True, but he is only 25, the age of many entering 3rd or 4th year depending on declaration. I don't see this as a big negative.
This feels forced to me. I'd rather gamble on Aroma.
I think you might be underestimating Schilens a bit with the addition of a viable starting QB in Oakland.
Ehhh I disagree. I just don't think Bowe ever reaches the same high levels again.

What he does at the 245 mark and toward the end of the video is pretty good stuff. He also shows some pretty good field awareness, alway popping up and moving forward in case he isn't touched. Also knows when to get out of bounds. He hammered the Packers and the Vikings pretty good.
Chad maintains his current value for one more year, and then he hits the Driver-like value. I'd rather have Aroma and pay pennies for older productive players at 210 points rather than have my value be entirely with an older productive player at 230 points. Even if Aroma busts, you aren't out THAT much.
People are assuming that a "Miles Austin" rears his head every season and the Aroma is that guy this season.
Not huge by any means - it's more likely that I don't value Chad as much as some, and also don't see a material gap in Bowe and Colston.
He makes Charles Woodson his plaything at about the 2:45 mark of the video. Just sayin. Defensive MVP we are talking about here.
Lets not forget Hester...dude was a CORNER in college, and has made steady improvement every year as a WR. People are writing him off too easily. I thnk Hester has every bit as much of a chance to to be the Bears top producer as any of them.
I agree with this. But that said, I think there is just as good a chance that Hester is the WR/PR/KR again if Martz likes two guys more than him. I could see him excelling in the Az Hakim role. Right now it looks like you have 4 guys atop the depth chart. And if you have 4 front runners, you really have none.
Was fixing to post the same thing. By far the single most overrated FF prospect I've seen in years. Talking about an average-at-absolute-best talent, a guy who's been passed around the league like a hot potato, he of 24 catches last year. I mean, seriously, WTF? Is all this hype coming off one game? Please join my league, give me 75/1000 and I'll give you 24/300. Please.
He started the last 4 games of the year, 3 of which he posted studly numbers. When given the chance to shine, he did.Will it continue? No one knows.
Weeks 14-17 are hard to ignore and Cutler loves him.14 21.6 vs Packers 8 76 1 12 15 3.0 at Ravens 2 10 10 16 28.0 vs Vikings 7 150 1 9 17 21.6 at Lions 5 46 2 8
This same sort of argument was often made regarding Ray Rice last year as his perceived value steadily increased throughout the summer. The writing was on the wall for those will to take the plunge.... same as Aromashadu. People were yacking/hating about Rice's value getting too high as it crept up into the 5th, 4th, and finally late 3rd round (redraft) as the season got closer, and many people threw in the towel and said forget it. Don't you think they wish they'd spent that 3.11 pick on Rice in retrospect? sometimes you have to go with instinct (backed up by research of course). The comparison of Rice pre-2009 and Aromashadu pre-2010 are actually fairly consistent. There WERE lots of carries and receptions to be had in the Baltimore backfield, it was just a matter of figuring out who was going to get them. When the Ravens shipped out that full back, i forget his name, it was obvious that McClain would play FB with Rice and McGahee splitting duty at HB. Same situation for the Bears. Under Martz and Cutler, THERE WILL BE TARGETS. Enough for several WRs to have fantasy value. You just have to figure out who. It's already been stated that Martz wants Hester in the slot and back returning punts. Knox and Bennet are NOT WR1 material.Was fixing to post the same thing.

This sounds like someone who hasn't seem him play much. If you have, I don't see how you can't see that he has potential.Was fixing to post the same thing.

I don't see the comparison with Rice. Rice was a high draft pick, Aromashadu a 7th rounder. Rice is on his original team, Aromashadu has bounced around a bunch of teams, none of whom really made any effort to keep the guy.This same sort of argument was often made regarding Ray Rice last year as his perceived value steadily increased throughout the summer.

Furthermore, it's not ONE game, and not even that he had some nice fantasy points in 3 of the last 4 games. he also had major targets, even in the Baltimore game when he only had two catches. 39 targets in 4 games. that's a pace of 156 targets in 16 games. We all know Cutler can lock onto his favorite WR for better or worse.... Brandon Marshall had 180 targets in 2008.
As for the 24 catches.... hmm I wonder who else had a season like that before breaking out big time..... wait for it...... Brandon Marshall once again!
Marshall 2006 - 20 catches, 309 yards, 2 TDs
Marshall 2007 - 102 catches, 1325 yards, 7 TDs
Aromashadu 2009 - 24 catches, 298 yards, 4 TDs
Aromashadu 2010?
If he gets 150 targets, and maintains his 56% catch rate.... 84 receptions... at his current YPC (12.4) thats 1,041 yards. Keep in mind this is before the MARTZ effect.
If you can get Aromashadu now, do it. Before the news comes out in training camp/preseason that he will, in fact, be the flanker in Martz's offense. The writing is on the wall.
I prefer Knox and Hester as dark horse WR's, but those highlights were better than expected. I actually looked up the Vikings roster to make sure that the DB that Aroma ate up late in the game really was Antoine Winfield. I still wouldn't hesitate to trade him for Ocho, Pierre Thomas, or a late 1st rounder, but he could very well prove me wrong by putting up a monster year.
Yes, and Rice's first name starts with R and Aromashodu's starts with D. Rice played at Rutgers and Aroma at Auburn. Rice is a RB and Aroma a WR. etc etc. Fact is, Martz doesn't care what round you were drafted in, or who gave up on you before. See: Kurt Warner and Mike Furrey.The comparison is in the opportunity to be a breakout fantasy star.I don't see the comparison with Rice. Rice was a high draft pick, Aromashadu a 7th rounder.

Winfield was not himself after coming back from injury, but yes it was him. I'm intrigued like others by him. He could be anything from a decent WR1 for the Bears to a situational player. But, the flashes of upside he showed last year is exciting.
Are we really still awaiting Palmer to return to elite status?
