get all up in jimmy's face, his jimmy's get rustled


I don't deny that he struggled against some press coverage, but he also beat it too. Yes the top physical CB's in the league played him well, but they also did it against a guy playing on a bum foot.

What gets lost in the conversation is that this was only Jimmay's FIFTH year playing football.... ever! He only played one season in college, and then in pros he played '10-'13. He is playing against people that have been playing their entire lives. He has so much to learn still.

To whoever said that he is at his prime and has no more to grow, you are completely wrong on this. He just finished his rookie contract and has only 5 yrs experience. He has another 8-10yrs barring major injuries, and he has a wealth of knowledge and physicality to be gained. The dude is getting better every season.

I'm all for keeping him, don't get me wrong. He was injured, yes, but he still got beat.

last year it was a wrist injury, this year it was a foot injury, but the argument of him being paid either top TE money vs. top 5 WR money is in the interest of the team.

CJ had a brachial plexus injury last year and still blew records. This year he had a knee and finger issue yet he was arguably the best receiver this year as well. At some point, they're going to have to use something to argue vs. jimmy's agents that he is a TE, not a WR and the lack of production vs. physical team/players is going to come up.
