[CBFF] Rex tidbit

I remember Marcus Robinson making Cade look decent at times.  He has some
horrible throws but Marcus would to up and get them for big gains.

Jim did a pretty nice job of answering this.  To be less specific, I think
that if you get WRs who know how to run routes, get separation by using
their body, adjust to the ball and go after balls that aren't particularly
well thrown, it can cover a multitude of sins.

I freely admit that I didn't realize this until the Bears got Muhammad.  Not
only does he do all this, it looks to me like he's influenced the other
receivers and shown them how to do it.  Even a really accurate QB can't
throw the ball perfectly every time because they need to put it where only
the WR can catch it.  The boys we have made Grossman look awfully good at
times last year.

Anyone remember how we all used to sit around and complain about how the
receivers never got separation when Jauron was here?  I do.  And I saw
Muhammad start doing it a lot better with a lot less speed than most of
those other guys who were around back then.
