Recommended Posts

Just saw an article on Battle Red blog and it made me realize.

We're historically bad at drafting mid-round wide receivers.

Nico Collins

Isaiah Coulter

Keke Coutee

Braxton Miller

Jaelen Strong

Keith Mumphery (yeah, me too)

Keshawn Martin

DeVier Posey

 

Ugh.

Only one of those WR’s was drafted by the current regime though and he’s doing pretty well.

Who's that? Nico Collins?

 

Define "pretty well".

I really think we overrate Nico. I've seen nothing to make me think he can be a solid #2 on a good team. Not to say it can't happen but I havent seen it.

We have a habit of projecting greatness from our players after a handful of flashes.

"If he could stay healthy"

"If he could stay focused"

"If..."

You can apply this to all sports. I've certainly said this multiple times about Chelsea.

That’s good to know - this isn’t some random decision, they’re trusting Stroud a lot. One of the biggest complaints during the BoB/Culley/Lovie (Easterby) era is that the top of the organization didn’t listen to the players.

This is quite literally the opposite of that - listening to the point of making financial decisions based on feedback.

Yeah that’s big time.
