Yes, the conversation was about production.
No need to call us blind. I cant speak for the entire board, but you wont find a single post from me saying that these guys arent going to develop into special receivers. I think Deebo is a future #1. I am anxious to see Hurd get out there. Pettis I havent lost faith in. We have a lot of raw talent.
Its not about being patient or impatient. Its about discussing what is currently happening on the field. Which, in spite of the reasons you have laid out, is still happening.
and the fact that there is no sure bet a hurd will play this year. and there is no sure bet taylor will be a player when or if he plays this year
Right. The topic was about the now. And in the now, our WRs leave a ton to be desired. Doesnt mean they wont be good or they wont develop into reliable players even as soon as later on this season. But right now we have:
Deebo: inconsistent and having drop issues
Goodwin: disappears at times
Hurd: may not play this season
Bourne: ok as a #4 who has made some plays this season
RJJ: Doesnt play much. Seems to make 1 big play everytime he gets snaps, but doesnt play much
Taylor: hurt and who knows what we will get out of him
That is the now. This could easily change later in the year, next year, the year after, etc. The raw talent is there.
Exactly.
Legit concerns:
Deebo: inconsistent, concentration, pace of picking up the offense and many soft tissue injuries
Goodwin: deep speed never used, tons of concussions, oft-injured
Hurd: oft-injured and style of play lends itself to more and raw
Bourne: meh in everything but good team guy, good blocker
RJJ: Kyle won't play him much, goes down on first contact
Taylor: oft-injured, no deep speed, one-dimensional
Pettis: weak mentality, not a dog, inconsistent, complacent
