New Wr Commit!

Bro, know when you’ve “mated” someone. Simply pointing out that he played for a good team doesn’t mean he’s a #1 WR on a team that is just as good (considering he was a #3 WR on the team he is leaving, and his coming off of major surgery, I’d say that’s a fair assessment).

I’m not going to amend my statement but there is the health concern so from that perspective he might not end up surpassing Vele in the first spot.

That said, just about every WR he was competing with at Oregon and FSU were highly recruited 4 star guys…they have plenty of “real” options that are probably more athletic than anyone in our room currently so saying he wasn’t the top WR at Oregon or at Florida St doesn’t diminish his skill and ability if healthy. He has WR1 potential. Oregon recruits in the top 10 every year…FSU is close so the depth of talent he’s working against is a legitimate factor. In other words it’s a lot more difficult to be the one there than it is here at that specific position.

Now our recruiting is on a 5 year upswing so maybe in a few more years we won’t be having this type of conversation. One other thing…this player was essentially brought in because of his relationship with Cam. There is a connection there and it’s similar to the connection Cam had with Kuithe prior to the injury. It’s human nature to look to for someone you know and trust…not saying he doesn’t have that with all of the receivers but I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was different with some than others.
To take it further, I honestly think that if Brant remained healthy Dalton probably wouldn’t have gotten enough touches to be a first rounder. Who knows what would have happened had he not gotten that chance to shine.

Anyway, Pittman and Simmons are two really good fits for what we’re lacking…now we move to the next 1-2 guys that complete the room.

Thanks for elaborating. I think the fact that he has a great relationship with Cam is compelling. Cam has shown that he throws to the guys he trusts (to the almost near complete exclusion of throwing to anyone else). Running out of trusted targets really hurt us toward the end of last year. Hopefully, this guy makes a full recovery and contributes like you think he will.

I love Cam. But if there is one thing that he can improve on to make him nearly unstoppable, it would Cam’s tendency to look almost exclusively for a particular target. I agree with the assessment that Kuithe’s injury was critical to Kinkaid’s success and draft. My concern is that Kinkaid had the skills to do that all along, but would not have been able to showcase them because of Cam’s preference to throw to a particular receiver (sometimes regardless of coverage).

It is certainly not an easy skill (only the best QBs can do it well), but if Cam can improve his ability to check through his reads, his game will be incredible.  

Nobody has proven me wrong (but Onlyu makes as good a case as you probably can).

I was wrong about FSU being bad – I admitted that. I’ve been wrong lots of times and admitted it lots of times.

I have not been proven wrong about Mycah’s ability. Several people have presented arguments, some of them incomplete or just bad. Many of them are very well-reasoned. We’ll see who is right at the end of the upcoming season (or the one after that I suppose).

Nobody has proven you wrong? WTF?

Did you read the whole post? Do you know what proven means? A few of you have made great points, I’m not taking away from that, but that doesn’t prove me wrong.

If my position is that he isn’t a WR1, and you can’t point to anything that says he actually is a WR1 (not potentially will be or could be, but in actuality IS a WR1) then you haven’t proven me wrong.

It’s really not a difficult concept, I’m not sure why you are having trouble with it. Or maybe you are just attempting to mischaracterize what I said in an attempt to make yourself look better/make me look worse?

Can all just agree that if we’re making onlyu double down on something… we’re doing it wrong??

Wow. Did you not read any of the replies? The problem is not your opinion. The problem is your delivery. Just STOP. You are making yourself look foolish.

“NoBoDy HaS pRoVeD mE WrOnG” sounds a lot like a little kid who just has to have the last word at any cost.

1. I already admitted that my delivery is inflammatory, and was done so intentionally to invite actual replies instead of just the usual downvotes.

2. It is true that nobody has provided factual evidence that I am, as a matter of fact, wrong.

3. several posters, most notably Onlyu, have made many good points that are at least as valid as my concerns. Nevertheless, those points do not prove me wrong. It is entirely possible that I am wrong, and that is okay.

4. When Pittman is WR1 for the Utes I will happily admit that I have been proven wrong.
