Davis is the pick

With uncertainty over who will get the most playing time at wide receiver this year, a hot topic for debate is who will catch the most passes.
Put me down for Rashied Davis to win. He had just 17 catches last season, but Davis has more experience in Ron Turner's offense than any of his teammates, and he appears to be peaking. Davis is also tough and durable, willing to go over the middle and take a shot, and he rarely drops a ball.
Marty Booker has 50 or more catches in six of the last seven seasons, Devin Hester is the popular pick because of his immense potential, Brandon Lloyd was impressive in the off-season and preseason, and Mark Bradley led the team with 8 preseason catches.
I'll still take the 5-foot-9, 187-pound Davis.
Still feel that way after the game, Bob? With seven different receivers catching balls, there may not be a go-to guy. If there is, it's Clark/Olsen split outside. Manning also hit seven received, but 18 of them went to Harrison and Wayne.
Absolutely. Davis' 2 catches only amounted to 10 yards, but no other wode receiver caught more passes. And Davis will show up for all 16 games, unlike some of the other wideouts on the roster.
Who'd have guessed the Bears would win by 16 at Indy! ... wow! The Vegas oddsmakers missed this one by almost four TD's. Betting on NFL games these days (with all the parity) is like playing Russian roulette.
I hope Booker (and Bradley) have good years.
Kyle actually looks pretty good (translate into decent). Where'd those down field passes come from? Thought I was watching a Purdue game.
