What's up with hunter renfrow

[Gipetto]

A healthy scratch two weeks? I want him to succeed with us so bad. I need him to be our ricky proehl. Im hoping it's just his body getting back used to the pain.

[GoobyPls]

He’s not good anymore, last time he was productive was in 2021.

He's not that good id rather blood the young receivers

An uninspired passing attack that ranked 28th in the league through week 7 (and that has probably worsened through week 8). No receiver is going to play in this situation and light the world on fire, much less one where the HC never really wanted the receiver in the first place. For me, it's not about the receiver as much as it is about QB play and coaching decisions. Even our WR1 who is having a fine showing as a rookie is being held back by ineffective QB play and questionable target share.

Jimmy horn and Jalen Coker are better

He might go this week if Horn is down. I’m curious what happens when David Moore comes back, you already know somebody is getting voted off the island.

He’s washed, I would rather play Tremayne and Coker who can also block in the run game

[AggieLean]

He’s been open, deep, a few times and Bryce has missed him. 
 

Oh well. Keep on using Tremayne and Jimmy

That's basically how I see it. He's obviously not washed. I've watched at least three vids showing how he was open and Bryce missing him. I've also seen evidence of him still putting people in a blender. But, if Bryce is going to miss him and Canales isn't going to use him, we may as well see what the young guys can do.

Renfrow basically is exactly who we thought he was.   He is a niche slot WR. But he doesn't fit the O or Bryce though.  Renfrow needs a pretty good QB and scheme to be of use.  Bryce Young flat can't even hit him when he is open.  Folks saying Renfrow hasn't been good or washed are letting Bryce defense get in the way.  It's also just denying reality we watched on the field of him being wide open over and over and Bryce not being able to hit the broad side of a barn.  He probably has the best hands on the team though.  He is the best short/classic slot route runner on the team and it's not really close. 

but we need to be developing Tmac, XL, Coker, Tremayne and Horn.  I'd say only 2 guys are technically better than Renfrow right now in a vaccum and that is Tmac and Coker.

I suspect Coker can be better, but I haven't seen much evidence of Horn actually being better.

Nuanced route running should not be taken lightly.

If Horn ever reached the highest height that Renfrow has, I will be surprised. Coker may be able to do it, but it's certainly not a guarantee. I realize that Renfrow has been out of the game a few years, but I have seen evidence of him being his old self. That's also no guarantee, but I'm not certain that we'll ever be able to see any of these guysbteach their ceiling under the current circumstances.

Yea once Coker came back there wasn't really a spot for Renfrow

Coker pretty much replaced him once we activated him. And we want Horn on the field so we can throw that one swing pass/run play to him like 5 times a game and hope it works once

When they put Horn on the field I already know the play. Its so predictable that Canales should be fired for that alone.
