Yep we are trying to guess based on a lack of information. Hopefully soon we will know more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Everybody relax. I have it on very reliable sources that Mims is progressing well with learning the playbook and route assignments. Should be ready to contribute mightily in a few weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FidelioJet Posted January 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2022 Mims is done as a Jet. If he has ANY trade value he'll be gone in the spring - if not he'll be an early cut. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 7 hours ago, JetBlue said: People were hopeful he could build on an injury ravaged rookie season. Sorry if we root for players we draft who had successful college careers. I really don't understand the glee in some folks as if they are invested on seeing Mims fail. He will go to another team and hopefully get an opportunity in an offense more suited to his skill set. The idea that he gets no snaps yet Smith and Cole are playing a head of him is more an indictment of the coaching staff than anything on Mims. You have to remind yourself who youre talking to. ProdigalSyndicate has never been wrong about a player. Ever. And he'd rather complain about players than root for them to succeed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Really hard to see any other way this goes. If we can get a day 3 pick, great, but more likley he is cut at the end of camp, if he even makes it that far. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Trotter Posted January 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2022 I am not sure we have ever had a situation like denzel before. Promising rookie year and from what we know or are told, a great kid. Second year he cant get on the field. Is it possible he is simply not a fit for this offense? He was drafted for gase and now has lafleur. I know the natural reaction is he is a bust and for many reasons, but maybe his skill set and thought process simply does not match with this staff's offense. Hope it works out for him here or somewhere else. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlue Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 8 hours ago, Warfish said: Rooting and analysis/projection/evaluation are two very different things. We all rooted for Mims. We did not all evaluate him as a stud and/or project him to be a star. No one takes issue with rooting for our players and team to do well. And the analysis/projection/evaluation was that he could develop into a very good receiver, hence why he was drafted in the second round. He had a injury plagued rookie season, showed a some flashes so naturally the expectation is he would show even more in his second season. However, it seems from the very beginning, from his demotion on the depth chart in preseason, to his being inactive for several games to him being dressed and not even even seeing the field, to the lack of targets, if the idea was to ruin any chance he would get to develop chemistry or even confidence, this staff did a great job of it. I don't know what may have happened behind the scenes but I am disappointed that it seems he was never given a fair shot. It is now water under the bridge as it appears he probably will be dealt or cut. I will continue to root for him and hope he can get his career back on track. I refuse to believe this guy can't play in this league and is not potentially better then Coles and Smiths of the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no conspiracy against Mims, and he was given a fair shot. By all accounts, and watching when he did play, he is the problem. The hyperbolic hype last offseason here was simply wrong, as it almost always is. Enjoy rooting for him on his next team I guess, not my cup of tea rooting for other teams players. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, it could be that last year's coaches didn't care how he practiced or the routes he ran; maybe for all of the talk of Saleh being soft, he is really demanding. He doesn't scream or throw chairs, but if you don't show it at practice or in game, you don't play. Maybe this is exactly what he needs. At this point, bust is the most likely outcome, but since he was 'in the doghouse' and JD still wouldn't trade him, my guess is that they still have hope for him. Some WRs need a few years to transition. Again, I doubt it he makes it at this point, but since he has tremendous upside and is cheap, I would expect he has a good chance of another offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said today in another thread, my favorite evidence is what I see players do in the games, the facts. Mims got chances, in real games, with real passes. He failed to make the most of those chances, and often (IMO) looked like he was dogging it or otherwise unmotivated to give the best of his substantial physical talent. We'll see what happens, but it looks like he'll need to work on himself before he gets to his next team. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refuse to believe this guy can't play in this league and is not potentially better then Coles and Smiths of the world. Doubling down on the BS doesn’t take away from Mims being terrible. They stopped playing him because the guy had more penalty yards than receptions in two games, Which if your counting was Zero. If you can’t get on the field when your only first team receiver left is Braxton Berrios then your bad. I don’t care what they thought he’d be in college, in the Pro’s he doesn’t have what it takes. Next week will be his last game here, another 2nd round bust. It’s not the staffs fault, the guy doesn’t take his chances, and sure doesn’t look like he can even bother to put effort in even for a simple ladder drill, let alone impress anyone. Adios. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
