Vs the NYG in primetime he had 4 catches, 105 yards & a TD. That Jags game was a "Gerald Riggs" game. The Jints game I'll give you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us with longer memories, yeah that might be a stretch, but with younger people, TDs are more important because, you know, fantasy.

Ok Buddy Ryan, “All he does is catch touchdowns.” Buddy Ryan on why he traded Chris Carter to Minnesota 30 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e16bball Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 (edited) Bit of a non-existent start for Jahan in Philly last night. I didn’t watch the game, but I see that he played 42% of the snaps and garnered just one target on a screen pass (that was nearly a pick-six). Sounds pretty familiar.

This is a fair assessment, but the trolls jumping on him immediately are going to look dumb if he turns it around. Also, there is something to be said for him being 5-6 in the offensive pecking order, versus he was basically 2-3 here. Their running game is clearly better than ours, and Barkley is still an elite RB so he’s above Dotson, two other receivers are above Dotson, their TE is above him and I also count Jalen’s rushing ability.

Or he's just not very good and has issues separating from coverage? Do I think he's better than anyone on our roster not named McLaurin? Absolutely. But that has more to do with the state of our receiving corp than how good Dotson is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he is going to be great, but I also don’t think he’s terrible. He’s probably cast right in the Eagles though as a slot WR. Definitely overdrafted.

I’m not as concerned about the ‘pick swaps’ that late in the draft, but I’m sure that is probably the accurate valuation on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
