Did you mean to say Mark Duplass? 8 hours ago, whatdrought said: At this point I’d be content with him turning into anything more than a deep decoy. He made a great play to save the pick, and then he made a terrible play to drop a 50 yarder. Call it a wash. The DB actually dropped it before he made the good play but it was a good move and try by him, seeing it was going to likely be picked.

Robert (don't call me Woods) Foster has probably been dropping balls since pop warner. i'm not going any further... foster is gonna make some huge plays for us in the future....i can't wait. just needs confidence. 1

The Kid could take to some good Coaching and a QB who can get it over the defender. There isn't a number one on this Team right now ! could he become one. Magic eight ball says "try again later " Odds say. "not likely " sure hoping for him though.

T master Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 As long as he can learn how to catch the ball when it's thrown to him he should be able to be a #1 because he can get open but if he continues to drop balls when they hit him in the hands & chest that could be a problem !! I do like him BUT just saying !!
Augie Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 He needs to learn to CATCH before he’s a qualified NFL WR. He’s a looooooong way from being a #1. But I hope he grows some hands! Who knows what the upside is?
stevewin Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Don't think he'll be a number one, but I certainly think he can develop into someone who can stretch defenses. Do people forget deep balls bouncing off Beebe's hands? I used to call him "The Deep Threat That Couldn't Catch The Long Ball"

I used to call him "The Deep Threat That Couldn't Catch The Long Ball" if he earns a roster spot fairly and squarely and then become a solid contributor i would be delighted. The young receivers might well grow with Allen. might suck at contract time. but good problem to have , as they say. consider how he came into the League etc , be nice story for him to carve a solid spot out on the 53 this year
TheBrownBear Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 His upside might be Donald Jones. 1 1

You can be a great WR and not be insanely fast. You can also be insanely fast, but not a great WR. You CANNOT be a great WR if you cannot track/catch the ball. The greatest WRs in NFL history range from 4.3-4.7 (which is a pretty big difference actually in regards to what the NFL considers speed) Guess what they ALL have in common? THEY CAN CATCH THE FLIPPING FOOTBALL. They didn't have to be "coached" in terms of "learning to catch".

By the time they hit the NFL they should have firm grasp on catching the ball. see what i did there ? But i think the learning and skill development never ends. its their craft as they say these days. Coaching and film study helps. Thats why the NFL has WR s Coaches i guess. : ) 1

It happened for a few players throughout the years. What are your thoughts? I don't, but I know of someone on here that probably does ?

To be honest, based upon current performance, our top receivers are Andre and Ray Ray, imho...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 The gloves alone can almost catch the ball nowadays. You have to be pretty bad to not be able to catch in today’s game.

Odds are with this number of career reps and decent coaching even in college it’s not a matter of learning such an incrediblely basic skill for his position.
