QuoteTheRaven83 Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Legit question. In 2014, did anyone here think Adam Thielen could ever develop into a number 1 WR? If you say yes, you're a dam liar Edited November 27, 2018 by QuoteTheRaven83 1

hemma Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 He keeps making catches like he has the last couple of weeks and the question won't even need to be asked. He has come a loooong way since Preseason.
H2o Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Miles Boykin from Notre Dame. Good route runner, catches basically everything, and he's 6'4" 225lbs. He's what they hoped Benjamin could be for us right now. He can also be had on day 2 of the draft. On topic though, Foster is really surprising me right now. If he gets the nuances of the game down and continues to work at his craft then he's gonna be a weapon in this league for a long time. Edited November 27, 2018 by H2o
TPS Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 He's Peerless Price. Now we need E. Moulds. Someone like Sammy....
snamsnoops Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 I was disappointed with Foster early on. I mean he was getting open, but the drops and poor tracking was bad...... He has come a long way quickly. I just hope it continues. We could really use the help obviously and it will help Allen's development having more WR who can gain separation.
Mikie2times Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 We need a consistent deep threat. I hope he can become that. Taylor and Sammy in 2015 was really the last time we had it.

Doc Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 With a 6'2" and 196# frame and 4.3 speed, what appear to be improved tracking ability and hands, and a desire to get better, there's no reason to think he couldn't be a #1 WR. I'd still draft one just to give Josh more weapons though.

No question Harry can be that guy. Here's a good draft profile: https://thedraftnetwork.com/2018/11/26/2019-nfl-draft-player-profile-nkeal-harry/ You absolutely don’t plan your receiving Corp around foster hanging onto 3-4 catches in a row.... you take the best player available and Foster gets to slowly develop as a spot player hopefully.

I was a huge detractor of Robert Foster due to his preseason play, but his recent play has me thinking that he might have the goods. Let's see what happens. Can't look at preseason play for any rookie to be a good indicator about their play. They need time to develop and acclimate themselves to the NFL.

He certainly could someday become a player - but a month on the practice squad didn’t make him a different guy than he has been the previous 4.5 years. Your best shot is to ease him in with packages and limited pressure as a 4-5 guy next year and hope he grows into a 2-3 the year after. We still need to add two guys around zay that should be considered starting caliber immediately. Foster can’t be 1 ACL injury to a starter at camp away from being an every down player all season.

Sorry, wasn't suggesting it would happen over the off-season necessarily.

Unless you show me that he got a new set of contacts with an updated prescription or something - he’s just inconsistent. He dropped a few then he caught a few. It wasn’t like he was going to drop everything all season.
The Now Moment Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Foster looks to be improving. Shouldn't be considered a number one at this point. He should get full playing time now. He looks like a great stretch the field candidate moving into next season and with Allen's arm, one might conclude that they will become best friends soon. With a progressing Zay Jones in the slot, we could be looking at two good targets moving forward. I'd be looking for a tough number 1 and an athletic receiving tight end for Allen. I'd like to see what Daboll can do next year. He's shown some things with his play calling in the last two weeks with his use of Mckenzie.

I get it but if we only add 1 starter with zay... we are stuck with he and deonte as 3 and 4? And that’s assuming the starter we add actually works out (rookies don’t always) Not adding multiple guys is how you end up where we are today and potentially forcing him into an every down role.

Is he there yet, no obviously not but he just got called up and started playing.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 I want to see him have a 6+ catch game here soon. The yards are great but a real good WR needs more then 2 or 3 catches in a game. It’s great when those catches go for over 40 yards each, but I want to see Foster with catches on every drive. Not one a half.
