Oehser asks. Can he? Yes. However, right now there is no evidence this guy is anything but an average WR in the NFL. More on this soon.
If that improvement can be made there’s every chance Garcon could develop into a No. 1 receiver. That’s not likely this season, with four-time Pro Bowl selection Reggie Wayne entrenched as a reliable starter at the peak of his career on one side, but Garcon – though inconsistent – showed flashes last season of Pro Bowl potential. He has a rare combination of speed, strength and tackle-breaking ability, and the most important thing to note about Garcon is while he had more dropped passes last season than would have been ideal, he’s still very much a player who has yet to reach his potential.
NFL receivers often take a season or two to develop into their full potential – Wayne, for example, played three seasons before his first 1,000-yard season – and if Garcon can add consistency and reliability to his natural physical gifts, he could develop into a No. 1 receiver in the coming years to replace Wayne in the role when that time comes.
