I slept on it, and I'm now OK with it, here's why

I get it now. It makes sense for why we took him. 

 

He was the highest graded player on the board and we grabbed him, but for whatever reason, I didn't understand why that was last night. He is so damn raw, I just didn't understand how he'd be able to make an immediate impact.

 

I forgot he was a giant.

 

This dude is HUGE, and anyone his size, is always open. Even if he is raw in his routes and shaky with his hands, he is an immediate redzone asset. He provides us with a big target to score touchdowns when we get close to the goal line, something we haven't had since pretty much ever. At this stage in his career, he doesn't need to know the route tree like guys that are 6' or under. he doesn't have to be shifty like the smaller receivers. All he has to do is work on his hands, and catch anything thrown near him, and he can produce right away. Not many corners are going to be able to knock him off his routes, he's just too big, and good luck tackling him when he gets a full head of steam.

 

If he can put everything else together, then I think we just got our Jimmy Graham. At least I hope so. Now all we need is another young guy to develop along with him, and looking at the talent still available at WR, I don't think we will have that issue.

More similar to a Ramses Barden imo. Tall long guy with poor-average vert and questionable speed. 

 

Calvin Johnson's vertical was only 2.5" higher.

Joe Adams, Stephen Hill, Marvin McNutt, and AJ Jenkins all had higher verts.

As for speed: http://www.fannation.com/si_blogs/super_bowl_blog/posts/45101-fitzgerald-boldin-prove-how-stupid-40-yard-dash-is

 

 

Now shut your bitch ass up and buy a KB jersey!

Huh, Calvin's vert is nearly 10 inches higher at 41'

There's a lot to be excited about and a lot to be nervous about. Nothing wrong with that, he is raw.

A couple things:

1. His comments about lacking motivation. Our very own Star quit football for a year. Remember that.

2. We have a technition as our wr coach

3. Cam, cam and cam. Cam is kbs favorite qb. Cam is now the leader of this offense. Kb will look up to cam and won't wanna disappoint him.

And 4. Kbs is a red zone target immediately. He can make an impact immediately in this regard. Let's see if this kid will put in the work. I have a feeling he will especially with avant and cotchery as mentors in that room.

Anyone saying we just drafted a bust or drafted megatron light right now are being premature. Let's see if this kid has the determination, motivation and talent to be an elite receiver because he has all the tools, all the great coaching, and some amazing mentors to learn from.

      For the right price… but if they did they would be pulling a Tepper, because they are trying to evaluate Shough and taking his best WR away is making it hard on him.

      see we are just not going to agree - unless you change your mind lol. Mine isn’t changing without hard evidence that Morgan supported it like a puppy dog.  He was the assistant. If he disagreed and said so, and they didn’t listen, he has to pick his battles. If he continued to oppose he is looking for work. He knows this stuff. I think he knows Bryce is a super long shot just because he faced NFL QBs and probably would have salivated at the thought of Bryce on the other side in his playing days.  Anyway I am going to judge him on what he has done since he’s been the man with the title.  I also would bet a stack that there were conditions placed on him and on Canales re Bryce Young. Can’t prove it. I am not supporting the Brooks pick, and rationalizing the XL pick. And rationalizing the Brooks pick to an extent, on the (assumed by me) mandate that was a condition of the hiring. Which was ‘sell out’ to make Bryce work. This year. Now. (2024) That is what those top two picks were.  IMO. They failed, id judged today.  I think Morgan is doing a great job really, once he got his feet under him and was allowed to do his job.  Fixing this team while accommodating Tepper/Bryce, more than a two year fix.    Anyhow I have beer to drink will check back later.
