WR can be dumb as a post, they just need to be fast and catch the ball. Great ones are smart and can catch. We were lucky to have 2 at the same time with Reggie and Marvin
Jeff Saturday didn't make the league because he was physical like Nelson. He was smart like Peyton.

If a WR can't run routes and doesn't know how to read defenses to be able to make the correct break on an option route, he'll wash out of the league faster than you can say "fly". There are less things an OL has to learn than a WR to make it in the NFL. Pull, trap, zone, man, that's pretty much it for an OL. It's way less than option routes, move combinations, and the route tree, each of which WRs have to know, and each of which has at least as much information as the whole set of things an OL needs to know.
