He has a spot in this offense for sure. Move chains and RZ threat He's made some big catches in traffic this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but hopefully more faster players spreads the defenders across the field more and we can reduce the amount of throws in traffic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 1 hour ago, thrILL! said: Wicks has certainly flashed major potential but he hasn’t surpassed Doubs yet. Maybe it happens going fwd and if it does, that’s great news for us. Doubs’ 8 TDs (tied for 8th in the NFL) going a little underappreciated in the meantime tho. I think it's accurate to describe Doubs and Wicks as 3a/3b. They do different things, and are used accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A knack for making plays when it matters most isn't something I am eager to take off the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCalebR Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Doubs certainly feels like he's got that James Jones role on lock if we're comparing this squad to the 2010 team. Maybe not special at anything but a guy who's gonna be a mismatch down the roster and can get the job done anywhere. Offense feels like it's in a great spot. Which should probably cool LaFleurs seat a little around here. Too many people wanting the guy fired for his pencil beard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably never be a star, but still has plenty of value. Edited January 1 by Mazrimiv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a play that @craig was referencing that was floated with a lack of velocity. Pass is perfectly arced over the shallow defender and on the spot. Arm talent better quality that mph fastball velocity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 12 hours ago, Leader said: This throw was the first thing I thought of when someone was questioning Love's arm earlier. When he made this throw in the game, I literally thought to myself, "that should answer any questions about Love's arm" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubs has kind of had his chance this year to ascend to the #1 role, and he hasn't really got it done. He's a nice complimentary wideout .. not sure he has #1 ability on a weekly basis. Probably a mid level #2, or a #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
