26CornerBlitz Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 He does get a hand on most of the balls, but they are very badly thrown and no where near the catch radius of an average receiver. Also, look at the list of top pass catchers in college, most of them haven't done ****. Too high expectations for a limited WR with a limited QB Don't give me that. He's dropping easily catchable balls on too many occasions. It's excuse making or blame shifting to the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) He has a ways to go. Still think he has the talent and ability to be a #1 Wr. Putting those expectations on a rookie from a small school has not been the smartest of moves thus far. Historically, Wrs take a while to adjust. Some of the best Wrs ever have had drop issues early on. Comes down to Jones getting through it and succeeding.

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Preseason: Zay might be an upgrade over Sammy. 5 games into rookie season: Zay is the worst receiver in the nfl. I think he will be fine. Sports, especially at the pro level, is all about confidence. He doesnt have any right now. By all accounts, he is a good hardworking dude. He also plays in a terrible passing offense. But I believe in him as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I was hoping the new regime understood that trading up in the draft is a bad idea. A lesson learned, I hope. Stay where you're at, take the best player, take as many players as you can. Rinse and repeat. Trading up for a receiver with no elite traits because of his college production at a small school was a horrible choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Don't give you a reasonable facted based opinion? It's a fact that he's dropped a few catchable passes that have been right in his hands. To deny that is not fact based at all.

Lurker Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 He does get a hand on most of the balls, but they are very badly thrown and no where near the catch radius Gotta disagee. He's dropped a number of catchable balls and/or lunged/leaped at balls he should have continued running through to make the catch, ultimately dropping them due to poor body position. It's also possible that some of those 'outside the catch radius' throws you cite were due to mis-running the pattern or bad sight reads on his part. The kid better see a sports psychologist because right not his head appears to be a mess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont disagree. I will say as a former washed up wr, if you only get a few opportunities a game to get your hands on the ball, you get in your head because you need to want to make a big play on every opportunity you get. And if you drop a Pass, Your qb should get in your ear and tell you that Im coming right back to you and youre going to make a play for us. Our WRs go quarters without touching the ball.

NewEra Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 He reminds me of Steve Sax and Chuck Knoblach throwing to first or Mackey Sasser throwing back to the pitcher. He has the WR version of the Yips. I'm confidant he'll get over it, but right now, he's plagued and a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmalibu Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Horse crap. I can think of 3 off the top of my head. If you counting the pass at the end of the Panthers game or the screen in the Cincy game you not being fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real McClappy Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Kinda odd that he had no problems catching the ball in preseason. So what was different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Kinda odd that he had no problems catching the ball in preseason. So what was different? IIRC he wasn't running with the starters, so level of competition. And it was the preseason, with no game planning or in-season DB coverage intensity. In other words, a 'slower', easier game...

SectionC3 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 If you have actually watched the games, the one drop stat is inaccurate. I think at one point he had six in a row. He's hurting the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Peterman throws a better ball perhaps? Nonsense. Charles Clay and Jordan Matthews weren't having serious drop issues in the regular season. This is excuse making for Zay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLiever55 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Our current situation is a QB that needs WRs to make him look good and WRs that need a QB to make them look good. The loss of Charles Clay hurts the offense tremendously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
