Armanti's hands.

who here wants to drop AE because of tonight and/or thinks he'll never learn how to catch the ball?

please log off and come back in 2-3 years when you're opinion might actually be relevant..

And here we go...

1 year with a crap staff as a WR and he's already shown tons of improvement. Why did he have so many drops? Because he was constantly open, he can work on his hands and the finer points of being a WR. He's got the tools, the work ethic and the desire. I have complete faith in AE.

[bleys]

just making a point to those over-shooting the mark.. talk about the drops all you want, I'm just saying that is about the extent of the conversation, and doesn't have much implication on what that means for his future.. entirely too early to tell at this point.

so far, I very much like the flashes I see..

Put AE on the practice squad this year - what team would pick him up?

I think a few would take a shot.

We've had rotten luck with second rounders. Jenkins being the last one to pan out. Even he had issue, but was a beast on the field.

Not AE's problem per se (this IMO is a Hurney fug up) but you can't invest a 2nd round pick (33rd overall) in a player that is going to take 4-5 years to pan out.

31 other teams watching the potential he's shown this preseason.. especially considering they aren't completely short-sighted to the extent where waiting 2-3 years to figure out his true value/potential is unfathomable...

I understand people's concern with that, but he's on the team now. no offense, bringing that up has absolutely nothing to do with how to proceed with this guy in the future..

hopefully Hurney doesn't bet the farm like he attempted with Fox..

[PhillyB]

right now he is a liability. bobbling balls like that can (and did, tonight) cause interceptions.

however, compare him to the player he was a year ago and look at the progress made. he has given us no reason to believe that he's stopped making progress, that he won't continue to make progress, that he won't continue on his current trajectory of becoming a major playmaker by next year.

give the kid a year of learning with decent quarterback play before demanding he be cut/beheaded.

[CBDellinger]

He's running good routes consistently, he's in better shape and he is getting open. These things are all 1000 times better than last year. He should get better in time at catching the ball. But I like his progress over the last year.

[Jackofalltrades]

Dude. Where have you been?

Who has looked better than him at receiver in preseason? We throw to him more than anyone because he seems to get open. Yes he had some drops tonight....but they all were contended. I would have loved to see him hall in that little across route for the touchdown. Everything he does gets so much overreaction between both sides. He has a few good punt returns and we have the new Hester. He drops some tough passes and he needs to get cut.

Exactly. At least he seemed like he was consistently getting open which is better than anyone on the roster outside of smitty, shockey, and Olsen. He needs to work on it but he has made tremendous strides and it was obvious Rivera wanted to give some looks as the #3 WR

And another shitty thread, is this a record for this week?
