Isnt everyone saying that he is a stop gap measure? Is anyone thinking he would/should have anywhere near the carries if Bell a.) wasnt washed up b.) wasnt injured?

The difference between their production is, obviously, QB play. You are totally nuts on this issue, most issues you are well balanced, your objectivity is off the rails here. You might get some leeway if you were talking about potential, but you are talking in fact about how good they are now. Mims has played like 3 games and done fairly well.

Claypool is tearing it up. claypool has 8 tds, mims has 13 catches I'm only talking about how they've looked when they played. Mims has looked every bit as Claypool's equal, if not better. If you want to talk production only, yes, of course Claypool has produced more. There are good reasons for this, but none that suggest Claypool is intrinsically superior to Mims. They both look like WR1's or high end WR2s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What matters is if the next guy can make them. It’s pretty funny when you think about it. I don’t know how many people remember back in 85 or86 when they started out 10-0. I remember watching a game with Paul Maguire as one of the color commentators. He said they wouldn’t win anymore games that year because they don’t adjust.

I don't see WR1 potential so far based on this small sample size. He hasn't shown any shake. Maybe it's because the only routes they have him run are digs and fades so far. i'll give Mims this, good hands, aggressive to the ball, knows how to legally offensive pass interfere (thats a good thing). I'd like to see him get some separation and yak like the rest of his class gets otherwise he's Mohamed Sanu or Brashard Perriman with better hands.

If we keep Crowder & JD also drafts another WR (based on another pick for Darnold), a guy like Rondale Moore.

Well for starters he pulled both bloody hamstrings to start the season. Now I’m not a doctor or a physiotherapist, but in a sport where players have to be at 100% to be performing at the level their opponents are, do you think that might have something to do with it? I think it just might How quickly we forget. also, he never won by playing like Diggs. Players win in different ways. Lamb is not burning people with oodles of separation/“deeking” btw. Claypool plays more like Mims and their winning at the point of attack when the ball is close. also our QBs have sucked ass and not thrown on time. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see they are actually pretty good already. My thoughts exactly. Watching the rooks makes it all ok for me. Seeing Bryce Hall get his first real game action against some pretty stout competition was candy. Becton, Mims, Davis, Hall and even Mann are the goods imo.

All we need him to do is beat coverages, catch the ball and get YAC when he can. Thats what he excelled at in School and that's what he's done since being activated. I see no reason to think what we're seeing is not what he is. The only concern is injury which was not an issue at Baylor. edit: Oh... and Block. That might just be the best part of his game thus far in 2020. He's always done that and has had pivotal blocks on numerous plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a pipe dream to think Robinson is the WR we nab, that Pitts or Freiermuth are there in the late first and Ettiene or Harris are there at #33. This, or something similar is within our grasp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
