Did you watch Terrance Williams play? I thought he was awful. Cordarelle Patterson got 5 snaps on offense. He very well may have been inactive too if it wasn't for his return skills.Shanahanigans said:I would be less concerned if he was active and didn't produce, than seeing him inactive despite being 100% healthy. That's a huge red flag for me, especially when the Titans only had 4 active WRs. The fact that they don't even think Hunter is worth having to run go routes and keep the defense honest, or in case of injury, has me seriously worried about his future.Andy Dufresne said:What rookie WR DID do anything last weekend?
In bigger dynasty roster leagues, 22+, I think he should definitely be on a roster, but as far as my 19 player roster, I prefer Terrance Williams by a relatively large margin. Not only does Williams have upside immediately being in the Cowboys' #3 spot, but he also provides similar potential to Hunter. I am still very intrigued by Hunter, but I am starting to think he will be more like Jon Baldwin than AJ Green.
IMO WRs don't need 3 years to develop. I think that is a myth. I do believe they had better be showing quite a bit by year two though. Flashes of talent at minimum. But IMO there is little to worry about at this point with Hunter. He missed a lot of the OTAs etc with an injury. So he very well could be behind from a mental standpoint with the offense. Besides, does it really matter if he catches 12 passes instead of 25 as a rookie?
Take a look at the number of top WRs that needed some time to develop. Every one of these guys required patience if you took them as a rookie.
-Brandon Marshall
-Demaryius Thomas
-Vjax
-Jordy Nelson
-Victor Cruz
-Randall Cobb
-Pierre Garcon
-Eric Decker
-Wes Welker
There's just as many, if not more WRs that develop into high end players after a year or two, than players that burst onto the scene like AJ Green or Julio.
Terrance Williams is in danger of losing the No. 3 receiver job.
Williams dropped two passes and ran the wrong route on a play that resulted in an interception on Sunday night. He didn't show any chemistry with Tony Romo and continues to struggle with picking up the Cowboys offense. Dwayne Harris will get extended look as the third receiver this week. Sep 11 - 7:34 PM
