Blech. I couldn't possibly be less of a fan. I documented my incredulity about the hyping of the guy when he went to GB on some thread around here a couple of years ago. He wasn't actually a TE1 last year -- 54 catches for 688 yards and 2 TDs put him squarely in the top-half of TE2 range, which I guess if fine as far as that goes. But he's got no big-game upside. He drops the ball, runs horrible routes at (a lot of) times, and is remarkably unable to go up and get the ball in traffic given his body. And last year was his best year in his 9 year career. I got to watch him up close and personal for years at Tennessee. He is just not good. He looks like he should be awesome. But he isn't. He thinks he is (when he announced that he should be franchised by the Titans as a WR, it was one of the more absurd things I've ever seen in the NFL, and that's saying something). But he isn't. We have 9 years of data now that shows exactly what he is, IMO.
Unto each his own, obviously, but I think he was overpriced at $8. For $2 or even $3 I could squint and see it. But that's why there are thousands of different rosters in this competition every year. Give me Hooper for that $8. He has the dropsies and can't run routes at (a lot of) times too. But he's on the right side of 30 and is still theoretically improving.
