Our division really has some great receiving threats, this just further solidifies the need for having two top tier corners which is what Atlanta must have been thinking when they acquired Asante Sameul.

Sproles ahead of Smitty is a joke. I would bet 90% of his receptions this year were short dump off passes.

Sproles has good hands (i.e. scat back) but yeah his stats are misleading because most of them are dump off passes, same goes for Ray Rice. Now don't get me wrong, they both have damn good hands but the stats are eschewed due to the many dump off passes they are responsible for.

    • Been here a while but rarely post and most of them are smartazz. Mostly lurk just so I can sound informed while hanging out drinking beer in my neighbors garage. Amusingly a Huddle level of knowledge kind of makes you a subject matter expert. Thanks for that.
    • That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.
    • In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
