Can we settle the rant's opinion about Dupre?

Last game he dropped quite a few balls.
Many of the drops were put in bad spots, Ex: multiple curl routes fired high and fast. Underthrown deep balls.
BUT, many ranters also say if it touches your hands, you must catch it.
I remember him dropping many of the same throws last year, so this isn't new. He DOES make big catches at times. He reminds me of Terrell Owens in that way.
So, are we happy with Dupre or not? Is it a result of bad throwing or bad hands?

Bruh...are you really doing this rn?

Dupre does need to get his shite together. I'll agree with anyone who says that.
He needs to play harder and fight harder. Seems like a diva.
On the other hand, Dural is the exact opposite. Dude is a beast.

He plays kind of soft but he's a very good WR.

He's got all the talent you want in a receiver, but he never seems to make the "above and beyond" play.

bad throws make bad hands IMO. That being said, he should have probably held onto a few of those and I'm sure he knows that.

We need to run some bubble screens with Dural
Posted on 9/7/16 at 9:54 pm to ForeverLSU02
Yes, the two we ran last game were only positive. Dural can ball.
Posted on 9/7/16 at 9:54 pm to beantown
its hard to say he needs to catch balls that are thrown like darts, 4 feet above his head, with 2 defenders on him.
that really isnt his game. Put some damn air under the ball, let him do work

You're blaming a future nfl receiver for his inability to look like a star in this offense. This isn't on him or anyone else other than the man in the hat.
Fwiw, I wouldn't jeopardize my career by exposing my rib cage trying to sky for overthrown balls just bc the fans think it's my fault for making the qb look bad

Yep. Dural is just solid all the way around.

Exactly he is not on the receiving end of Mettenberger passes...

He is not doing what you expect from a possible first round draft pick. He should catch the balls he dropped. Commentators said Wisconsin coach knew he does not jump high to catch the ball.

I think Dupree isn't as good as he was billed coming into college. He hasn't had a QB either so it's hard to fault him totally. But if he was a dominant recieved who could go get the ball, you might see more of that.

He's still raw. He's probably caught less than 200 passes in his HS and college career so going and getting the ball probably doesn't come as natural to him.

Dude can ball. He had made several big time plays. For example the Florida game right before halftime. You need to go watch his highlights before you make such statements. Every receiver has drops. It's part of growing at the position ask Odell.

Brandon Harris has a damn cannon for an arm but he's inaccurate like. It's almost impossible to catch this retype of balls. I doubt Calvin Johnson could catch that shite.
