I don't think I'm sleeping on him but I have realistic expectations for him. I think if he is used correctly as a slot receiver he should be productive. As far as his rookie season goes, I don't know if you can expect to see him anything higher than the #4 receiver (at best).

Don't want to see him returning punts, that's for sure.

I think anybody that was asleep woke the fug up when we all saw his speed on that 4th qtr touchdown play... Very reminsant of DeAngelo's play as a rookie a few years back on a swing pass in his rookie pre-season debut. The speed was blinding! ^He can and will definitely spread the field which will help everybody else on the field.

I agree the guy is talented and may have a future but we need to calm down. The other scenario is that a seasoned former pro bowl qb exposed a 3rd team/scrub defense and gave Pilares an easy six. As crazy as this sounds it is much more plausible than Pilares being All-World.

That article stated that to compare Pilares to Smitty is impossible at this point, because Smitty has a resume and Pilares has an exhibition.

But Pilares has a resume as well. He has been an athlete pretty much his whole life. He played in HS and college, as well as played 2 different positions: RB and WR. Not to mention a ton of other sports.

That tells me the guy can carry the ball and run routes. He at least has some knowledge of the two positions, and can carry some of the ball carrying skills of RB into the WR position.

Plus, the kid is fast, or quick, or whatever. But he has ability that is for sure. All it comes down to now is coaching, and retention of information, all while keeping the basics of catching, ball carrying, and athleticism. We shall see how it goes.

      Week 14 - Other NFL Games

      By t96 · Posted

      Brady and Belichick have always been incredibly unlikeable and have multiple cheating scandals. I get not enjoying seeing the same team win a lot but I don’t understand that as a reason for hating them like a lot of people do — blame all the other teams that haven’t been able to beat them, it’s not like this is the MLB with no cap and they’re just outspending everyone like the Dodgers. It’s an even playing field and they’ve just been better than everyone else. Mahomes’ family can be kind of annoying but I’ve never seen any reason at all to dislike him on or off the field. And Reid is about as likable as it gets for a coach. I can’t believe all the people out there overjoyed by and slobbering at the broncos winning the division over them, with fuging scumbag Sean Payton as coach.

      Politics aside I got tired of seeing the Pats in the Super Bowl almost every year, then Brady with the Bucs, the Chiefs filled that void in an annoying way, just ready to mix it up and have a new champion every year instead of these dynasty teams

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      Sycophants sold out to Young falsely portray doubters as not wanting to win.  Lame. We want to win. Of course. But one barely winning season at 9-8 doesn’t prove poo in the big picture. It feels good, sure. Fine.  It is more we don’t believe Young, so far, has demonstrated that he is the answer. And having the answer is far more important to us than a single season’s winning record. That maybe… maybe, happens by a game.  How many real games has he had that can demand we bow down to a multi year commitment and declare the issue settled? Not enough for us. And that is the big picture objective. I would bet collectively we see the people who are sold off of the three or four good games while ignoring equal numbers of bad games - some that we somehow still won, some we lost - as not having high enough standards.
