Has the Laviska Shenault Jr trade already paid for itself?

Shenault can’t get open and run actual routes though.   He is more football player than WR. 

DJ is twice the WR Shenault actually is. 

agreed. we saw that on the first play the tried to get him the ball and the linebacker was just drapped on him. you will have to scheme him the ball. he wont be able to seperate on his own. weapon once the ball is in his hands tho.

That may be the fly in the ointment.  His two catches Sunday are exactly the kind of plays that will make him a threat. 

I'm not going to throw in the towel on McAdoo, yet, but the returns thus far look like if he figures out he needs to scheme Shenault open, Shenault will not be put in a position to be open.  We seem to spend a lot of time trying to swim upstream, at least thus far.

Said it Sunday, I’ll say it again.  He is the best WR on our roster right now.  Robby sucks, and DJ doesn’t even try

If Robbie sucks, then DJ sucks. He's supposed to be our number one option. 

Shenault is a role player, with great potential as a mismatch if used properly. He isn't a go-to receiver.

Again 6th and 7th, dont even make most teams......example this year Barns was cut......now-a-days starting in the late 5th, just no more diamonds. Scouting has improved across the league, even the beaguals are decent at it now. 

Worth a gamble for the 42th player taken in the 2020 draft.... My only issue was Doug pederson dumped him and hes got the jags looking not like the jags... If he can not find a way to impact the O, wellllll..... Now 3 weeks into this, not looking bad, he was the difference in that win even with only being in on 10 plays.

Trevor didn’t have guys that could run routes and get open last year.  Shenault can’t do that.  

and they already got a RB/WR behind James Robinson they are developing in Etienne. 

it made sense the Jags didn’t want him. 

Shenault did great Sunday on a screen that the Saints frankly probably weren’t ready for. But I think it is unrealistic to think he will be to us what Patterson turned it for Atlanta.  Patterson was more freakish to begin with

Dang what a player patterson has become laaaatttte into career. Plus I no longer think the failcons are the worst team, theyve been a tough game each of the past 3 weeks. They are playing much better than I thought possible.  

The iiants looked like they were playing in the old pro bowl and expected shenault to go out of bounds. It got a yell out of me when he turned up field and made the honey badger wiff....I have not seen that in a while either... It was a relief TD too, man was it needed with the D playing lock-out ball. 

My favorite part of his game is not even being talked about, this guy WILL BLOCK you, soooo rare for a WR. On a couple of those good CMC runs, Shenault was out there looking like a bigger smitty blocking....

Patterson was a freak though. 4 time all pro and all decade team and that was before Atlanta figured out how to use him.

I think Robby and DJ are both capable WR’s. They’ve proven that. It’s Mcadoo’s offensive scheme imo. I’ve never seen such bland and non creative play calling. But I do wanna see Shenault more. Wish we’d use him coming out of the backfield like the Rams do with Kupp, 49ers with Debo

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
