It does hurt.
Gabe zigs when he should zag. He doesn't fight for contested passes. If it doesn't hit him in the hands he puts no effort into making a catch. You don't see any of this in a work out. Only in games where he will displaces someone else. Of course it hurts.
Beane called half the fanbase stupid for wanting them to draft a WR instead of all defense. Then he does this, just like last year when they passed on taking anyone beyond Coleman in a "generational" WR draft. They picked Cooper out of the trash bin. Will do anything but give Josh a proper weapon.
