One answer that may already be on the roster (BR haters, beware)

Oh, RumGone is back. Now this thread is finally worthy of some discussion.

[top dawg]

did this thread really just get ruined because a poster can't understand what the word "may" means?

 

not surprising.

 

We're dealing with TheRed here...

 

"Ruined" is relative. Many get off on the exchanges in derailed threads. TBH, I am kind of conflicted about it. ***LOL*** I knew that I probably should have let it stay the course---keep it hopeful and positive about a rookie that was fairly productive at the collegiate level---but sometimes you just feel like "getting back" with gratuitous trolling.

 

TheRed is right about one thing: I did back pedal from keeping on the subject---being hopeful that King will provide an "answer" for us in the passing game.  Who knows?

2 things hinder young receivers with our offense:

- it features packaged plays. You might be forced to run block or catch a pass on any snap and its determined by the coverage. They have to know how to read them correctly every single time.

- it requires actual run blocking skills. No merely getting in the way, you have to physically outmatch your opponent consistently.

If King or McNutt or whoever we get learns to do these things they'll play, otherwise they won't. It the same reason Barner still isn't getting looks, his pass protection failings keep him sidelined until they improve.

And Steve Smith was a 3rd rounder who was taken for his return abilities above all else. What is your point? That diamonds in the rough don't exist? That steals in the draft don't exist? I look at it the same way the OP is. He is a solid receiver (at least, was in college) who got drafted by a team that has TONS of talent at the receiver position. Denver has drafted GOOD receivers. They evaluate the WR position pretty well, based on who they have there. So, I have to believe this guy is good. Why we haven't activated him is anybody's guess, but to say he can't be that good just because he hasn't been activated is asinine.

I'm not saying he is definitely going to be our savior at the position and I do want us adding talent there if we can in the offseason. My point is, your reason for discrediting him is ridiculous.

 

You are one dumb motherfuger if you read my post and came away with that. The only message of the post was not to use this kid as an excuse to not draft top tier WR talent in the upcoming draft(s). It would be utterly stupid to bet this kid, that hasn't made an active roster, would be our future number one, or two, or even three at this point. We've had too many mid-round receivers fail to bank on this kid working out.

 

As stated I hope he gets a real shot, and makes it. But again, I'm not betting on it, and I would still advocate for using high draft picks on a WR in the next few drafts. If not we're just gambling with our future seasons, Smith isn't going to last forever.

Rivera said "s n a t c h"

That's what I figured, given the context.

Result was pretty funny though :lol:
