Mistake. He's a rookie. Gotta give him time to work through it. He's not coming from Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama or some huge program, he's coming from East Carolina. It's going to take more than 4 games to acclimate to the NFL. And historically rookie WRs don't do much, it's really only since the Watkins draft that rookies have stepped right in. And even looking at the 2015 draft wasn't anything special either. Aside from Amari Cooper, the 4th overall pick, nobody did a hell of a lot in their rookie year and he came from Alabama whose facilities look like this:











Meanwhile this is East Carolina's:

If this is any middle ground, i'd have rather claimed Rychel than Nolan

What does that have to do with anything?

I was making a point that players that come from huge programs have a much easier time stepping in than those that come from very small ones. Generally speaking. There are exceptions, like Wentz last year, but more often than not there's an adjustment period, usually lasts most of the first year.

Zay Jones didn't forget how to catch, didn't he set the D-I record?

I forgot to post it earlier. I thought it up on Saturday night and forgot about it until you said something. I figured Wednesday is when they'll name one if they do.

Speaking of that...YardsPerPass is tweeting gifs out...that Zay drop in the 2nd quarter ughhhhh

I think he will be okay once he settles down but man the Bills would have been 1st and 10 from the 50 with 3 mins left in the half. Could have easily turned that into 3 and the Bills would have been up 10-3 at the half at least instead of down 10-7

Yeah, and that's fine but it has tangential, at best, relevance to what was being talked about.

You're completely missing what the point was (though I'm not surprised).

The point was that rookie WRs don't typically come out of the draft and catch the league on fire. The year of Watkins/OBJ/Evans is an exception. The only other recent draft that had someone come out and make an impact right away was Cooper, and he went to Bama. The point was that Cooper had more available in terms of facilities while in college than Jones did.

What he has NOW isn't the point. He didn't have that for the years he was in school.
