Well, he DID start the Super Bowl for us, for whatever that's worth. [Reply]

I doubt he'll be the #2, but I honestly have no idea what Reid or Barton Fink are thinking regarding the #2 spot. [Reply]

That's just not really true though.
The guy has played 382 snaps in 2 years. He has exactly 33 targets. He's just not that good. [Reply]

It seems as if some people have forgotten that Reid's expertise is on the offensive side of the ball.
If he felt that Pringle was a #2 or #3 in the past, he would have seen far more snaps and targets in prior years.
While I think that Reid can scheme around the deficiency at the #2 WR spot against most teams, something has to happen this offseason to acquire a true #2, unless they have complete faith in Powell.
Kemp, Sharpe, Calloway and Pringle haven't proven that they're anything other than 5's or 6's at the bottom of the roster. [Reply]
I like Pringle. Catches the ball when you throw it at him, shows up at critical times. Good special team player, just a quality guy. Hoping he has a great year. [Reply]
