Agree that he breaks out as a receiver this year, but he's not very productive as a returner.

He broke out last year as a 1st time starter with 850 yards rec and 4 tds despite having a mini 3 game slump in the middle of the year. But he broke out last season.. Now it's time for an ALL ACC type season and i think he will..

Great speed, zero vision and zero lateral quickness.

He is good but Scott and Waters are better overall talents.

You conveniently leave out that Dorsett is a GREAT route runner. Our best. That combined with his speed is alot.


And saying zero vision and zero lateral quickness is more than a stretch. Extreme hyperbole is more like it. Those might not be his strong suits, but his strong suits more than make up for it.

Smh.

You think somebody gets as open as often as Dorsett without being a good route runner? Dorsett has his faults, but his route running is pretty sharp.

Agree. It's actually kind of weird. An above average route runner with average to below average YAC ability. Most guys who fit that description aren't his size.

Dorsett is a boss. When the last time a sophomore WR went for 850 in a season? Usually takes guys until their 3rd year to shine like that. Kid is much better, faster and stronger than last year and so is his QB. He will put up even bigger numbers this year. Kid had some drops last year and everyone still hate on him. Another thing is once he starts to go off, you can't just key on just him because Scott, Hurns, Waters, Lewis, Coley will light you up as well. Add in the TEs and Duke and its pick your poison. This offense is going to be lethal this year!
 
Dorsett is a Mike Wallace type, but without the diva attitude. He can take the top off of a D like very few can. That is a very useful skill, and will open up things underneath. He also seemed to have some chemistry w/ Morris on broken plays. I don't understand all the hateration. It's not like he was a Sr last year, dang. Let the kid grow and improve.

dude is the best route runner on the team. drops were his problem, not getting open.

I would say Hurns is the best route runner b/c for a guy that supposedly doesnt have elite speed he knows how to put a move on a corner quick, get open, and make the catch.

.... but with that said, our receivers are so good it's nit-picky even trying to say whos better then who at this point.

i like hurns alot and route running and hands are his strength, but not in a long time have I saw a player who gets behind the secondary as much as dorsett does. seems like he is ALWAYS open.
 
I just want #4 to have a great year

But most of all I want him to be consistent CATCHING THE BALL

I think ppl are making too much of Dorsett when it comes to drop balls.... He did catch 58 passes last year, i bet the number of drops he had last year wasnt even in the double digits.

Drop balls happen, the best receivers in the NFL still drop balls.... and i already know he is going to have better hands then he did last year so i'm not worried about that.

Dorsett is sick as ****. He is our #1 guy as far as I'm concerned and the numbers back it up. Great route runner. Tough kid too.
 
I thought he had a great season last year but that ND was just him not ready for that big lights... Which is fine but i don't spect him this season to have one game going forward that'll be to bright for him

in my case, it isnt necessarily the frequency of the drops, just the magnitude. he isnt dropping slant routes. just in the notre dame game he dropped 2 would be touchdown passes in the first half. its this concentration in which i think we will see a significant improvement.

Dorsett had one of the best receiving seasons in UM history last year but of course the next guys are better. SMH.

Yeah, and he caught the game winning TD against NCSU. He had 180+ against GT. Other than the ND game, I can't remember many notable drops. I have no idea why people focus so much on that game when talking about Dorsett to put him down...Duke didn't do **** either but everybody excuses him.

Duke was a no show for notre Dame. He was not running with any authority whatsoever.

"Hateration?" You sound like a sports announcer. I agree with everything you say, and I hate to be the vocabulary cop, but it's "hatred."
Same as there's no such thing as "trickeration." Whoever told you hateration is a word pulled a little trickery upon you.
