Zay has had like zero. Hard to argue with that. Although I'd still like to know why Thompson can't get much separation deep when he runs a 4.3 40...he's faster than Watkins but Watkins gets way more open than him. Had TT thrown a better pass and Zay caught that ball we could have won the Panthers game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really hasn't shown anything all year, why is the board suddenly anointing him king playmaker?? They say you are always remembered for not how you start but how you FINISH. That catch by Thompson will remain in everyone's memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rough start yes but he has got his legs underneath now and will only get better. He is like Eric mounds. Next year watch out when Kirk cousin is throwing to him I hope you and all the rest saying this are right. I have been following his so called development.... So far though I have seen nothing. Routine drops, tuff catches in hands drops, no run after catch, no game breaking speed, no jumpball skill, no outside deep threat, playing volleyball in end zone, no end zone threat, no red zone threat, no return game apparently as he never does that, no ST play of note, They have continued to force the ball to him because he was a high draft choice, wr corp is putrid, and he is a McDerma guy apparently. Just exactly what do all you guys see in him that tells you he is an all pro in the making? I am listening...... 1 hour ago, Doc said: Yeah, I was impressed not only by his willingness to play in the first place, but coming back into the game. It all looked good and like a smart decision until he fell face first into a 12" pile of snow like falling into a huge feather bed and came up hurt. He must not be close to healthy yet. Fighting through it is commendable and I hope he and medical staff are smart about this. Edited December 12, 2017 by cba fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 What is the status of Benjamin? That is the question... He had some “issues” in the blizzard (a/k/a drops), but he was the key to the TD drive with Peterman tossing a couple great balls. THAT looked like professional football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't watch a ton of Miami, but I'm pretty sure Jarvis Landry is a slot guy. Also, putting a big slow guy inside against lbs kind of negate his advantage in my opinion. His advantage is against smaller CBs. Not really a fan of this idea at all. Edited December 25, 2017 by Ol Dirty B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Was his biggest fan going into the draft so very disappointed in Zay, he will have to have a massive off season of improvement and come in for a new chance.

Hard to keep Thompson off the field when all he seems to do is make plays. Hopefully Zay keeps his head up and keeps progressing. I still say he's going to be a heckuva player. It took way too long, but, How can they get this right? And yet Tolbert is 3rd down back, Vlad impalling people, Tate can't return ****, Humber less than Milano early on, Dimarco should be only playing beach volleyball, Clay should never be a Red Zone target, how can they get all that wrong???? Hell Woods at center is a liability now. How about Groy? just when you think they got it after healthy inactive Tolbert for a few weeks they throw him right back in in the most critical games of season.(biggest game is in hindsight after all playoffs needs failed yesterday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
