St. Louis Rams 2011 Stat Predictions: non-Amendola wide receivers

Is there a bigger question mark than the Rams' wide receivers? Sure, Danny Amendola is a solid contributor for what he does, but what he does is incredibly limited. Donnie Avery is gone. Mardy Gilyard is gone. Laurent Robinson is gone. Instead, the Rams are moving forward with young, athletic options.
Brandon Gibson has flashed an ability for YAC beyond what anyone on this roster can offer. In his first game as a Ram, Gibson went off for seven catches and 93 yards. Since then, his ability to produce yardage has been consistent; so has his ability to produce fits of rage among Ram fans.
Danario Alexander isn't any easier to predict. Talent? Check. Off the charts athleticism? Check. Knees made of hamburgers? Exhibit A. DX is another example of the Hoomanwanui syndrome. Sure, if he can stay on the field for 16 games, he can have a notable statistical output. I dare you to bet a cent on that if.
Mike Sims-Walker is arguably the most unpredictable of the three, as he's yet to take a regular season snap with Sam Bradford as his QB or in a Josh McDaniels-led system or with the Rams. Combine all those three and you have a salsa of unknown. Mmm, mysteriously tasty!
So for this thread, we'll do the impossible: accurately forecast what Slippery McFlipperyhands, Hamburger Knee and Mike Skywalker will do for the Rams in 2011. Best of luck. To help you out, let's keep it simple:
Brandon Gibson - receptions / yards / TDs
Danario Alexander - receptions / yards / TDs
Mike Sims-Walker - receptions / yards / TDs
Get at it.

(My three favorite receivers actually)
Gibson – 65 receptions/600 yards/5 TDs
Alexander – 45 receptions/525 yards/2 TDs
MSW – 65 receptions/600 yards/4 TDs
I think nearly every receiver will get around 500 yards but no one will get more than like 800 yards. If someone does, my first guess is Gibson and my second guess is DX.
God I hope that's not true...
We will have minimally upgraded in play calling/executing if our top two receivers average less than 10 yards per catch.

what's Gibson's ceiling?
i have him in my fantasy league, and right now he’s buried on my bench, only because i don’t know what to expect production wise.
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!
I will not - lose! -Jay Z-
no, no, no
take him off your bench………..because in 4 weeks, he’ll really be on one, so you need to use him while you can
ouch!
not what i wanna hear….so who’s gonna step up for you guys then? Bradford i predict will have a breakout season(at least i hope so – starting fantasy QB) and the balls gotta go somewhere. MSW? i think he’s a little overrated.

no sir
you bench Andre Johnson and start MSW immediately.
Realistically, it’s kind of hard to read how well MSW will do. He was a quick pick after McDaniels came to town, so I’m inclined to believe that he’ll be a beneficiary. We’ll see….the preseason was relatively quiet, though he did score. Too little PT to tell, but I’m hoping that with a real QB throwing him the ball, that he’ll join Sammy B in that ‘breakout season’ category
well for both my fantasy teams sake
i hope you’re wrong! hehehe

Bottom line
Nobody on this site has any idea what our WRs are gonna do this year. One guy (my money would be on Gibson or MSW being that one guy) could have a monster year and the others average. Or maybe they’ll all get 800 yards and 10 TDs…ie, SAM spreads the ball around. Amendola is an important part of the team, but he’s not gonna have anywhere near the number of catches he had last year.
I got Gibson on my fantasy team too. Hold onto him, see what happens, but I wouldn’t start him week 1 that’s for certain.
The truth is always the right answer....

Gibby's solid.
Not spectacular, but he will give you a consistent line. He’s most likely the candidate for a breakout type year, though I’m not seeing more than 800 yards (my prediction was 847). Yes, 800 is a breakout year for Rams fans LOL.

hey baby steps
Rome wasn’t built in a day, neither was the Rams. Just so you know, i, along with alot of my fellow fans, are rooting for you and Spags.
As far as Gibson, what type of receiver is he? possession, move the chains guy? Big YAC guy? what?

Inconsistent, that's what kind he is.
But he’s only been in the league 2 years, and he’s gotten better by leaps and bounds each year. I believe he’s gonna continue to get better this year too.

Big year for Sam
gibson – 72 rec/ 909 yrds/ 5 tds
DX 113 rec / 1,781 yrds / 14 tds
MSW 75 rec/ 1018 yrds / 8 tds
Oh snap!
I thought we were talking real life numbers……I’ve already got over 3000 yards with DX in Madden 12. I’m undefeated in my first 4 games……and at this rate, he’ll have over 12,000 yards.
I’m hoping to win rookie of the year. Fingers croooooooooosssssssed
Wishful Thinking.....
Big year for sam….. yes
Them number, hell no….
Sam Bradford to Austin Pettis
Kinda has a ring to it
Sam would be throwing for nearly 5,000
with those three taking up 3,700 yards themselves…

You must be joking?
thats record setting numbers for Bradford without SJAX and Amendola or even Kendricks. Sorry but you sir are delusional.
Thats the problem...
He hasn’t even factored in Kendricks and SJax with that prediction. I don’t think any of those guys are going to have those inflated stats. The balls going to be spread around so much in this offense, including running the ball that I doubt we have more than one receiver go over 1000 yds. Right now I say Kendricks looks like the best bet to do that.
Yes, I'm joking
My predictions for GIbson and MSW were serious, I think they will lead the team in all above categories and I do think Sam puts up big numbers this year. They might be inflated still, but I think Kendricks’ numbers will dig into Amendola’s stats more than any one elses. I just posted DX’s stats from his senior year in college as my prediction for him because it was fun and certain factions of Rams fans love to bash him and are up in arms that he made the team over Avery – which is o.k., I just thought it was funny.
BTW, I think he made the team over Avery because Avery apparently made it clear he wasn’t happy with a diminished role with the team (reports he asked for a trade, then posted it was “mutual” that he got cut). If you’re the Rams, would you rather that backup roster spot be taken by someone who wants out and is disgruntled or by someone who is fighting through everything he can to stick with this team and the NFL…. could be wrong, but just my 2 cents
Gibby - 73 catches, 847 yards, 6 touchdowns.
DX – 34 catches, 521 yards, 4 touchdowns
MSW – 61 catches, 783 yards, 8 touchdowns.

yeah, I like these predictions.
I’m thinking around 800 yards for both MSW and Gibson, less for DX cause he’ll be injured at some point and I think Amendola will get 40 catches for 375 yards.
I think Kendricks is gonna get 1000 yards and 15 TDs and he’ll be our leading receiver.
The truth is always the right answer....

I factored in YPC
so that it looks realistic. I’m almost certain DX averages at least 15 YPC.

why guess, we might as well act like they are this bad.
Is that great man formally known as Tevin T. Broner, also I'm on twitter T_bron

to be honest
they are usually less dicky over there. maybe it’s cause they know alot of us Giant fans since we hang around each other’s blogs, so they aren’t too on the defensive with us. i feel bad, nothing you guys said was bad at all. please please, put it on them Sunday, not just for us Giant fans, but for every St. Louis fan….and every American for that fact. because we all know eagle’s fans hate America.
hehehehhe……..
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!

eagles fans r dicks
I’m def not saying we will win but we can give them a better game than they think we will.

Brandon Gibson -69 receptions -756 yards -5 TDs
Danario Alexander -56 receptions -807 yards – 7 TDs
Mike Sims-Walker -78 receptions – 932 yards – 9 TDs
How many catches are there?
If Bradford completes 350 passes I would guess that the tight ends get 75, Amendola gets 75 and the RB’s get 60. That’s 210 catches and only 140 left for the rest of the team.
MSW = 60
Gibson = 40
DX = 10 (before he gets injured)
Clayton = 30 (at the end of the season)
Brandon Gibson = The Next Brandon Lloyd
Brandon Gibson – 75 / 1325 / 8
Danario Alexander – 37 / 568 / 4
Mike Sims-Walker – 60 / 746 / 6

Let's not forget that when Clayton comes back
DX’s numbers suffer………meaning don’t exist. That is, he’s not on crutches by then anyways
I’ll give him 20 catches max this year
…..man, I’m hatin
Hmmm....
Gibson… 64/725/4
DX… 31/415/3
MSW… 79/1140/9
these three will.......
surprise everyone I have a feeling.
Gibson 60/ 771/6tds
DX 35/ 505/4tds 16games 14/209/ 1td 6games
MSW 72/ 877/7tds
