He's definitely not a burner. I'll never have him run deep routes but the kid runs pretty good routes and is physical. Does the staff have to drop him? We need players that can actually catch. Not saying he's Aquan Boldin but I seen Aquan make a lot of money running short routes, catching everything and being aggressive. If we drop him, kid would do well in any conference especially pass happy conferences like the Big 12 and Pac 12. To a lesser extent the Mac and C-USA. I like the kid, he's a great ball player. He can be a good compliment to Richards.
See you are attributing qualities to the kid that just aren't there. He had problems with drops this year according to reports. Second it's not appropriate to compare him to Boldin either. While Boldin wasn't a blazer he was a top level athlete. Dingle will muscle his way to a tough catch here and there but he isn't jumping out the roof though. His go to at the next level would be the slant as his strength would give him that route more often than not but otherwise he would be fairly limited.
I didn't know he struggled with drops but does he have a history with that? I always thought his hands was his best attributes. Boldin was an elite athlete I'll give you that. You are right. However, you're talking about fringe HOF/perenial pro bowl Boldin. This kid is 18. He has good athleticism. The kid runs good routes to make plays. He'll run a lot of short and intermediate routes. He isn't trash and personally I don't think we have to drop him. You need that physicality at the wideout spot. You're talking as if he's trash. He has some really good attributes. Now we should definitely get a speedster at wideout. Someone to take the top off the defense. He also needs to work on his concentration if he battled drops this year.
I'm not calling him trash whatsoever. I even have called him a take because of uncertainty of the WR class when we need numbers. Still everything I have said about the kid has been accurate. He isn't a Miami level kid and if we ever wanna get back to being elite these are the type of kids that should be plan B at best for us. On the other hand poster after poster has engaged in hyperbole about the kid. One person compar e him to Jarvis Landry with his main argument being he ran that slow time a long time ago therefore he will easily improve that time. Other poster have mentioned his hands when our very own Ariz has stated he has struggled with drops all year. Lastly, and don't take it personally but you called him Boldin. Brah, he ain't Boldin.
This has been blind rationalization about the kid for a minute know because he throws up the U and talks **** online. Remember Kevin Nelson? Dopes on this site were saying how we stole him from Urban and how he was such a bad *** and all they had to ride on was the fact he talked ****. In the end the tape didn't lie, dude was hot trash. Now Dingle isn't hot trash but he is nowhere as good as people make him out to be. He ain't Hurns and he ain't Hankerson. Those two had decent tape and their talent jumped out.
