Not feeling good right now....

Damn....you just gotta love Gettleman.

 

Every time I listen to him talk I am more pleased that we hired this him.  He is going to bring a championship to this team. 

 

This video really tells why they like this guy.   I liked how he said he made the tough catches.  He looks like a beast and I gotta tell you they did their homework.

 

I truly hope he breaks our receiver jinx.

His 40 time isn't a concern either when you realize that a 10 yard split is much more important. 
 

  • Vincent Jackson: 1.57
  • Marques Colston: 1.60
  • Kelvin Benjamin: 1.62
  • Alshon Jeffery: 1.64

I think his physical traits are just fine.  As long as catches consistently with his hands and not his body, he'll be successful.  I trust G-man and Proehl.

Catching consistently has been an issue. Lots of dropped balls

 

Vincent Jackson 78 catches 12 drops

 

Brandon Marshall 100 catches 15 drops

 

Wes Welker 73 catches 10 drops

 

Calvin Johnson 84 catches 10 drops

 

Dez Bryant 93 catches 11 drops

 

AJ Green 98 catches 11 drops

 

All higher drop rates than Benjamin's last year.  Worry more about the plays he'll make, one drop doesn't hurt as much as one big catch helps.

Didnt want Lee as he was not the same player after his injury. 

 

Your point?

 

 

My point is you are being critical of a guy that is a freak of nature because he doesn't jump 4 inches higher.  

 

Gettleman and staff thoroughly vetted him.  They visited at combine, his pro day, a private visit at FSU, and a private visit in Charlotte.

 

When it was our pick, he was selected within 30 seconds.  That shows me supreme confidence that they got the player they wanted.

 

Sure, he isn't Megatron.  But he has more potential than any offensive player (besides Newton) in a LONG LONG time.  Even if he is never a top tier #1, he instantly gives us a redzone threat.

 

Not much more you can ask for at pick #28.

I wanted Cyrus. The most respected doctor for the NFL said his knee was fine and not an issue. 

 

If not Cyrus than Robsinson. 

 

Cyrus still might be there at 60 if a lot of teams are put off by that knee. Never know...
