in the previous games which is why he was mostly a non-factor.

    They each have their pros and cons, when healthy Parker is the better overall reciever, but the problem is he is very fragile and is always hurt, landry on the other hand is as durable as they come I dont think he has ever missed a game for us.

    he's not averaging 3 drops because he is not thrown to ------ because he never plays

    Parker is 18 for 28 for 236 yards on the year. 12.4 average per catch and 57 total yards after the catch.

    Stills is 10 for 20 with 114 yards and an 11.4 average per catch, with 19 yards after the catch.

    Landry is 30 for 43, 210 yards and a 7.0 average per catch, plus 111 yards after the catch. All three have 1 TD as well.

    You're saying that we will keep Landry, our scrappy short yardage junkyard dog and cut/trade the first true anytime deep threat weapon we've had in almost two decades? Parker has been out for two games and he still has more yards than Landry- that's a clear indication of how wrong you are on this one.

    Sometimes the best skill you can have is one of availability. Can I count on parker each week to contribute to the offense ? Even when jarvis isn't catching anything he still puts in the effort to block and push the pile of runners to get extra yards. Some things you cannot track statistically. Parker has all the talent in the world but, since he has been here injuries plagued him. I'll take jarvis because I know he is going to fight to win and be available when needed.

    Slightly left of center
    All in balls out! Landry is the balls of this offense, I cussed at him a couple times today too. He took over the 2nd half. LOVE the way he BLOCKS! Got an OL mentality and decleats malafalas!

    I love Juice but when it comes to the position of WR Parker is the guy I'm taking.

    he is always injured. good luck with that. This offense will have to learn to play without him and Pouncey

    I liked the way the back up center played. Perhaps move Pouncey to guard.

    makes you wonder if Gase continues to fool people saying Pouncey has been grading high.
