The 'deep threat' that can't catch isn't anything that moves the needle, in my opinion. We have Worthy and Hardman to run those routes, and Worthy can actually catch and track the ball.
Slayton, maybe. Diontae, sure.
That's a harsh assessment when MVS has proven he can make big plays on the biggest stage. [Reply]

He had the one game, really, the AFCCG when he was the only NFL WR we had left and beat the Bengals. I love him for that!
But he was putrid last year, and other than the pretty hilarious pee-wee league basket catch to seal the deal against the Ravens, he was basically an empty suit.
He's not coming anyway, he's a Saint now, so it doesn't matter. [Reply]

To me this is 2 year window that we need to maximize as much as possible.
That's because Tyreek Hil, Chris Jones, and Travis Kelce don't grow on trees.
We converted Tyreek into assets that included a young pro-Bowl star corner.
So that leaves us 2 more years of prime Jones and Kelce as a viable weapon.
It's not that we give up after two years. But strategy says to push now while we hold these cards. [Reply]

He scored TD's versus the Jags, Bengals and Niners. Plus made big catches against the Bills and Ravens. All of that in the playoffs. So nomatter what you might think about him, the record is the record. [Reply]
