We'll see? Ike is not getting any younger at all and even next year will not see the starting lineup, Even playing as a third WR last year he was targeted 53 times (in all 16 games) and dropped 3 balls. Jackson was targeted 55 times (in only 6 games) and dropped only one. Hilliard's best days are past him and Jackson is pro-bowl material, it's really not even close.

I meant we'll see about Jackson. The Jury's still out on him, as far as I'm concerned.

In your opinion the jury still may be out and that's fine, but to call him unreliable at best is a bit steep IMO, but that's JMO.

My opinion is I have concerns with his reliability. I'd like to see him put together 2 good seasons before I declare him a solid WR. Just me.

dude had 87 catches two years ago for 1200 yards and the year before that had only 68 catches but still had damn near 1200 yards, the guy has almost 70 catches a year since 01 except for last year when he missed ten games.

Hilliard only had over 60 catches twice in his career. If hilliard is so clutch that how come he has 1 TD in the last two years. He has also never had a thousand yard season. There is no way that he compares to D-Jax.

In three less seasons Djax only has 25 fewer catches for 577 more yards. Hilliard is a role player at best.

Also,

catches for first downs last three years
hilliard - 22,24,38
jackson - 29 (inly 6 games), 59, 54

But just to keep this ball rolling I have to say once again that Cutler will be just terrible in the NFL. I love the guys that are 3rd 4th round guys until they throw in shorts...
