The 'great problem' at wide receiver is now a major concern

Before the season, we analyzed Offensive Coordinator Bush Hamdan's comment about the wide receiver room having "no clear separation," framing it as potentially a great problem to have—a sign of immense depth.

After one game, it's clear that problem isn't great. It's a major concern.

The pessimistic interpretation of Hamdan's comment feared the room lacked a true No. 1 threat who could separate from defenders. After Saturday's performance against Toledo, that fear has become a reality. The performance wasn't just underwhelming; it was atrocious. All those OR's on the depth chart weren't because they were elite, it was because they all were struggling.
