This thread has tatum bell written all over it
This thread has “instant gratification” and “over reaction” written all over it …
it’s been 3 weeks and this was the first game where he actually was able to play a full set of downs to get into some kind of rhythm, and not come in for a play and than get taken out for a mediocre plodder
They also didn’t call anything creative because of the game script where they had the lead all game. Keep the chains moving, and don’t turn the ball over… if anything this is a positive that the Lions will use him to run up the middle a little more when Montgomery comes back. 4.7 yds a carry is pretty good all things considered for that game
If they were losing to Atlanta Gibbs would have got Atleast 5 targets
So many should have would have could haves it's making my head spin
I guess that's why bijan and Achane and ever other rookie rb that rolled out week 1 has looked like garbage
Bijan had 30 yards this weekend
and he scored the same amount of points as Gibbs. Now do weeks 1 and 2.
Look I have Bijan too…he’s a better RB and might be the best one in the league. My point is the ridiculous instant gratification of many posters….it’s 3 weeks into his career. I’ve probably been playing this game too long (30 years) and while I always want my players to be top performers week to week I also realize there are ebbs and flows and sometimes growing pains / learning issues / coaches confidence that can delay a rookies impact.
Yes, he hasn’t scored a bunch of points yet but he’s a good receiver, coach likes him and they said they’d bring along slow but have said recently he’d get more work and has done so, he’s talented, they have a good offense and Monty is JAG behind him. I’ll take my chances on situations like this all day, every day. They won’t all work out but I go for upside.
Exactly. Rookies are expected blow up week 1 or 2 now or they are garbage lol
Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase ruined everyone’s expectations for players. Jefferson might end up being the best WR ever, and Chase was with the same QB he had in college ….
Rookies have all different situations with different coaching staffs, different offenses, different supporting cases, and different QBs
Desmond Ridder is complete garbage and needs to give the ball to his RBs every play, and the Falcons have one of the worst coaches in the league who runs a 1940’s style offense because he is trying to copy what Derrick Henry did for him in TN making him look good, and cover up the fact that he can’t coach.
