Speaking as someone who hasn't necessarily followed Ebron's career that closely, did he ever actually live up to his hype?

What I've read about him gives 

Simply put: no he has not. Between his slippery hands and injuries, he's been an effective first round bust. But that doesn't necessarily mean that he can't help our offense. Some think that he's washed, but he's only a 29-year-old TE who might come in as the best we have.

Fair enough...

What I've read about him gives me the impression he hasn't.

He was on a bad team in Detroit for 4-5 years. Bounced around a big after. But no, he has not lived up to the hype of being #10 overall selection. I think he’d be a great addition here as a role player.

I don’t understand the “bust” criticism of Ebron. Sounds like duke bball and NCST fans that don’t know what they are talking about. Was he supposed to be Antonio Gates or Travis Kelce? 
 

he has 33 touchdowns almost 4K career yards and has deal with shaky QB play and some injuries but he is not a bust. He has been in the NFL for almost a decade lol

If he wasn't a bust, he'd still be with Detroit. He has never played anywhere near a first round level, much less the number 10 pick. That's a bust. Now that's not to say that he can't be a halfway productive TE or at least a red zone threat.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
