Yes but that doesn't prohibit you from being a very effective player. It can mean that you will be played differently in coverage to limit you but that's still going to have skill and usage elements that can nullify it. Point being that I am never going to get overly caught up on the "too small" narrative if the player has elite attributes that are greater than those physical limitations. That's the issue with Bryce. All of the supposed "elite" attributes turned out to be vaporware. So now you get left with a small, physically limited player that has little in the way of skills. Nightmare scenario. Horn is both fast and quick. Yes he is slight but if he were elite in other aspects(vision, route running, hand fighting, hand eye coordination, etc) that would be very much less significant.

This local player crap is how we have whiffed on several guys. College sports fans are fickle and they aren't real professional sports fans. When whatever bum 9th stringer they care about gets cut, they will jump to supporting whatever team had their bum 8th stringer still on the roster. This is particularly true of Clemson/South Carolina fans. Attempting to court college fans is a pointless exercise. You will gather far more fair weather and potential long term fans if you just fuging win games.

I think you are basically describing not being a fan of the team anymore. Do you watch the games on a week to week basis?

Tyreek Hill is small. It's about the ability to use the skills you have to get open and utilizing that speed. Horn has zero physical limitations in that regard. Is he skilled enough and dedicated enough to do so? To be determined. I will say that they don't seem to view him as a legit WR, which is perplexing. Especially since they view XL as one, despite the mountainous amounts of evidence otherwise.

XL is the player we are talking about. He has the speed to blow the top off a defense and he has to be accounted for. Notice how little effort they have to expend accounting for him versus Tet. Larry Fitzgerald was not fast. DeAndre Hopkins was not fast. Jerry Rice was not fast. Did that matter? Skill beats speed 95% of the time. Do yourself a favor and go combine to combine sorting 40 times and then look at career productivity. What quickly becomes evident is all those 40 time gold and silver medalists rarely make any NFL impact. Again, skill beats speed 95% of the time. Get SKILLED players.

They have tried. He stinks at it. He is not elusive or quick at all. He is straight line fast. Not to mention he generally lacks instincts and vision as a runner.

No. Horn is much closer to and still capable of being the best CB in the NFL. Burns has unquestionably proved he is not that caliber of player. He is basically a Tier 2 pass rusher. The group behind the elite guys.

There is no reason to come and be a sacrifical lamb in a team with an offense not set up for success. So you can get fired to cover for a bad head coach and then have your reputation partially tarnished?

Canales is unquestionably doing a bad job. His in game management is the worst we have ever had during the Tepper era, possibly worst ever. His personnel management is also atrocious. It's been about 60% hindrance and 40% help.

We have speed in the room. We need skill in the room. All our "fast" guys are super low on skill. Skill beats speed 95% of the time.

I'd rather win. What you should realize is that they were going to subject us to this, win or lose.

We are one win from the Sat. game not mattering. Who would have thought the red hot Saints and red hot Falcons would be a Week 18 storyline?

Whew. Not a catch. fug.

How the actual fug.

Are you shitting me.

JFC. Beat them again.

That was the game to Smith.

Only need a FG in a dome, though.

Wow. Stafford almost as clutch as Bryce by those stats.

Hold on, you pussies.

Dave Canales calling plays for Atlanta.

GET THIS GW FG

YES

He has had several this season he just didn't try adequately to get two hands on it. Not saying it was the majority but it was too many.

There isn't a lot of comparison in results between Surtain and Horn. Also, look at the "declined" column. That is where the 9 comes from.
