Appropriate for this thread.

He's going to be more sick of it 2 and 3 years from now when they can't afford these guys.

Romeo Doubs reaction to this thread:

Less respect = less attention in coverage, but then, that's the beauty of the whole deal of not having a true number one. If you're a DC, who are you gonna load up on? ok then, what are you gonna do about the other three (or four)? But wait, what about if a TE slips out? Put in about 8 DBs and stop all that, and what are you gonna do about our excellent RBs?

What can you say, haters gonna hate, Doubters gonna doubt. Then when it is a clutch moment they will cry out “O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?”.

More weapons = more better offense.

Also, not having a true #1 means they can adjust easily to how the defense is rolling coverage. One week Watson might go off for 107 yards and 3 scores, the next Reed gets 112. Another week Doubs catches 9 for 95, then Wicks gets 6 for 97. Whoever they don't take out of the game can take over the game. If Love continues to develop, this can be a very entertaining offense.

It sounds good except the part where you fanboy over Watson and don’t give any of the other guys a TD. Might have to start calling you Juliette when it’s a crucial 4th and 7.

Great problem to have.

I wasn't fanboying, I was using numbers from actual games. The others didn't score in the games they had their most yardage and/or number of catches. Doubs' best TD game was the opener last year, but he only went 4/26 in that game. I could have chosen Reed's 6/89 with 2 scores but went with the higher yardage. The other option for Wicks would have been 6/61 with 2 TD's, but again I went with the higher yardage because that feels like a standout stat for taking over a game.

I recognized the numbers from last year and I presume Mad may have also. He was just bustin' ya balls.

Well hopefully you’re picking the games they won. Guessing the 2TD game were wins. High yardage could mean they tried playing catch up. TDs is where da money at!

It’s ok to fanboy sometimes man!!

Can't spell Doubts without Doubs.

Romeo and Watson are in year 3; which means if might make financial sense to lock one of them up early, perhaps for a reduced price on a long term deal. But I'm not sure GB wants to make a commitment to either yet. what is our best case if we think they are as good as we do....they "maybe" have 3 on second contacts ?

Jayden Reed is Antonio Brown. Without being crazy.

He looked good. Doubs was clutch. But honestly, on one of Reeds big plays it was the exact route that Melton succeeded with last year and Tyrique Hill has made a career out of. Sometimes scheme helps make the man. Sometimes the man covers bad scheme.
