Hey man who wants talent when Ralph Lauren is envious of your style.

Sanders just posted that he was the 2nd lowest drop rate 2016. PFF stats.

131 pass targets
80 catchable targets
1 drop
1.25% drop rate
2/96 of eligable WRs (min 50 pass targets)

I'm the opposite. I've got tons of talent, but no style at all. Or at least my style is kinda "80's cool" which is not cool today.

This is my worst nightmare. Nothing I saw last year made me want to see another year of it.

You don't like a middling at best talent that history instructs us will almost certainly never be a great difference maker as an individual player? You don't want to invest more time into that?

If PL is close to TS come regular season, and we don't go with PL, I will drown myself in nacho cheese.

Watching Lynch in the pocket last year could be likened to a 3 legged gazelle running from a cheetah.

I hope he's been in the film room learning to read defenses.

When does the entire team hit the field for OTAs?

He started two games. With little first team reps. Of course he looked raw. He was still on par with TS. He completed 59% of his passes. TS completed 59.5%. And every excuse that TS got -and let's be honest he was given every excuse in the world- would also apply to PL. TS sucked at reading defenses and was a second year guy who was in QB meetings with PFM. What's his excuse?

Let's get back to the 3 legged gazelle comment. It was a fantastic post. Thank you for conceding.

It gained you three style points. I guess I just get irritated at people who defend TS but take shots at PL. By all logic, they should be clamoring for PL. He was on par with TS in a far more difficult situation.

Sure he completed 59.5 post injury when his accuracy and arm strength were down...Pre-injury it was consistently 65+ It averaged over 4 games 68.25

Ah, it's all injury! And we'll forget how the offense was called in the first two games, and the fact that Cincy's corners imploded.

I don't mean to be such an insufferable ass. I do apologize for being a killjoy.

Don't apologize. The same dudes saying that Kyle Orion was a perennial pro bowler if it weren't for his dislocated finger and perpetual high-ankle sprains have been reincarnated as Siemian apologists. Some folks just love an underdog, aww shucks success story to the point where they can't see the forest for the trees.
