Agreed on Horton - better target, but rarely healthy. Shaheed plays all over the field, inside, outside, slot, RB and kick returns. His jet sweeps have been productive. The variety in the receiving room is so good - as the season goes on I think we will see that - and that's before we factor in the TE group who also have a very high ceiling. SHaheed is also good at moving players out of areas with his speed, opening it up for others. Horton has huge potential - if he can ever stay healthy.trharder wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2026 7:28 pm^thisSibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2026 6:03 pmHorton could do the same thing and is a better receiver.

If it's Horton or Shaheed, but not both, I want Horton out there.
That's not me saying I hate Shaheed. (he has more all-purpose yards than you think). That's me saying Horton is the better receiver.
Exactly. OBVIOUSLY if he gets hurt again we aren't wanting to play injured. lol
He's a bigger target making him a more difficult match up - he's a long strider too. I just don't put Shaheed in the same category as horton who is purely a receiver, and Shaheed plays everywhere. They fill different roles. Shaheed is more like Percy Harvin, a guy who you want to get out in space and see what happens, Horton is strictly a receiver - and that is not a knock on him at all - it's that they serve different functions BY DESIGN. My God Shaheed was an absolute life saver last year - in critical times. I really don't get the lamanations towards him three games in. I guess we're just ignoring his overall contributions to the team because he's not lighting it up right this second. Dude also seems to stay healthy - there's 14 more gamed to go, seems like we would reserve judgement until more games this sewason have been played. Guess not. Fire JS!
Fair and accurate assessment, in my opinion.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2026 5:47 pmI liked the trade and he made some huge plays without which they probably don't get to the SB. That said, he offers little value as a WR so if he isn't near the league lead in kick and punt returns that contract was a waste of money. Looks to me like he is making a log of business (or health) decisions out there this season.
