In reality, we all knew we had no true no. 2 receiver going back to last season. Darling was not the stud signing Peterson hoped he could become. Engram is a slot guy and a situational receiver. Haley discussed a lot about consistency during camp about his receivers. Bradley was the only other guy we had and he is a pretty bi-polar as receivers come. Some games he'll be on fire and others he can't get open and drop every pass that comes his way. In other words, we have no No. 2 receiver who could be that consistent guy alongside Bowe. Maybe Toomer can be that consistent guy to be the safety valve when Bowe is being double/triple covered. Bowe is not in danger at all.
