Calvin Ridley Didn't Have A Single Catch

Hard to judge a WR when Matty only has eyes for Julio

a number 1 pick behind a number 4 pick that's a backup tight end. Guess we should have went Thomas in round one. We will see. Hopefully Moore has a coming out party.

Maybe somewhat surprising, but you don't draft a guy just for his first game or entire rookie season for that matter.

[Mr. Scot]

It's also not like he was picked in the top ten.

Low first round picks don't really tend to be that significantly superior to high second round picks.

You better curb your expectations for Moore now, or it's gonna be a longggg season bud. 

As good as he is you have high expectations for him. Nobody we've drafted in the last 10+ years has his skillset or potential at WR.

I would be skeptical if he didn't show that he could do what he did in college in NFL level environment. He's produced in  much the same way in the little time he's had.

I think he will have a CMC type impact. He's next man up now that #10 is healing up so it's on even more so for him.

Needless to say I am on that bandwagon. Hope he proves me right.

I'd blame Meg Ryan on that one, she was so dialed in on Julio that everyone else was invisible. And damn Hooper is a scrub.

WR is a tough position to transition to. Isn't it usually year 3 when these guys take a big leap?

3 years is average for a receiver to come into his own in the NFL.

average

Goedert didn't exactly look like anything special either.

I think his nerves got the best of him. He could still do better in the future.

Ridley was open on the last play but Matty Melt didn’t see him

At least year 2. Amari cooper was good in year 1 though

[Mr. Scot]

Yeah, if I were them I might be more worried about this Matt Ryan fella. He didn't look so good last night, especially at the end of the game.

They didn't sign him to a big contract or anything, did they?

Damn My Ball Zach Ertz played like azz too.

I was tempted to blame some of that on Foles but I could be wrong.

He has his moments but he's not as good as his post Super Bowl rep would make people think.

LOL, we are who they thought we are. I'm hoping this isn't a trend. If both top receivers in this year's draft don't end up producing in week 1 or at least even contributing, that sounds like a waste of a pick. How does ATL not get Ridley involved? With Samuel out, even with him in, i'd still prefer Moore as the #3.

Clearly a bust.

Maybe a change of scenery would help.  Panthers could roll the dice and offer a conditional 7th.  Falcons might bite.

I don't think you can judge a player's skillset off training camp/1 preseason game. The regular season is a completely different animal. Let's wait a few weeks before we break out the homer glasses.
