Odell Beckham 3.4 Mike Evans 3.1 Chris Godwin 3 A J Brown 2.6 DK Metcalf 2.4 Yeah this is all small sample size but so is Harry's career. After he has played a full season we can see where he is. Also people talk about him being a first round pick like he was a top five guy but he was one pick away from the second round. This can't be right lol. Maybe someone slipped to the turf.

Apparition Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The interesting thing with Harry right now is that he's not being used the way I expected him to be used when he was drafted. I thought he would take on the X receiver role, catching a lot of slants and back shoulder throws, the way guys like LaFell and Lloyd did in past seasons. It looks like Byrd is the guy doing that currently, while Harry is running a lot of Amendola type routes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Byrd is the guy doing that currently, while Harry is running a lot of Amendola type routes. Exactly what I thought. The evidence is right there, he's not being given these plays, and it can only be because of 1 thing - he can't do it (yet). Or can't do it consistently enough yet to be trusted with the play call. Tom chewed him out a couple times for not doing the right thing, and whilst Cam seems to have adopted him, he's not throwing to him still really. He's caught 4 or 5 genuine short to intermediate routes, but the rest of his production has been swings, screens or hand-offs. At some point the evidence has to be noticed - he's not being used as a WR 1, 2 or even 3. It's disappointing for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice post , let me add they know what he can do based on what they see in practice, like you said he's not there yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the passes Harry is being thrown an indication of what he can run or what Cam is best at throwing? Look at the Seattle game and you see a mixture and Harry did fine.

That pass that Jules caught down the field, THAT'S what we need Harry to do. Because he's a first round WR pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Harry with a catch farther than 10/15 in his whole career. Yikes. Also I read that Hakeem Butler moved to TE, maybe Harry should as well. Harry is smaller than HB however Shannon Sharpe was small and he turned out OK😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, its due to his own conditioning and injury, but still. I don't know what has ruined developing players in the NFL but I hate it. Wasn't it always 3 years before you could judge a receiver, as it's one of the more difficult positions to transition to from college? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Brown Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) How different of an opinion does Harry command if the officials don't blow the call on his TD run and the Patriots aren't playing wildcard weekend? Point is, he's young, he's made plays, he's played with 2 different QBs, one of which is infamous for not trusting new receivers. I ain't saying he's great or will be great, but give it some damn time Edited October 5, 2020 by Troy Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain't saying he's great or will be great, but give it some damn time For me, not that different, because again it was a play drawn up to get him some space close to the line (unless I'm mistaking it for a different play). He's not catching or separating downfield much at all, and he's a first round WR. He has use, don't get me wrong. And yeah, he'l get more time as he should. But it might not just a time issue Edited October 6, 2020 by Hunter2_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
