Plot twist: That "elite" skill talent turned out to be nowhere near as good as they hoped it would,


How would they know when they don’t use them

quote:

particularly Pitts. He doesn't run very crisp routes and it is much, much harder to just out-athlete people in the NFL than it was at Florida


Maybe but he did have 1000 yds receiving his rookie year. Coaching and development is also allowed if there’s holes in his game.

quote:

London is solid. He's not a gamebreaker like you'd want from the #8 pick in the draft, but he's perfectly fine.


Maybe more a product of terrible QB play. Also points to the shitty organization if you’re taking WR that high with zero plan at QB, take lineman take defense instead

quote:

Drafting a RB in the top 10 is stupid no matter who it is.


I agree with that but if you’re gonna do it, why not use him? It would be one thing if he wasn’t preforming but he’s been really good on the efficiency metrics most of these season. Complete waste to give 30+ yo Cordelle Patterson rushing attempts. At least the Panthers used McCaffery and the Giants used Barkley. I would not have taken him there I wonder whose decision it was, back to the point of a shitty overall organization

Lot of empty yards in games where they were getting their doors blown off. He had a grand total of one touchdown that season. He has five for his career.

He averaged 4 catches for 60 yards in that rookie season. Not bad, but underwhelming for the #4 overall pick.

No argument here. I wanted Chase or Sewell when they took Pitts and Jalen Carter or Broderick Jones when they took Bijan Robinson.

quote:

Again, no argument here.

zero plan at QB


They were going to foolishly try and milk a few years out of an obviously washed up Matt Ryan, and then dipshit Blank got all up in his feelings and told the front office to make a push for Deshaun Watson. That backfired, Ryan asked for a trade, and here we are.
