Sleeper tight end....

I will not stand for this anti Ian Thomas rhetoric. He is the 24th highest paid TE in the NFL for a reason. #KeepPounding 

Its true.  And he's 30th for this season.  We don't spend much on TEs comparatively. TE spend:

No one had any problem with Anderson until last season. No one was saying that he sucks, plays selfishly and throws his teammates under the bus or anything of the sort. The fact is is that he hasn't thrown anyone under the bus, not even Sam Darnold. 

Really? I've been against him since he arrived (thanks to his police report), but for on-field, I called it that season when he literally did NOTHING after like the fifth week in the season. Dude was pretty much taking naps on the field and doing nothing to help out his team mates. He got his good start because no one thought he was worth covering and he made them pay. They started covering him with a DB2 or a safety and he couldn't compete.

Year two he further exposed himself as another poor choice from the Matt Rhule former students pool.

All for Carolina finding another TE that can reliably catch the football. 

Having said that, the OP's video was a highlight reel of bad coverages.

Yes it was bad coverages and we are talking about an udfa. I was merely  saying that some skillsets(plucking the ball with his hands and contested  catches) showed up. His background (I linked an article above the video) tells how he started out a wr in high school and was used as a tight end and grew at North Dakota.  When trying to find footage of udfas, you have to do more written background research often. Like I said, not saying what he will become but he has tools and interested  to see how he does during the offseason.

So, basically you were just a hater from the beginning. That's all that means. 

Robby had a nice start to the 2020 season. Him not being as productive after the first five games spoke more to do with Teddy's chicken poo style of play than any coverage of Robby. I saw the games! I remember the analyst even reflecting upon how Bridgewater wasn't letting the ball loose at the right time to Anderson. The windows were there! It's no wonder that the first 5 weeks included Teddy's best YPA and AYPA save for maybe one to two more weeks out of the season depending upon what stat you're looking at. And, talk all the poo you want, Robby was still A Yards After Contact leader in 2020. And, your saying that he did nothing after 5 games is not quite correct (He had less than 500 yards).

Well he can block and play special teams so that may help him make the 53 man roster. I know his stats don’t look that good but to be fair he was basically 3rd in receiving stats, 2nd in receiving TDs and the team doesn’t pass a lot, less than 2400 yards total passing so maybe he ends up being a surprise? Who knows.

    • Honestly, I view the rest of this season like every game is a division game - meaning you can throw the records out.  Throw the perceived favorites out.  Every week, we have to show up and punch them in their mouth.  We’re gonna have to gut it out.  We can’t go into games against well coached teams and think, “well, the Rams already got that one, McVay is just too good of a coach and they’re too talented.”  “Can’t beat the Niners.  Shanahan is one of the best and they just play everyone so tough, even with injuries.”  We have to go into each game feeling like everyone counted us out and we have to show them why they’re wrong.  And speaking of the Niners - that’s the exact blueprint we need to be looking at - for the last, it seems like at least 5 years, they have been decimated with injuries.  And they still contend to win their division and make a run in the playoffs every year.  Even while starting a plethora of QBs.  Even with their best defensive players being out for the bulk of seasons…  their DNA doesn’t change.  They compete.  Their standard is winning and nothing less, so even if you’re the 3rd stringer forced into action, either show up and play to that level or find another team.  This should be our approach and I think the Saints game was an important wake up call… I occasionally listen to whatever ESPN show is on sports radio in the mornings with Chris Camry and I believe it was after we beat the Packers, they asked him about us and he said, “they’re a young team learning how to win.”  And that is about as accurate or a description as you can get.  It explains the hiccups and the struggles.  But it also explains why it looks so good when we put it all together.  What we need now is our guys to have that light bulb come on as a collective and never look back.  I hope last week was the start of that and it continues tonight and for the rest of the season..
    • The veterans played better last night and they actually were looking for Kon but Bridges and Sexton went for a combined 2-15 from three. That is so bad.
    • https://www.talkbasket.net/206848-lamelo-ball-frustrated-by-hornets-struggles-amid-durability-concerns "Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball is reportedly frustrated by the team’s lack of forward progress, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer." Apparently in his mind being perpetually injured and playing less than Gordon Hayward while on a supermax contract has no effect on the forward progress of the franchise.
