Not from the staff, if that's what you mean, but I've been promoting the idea for at least two months...repeatedly.

Wr's fumble too. Please keep him on the sidelines.

His main issue is interceptions. The fumbles were either getting hit blindside preparing to throw or running up the middle against 11 in the box. Garbers and Laird have some of those too.

The argument against playing him at QB or even RB is sound, but if he can catch stretch the defense and can catch a deep ball we should definitely play him at WR, if only for that purpose.

Just because McIlwain is playing WR?

Respectfully disagree. Since the coaches are evaluating McIlwain at WR, given his speed & running back ability, he could provide a missing element that our offense sorely needs: a legitimate deep threat. That would help open up the running game as well as give Garbers an additional target to throw to.

Is the ticket refundable? Would he used it for another trip? It's anyone's guess as to whether or not the game will be cancelled at this point.

When the weatherman says there's a 50% chance of rain, isn't he just saying it will either rain or not? I could have told you that.

To be a legitimate deep threat, he has to have a QB who can throw deep with reasonable accuracy. Thus far, Garbers has demonstrated no ability to do that

I think all this McIlwain at WR talk is just a smokescreen
