I hate to be a downer but ... Robert Woods ....


Recommended Posts

I did "he's not physical, and not particularly fast in pads ... as a result he doesn't create separation"

 

That was a nice grab in the bears game ... I'd never take that one away from him. And mike Williams who made one just as good later in that game. But after 19 games I'd expect him to have some nice grabs even as am average WR. His overall stat line however undermines the argument he's anything more that that.

 

Please give us examples of him being man-handled by a DB while trying to release. Be specific. Otherwise, admit you're trolling, you have yet to make an accurate (or coherent) observation about Woods as a WR. So, maybe visual aids will help you. Pull some examples and get back to us.

What a most perfect spot to make my inaugural post.

 

Thread….please come with me….it's time to die.

 

Ah death, just what we need more of around here, welcome. BTW the OP is below average and I find it confusing that he stole Joe The Six Packs screen name by putting those underscores in there.

I see his AVG @ 57. Also Sammy, a rookie, has nearly 2x as many yards and 2 TDs to Wood's 0, with the same QBs

 

We traded our future for Sammy for a reason. He is an ELITE talent. Woods will never approach elite. That is not what he is supposed to be. Comparing the two and asking why Sammy Watkins is putting up better numbers is crazy. Sammy better be putting up much better numbers.

For an apples to apples comparison here is a list of the 2nd round receievers to consider going back to 2004 (source: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/05/03/4884867/nfl-draft-a-decade-of-wide-receiver.html) How many receivers on this list had similar starts and went on to very productive careers? My guess is plenty. How many never amounted to anything in the league? Even more. Moral of the story? It is way too soon to make a final judgement on how good of a receiver Robert Woods is yet.

 

By the logic of the OP the Bears Alshon Jeffery "is simply not that great of a WR" as Robert Woods outgained him by over 200 yards (AJ 367 < RW 587) in a comparison of rookie years. I started doing the work and realized that is exactlty what a monumental waste of time and resources this would be on such an obvious attempt to troll for views. I'm going back to reseaching which politician is going to F me less when I go to the polls in about a month.

Woods is one of my favorite players. He is tough, runs hard, is an excellent blocker, always hustling, and fearless. His catch against the Bears was incredible and helped win the game. And like Kelly the dog stated, not every contribution shows up in the stat sheet. Woods is a solid #2 and will only get better with Kyle Orton at QB

actually it's just the opposite. We're supposed to just take it on faith around here that Woods is "great, a stud, steal @ 41 overall, the next Hines Ward, etc etc" even though his numbers say otherwise. I hope he becomes all the positive things people are saying about him (and more), but there are reasons to doubt it too. Until the numbers say otherwise, he's not "great, a stud, steal @ 41 overall, the next Hines Ward, etc etc"

Jeezus... I can never tell if you are serious or yanking our chains half the time....there are plenty of reasons to doubt anything...
