People are missing the issue with Pickens. He has elite ball skills, is good with the run after the catch, but he is far from elite at getting open and very few true #1 WR have the separation skills he has (or doesn't have).
Sure it does. The horizontal axis is separation. He's below average. The chart also supports that his ball skills are such that he is still extremely productive against man coverage.I don't think this chart supports that argument tbh.
Ok, but so are Puka Nacua, Jamarr Chase, Davante Adams, DK Metcalf who are all clearly WR1'sSure it does. The horizontal axis is separation. He's below average. The chart also supports that his ball skills are such that he is still extremely productive against man coverage.
And that's fair - you can be a #1 in that realm (not sure I'd put Metcalf in that world) without them - it just makes is harder when you don't have McVay scheming it up.Ok, but so are Puka Nacua, Jamarr Chase, Davante Adams, DK Metcalf who are all clearly WR1's
Russ at less than 100% makes things a little murkier to me
I am hoping we see some cheat motion like the Rams and Dolphins
Russ at less than 100% makes things a little murkier to me
Murkier in terms of judging him, or murkier in terms of who gets the day one job?
Letting Russ go out there and get sacked 3 times if he was not 100% seems so stupid. Like you said, he's a guy that relies on his mobility to protect himself.Yes to both. Not that you can truly judge Wilson after 5 preseason series, but you definitely can’t judge a guy pretty reliant on mobility if he lacks that mobility because of injury.
For week one, I’m not sure it’s smart to trim the playbook and roll out a less than 100% Wilson if that’s still the case at that time.
Good lord Aiyuk just needs to sign already.
They let Jones play because he said he was healthy even after practicing ikna arm braceLetting Russ go out there and get sacked 3 times if he was not 100% seems so stupid. Like you said, he's a guy that relies on his mobility to protect himself.
The team obviously didn't let Alex Highsmith play because he's been dealing with an injury, but it's OK for the presumptive starting QB?

Depends on Troy and Fraizer if they hit does that make meyer look good. If Anderson keeps developing and Cook Mccmormick look like guys who can play next year“healthy as he can be” lmao f***
it’s certainly possible theyre trash at evaluating players- but the fact is every single starting OL brought in over past 2 off seasons has been a high pick or solid vet… idk about Meyer man.

Flores is a douchebag. I don’t know why anyone would side with him.Much respect to Flores, who admits he's fallen short in some areas. Wish our current HC admitted any of his faults.

Flores: Tua's words hit hard, but I have evolved
Brian Flores took a conciliatory tone Tuesday toward Tua Tagovailoa, a day after the publication of an interview in which the Dolphins quarterback called Flores a "terrible person."www.espn.com
