I said he was good like 5 different times. I just don't think he's better than what we have. That's my opinion. We have a really good WR room.
Can he help us? Yes, definitely.
Is he going g to come in a be WR1? Not likely.
I'll say he's a good hedge against Jacolby George. If George acts up, he's riding the pines watching. Rown would be productive regardless, but probably wouldn't dominate the snaps.
I see your point. But the problem is that most elite receivers are already on frontrunner teams.
Very rare to find a Belitnikoff winner in the portal. Addison was an anomaly and he also had a pretty good qb throwing to him.
So we might have to trust the evaluation if indeed brown ends up being the dude.
I doubt anyone would’ve thought Zay Flowers was gonna go in the first round after his sophomore season or even less, think he’s a number one receiver.
I get it, they told us elite and we want the big proven name. But none of the Ohio state receivers are entering the portal.
Reality is that stats don’t always equate to elite talent regardless of what we believe.
Rambo caught 79 passes for almost 1200 yards. That same dude is a free agent right now.
So, if we can get that same type of production from anyone in the portal then by definition he’s an elite transfer piece.
But doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a draft pick and it also means that what you see on tape is more important than stats. Yes stats matter. But they matter more of they are a complete outlier.
Bain for example on defense.
KJ Osborne by definition was not an elite transfer target who wasn’t being chased by the frontrunners.
Kj Osbourne had less than 600 yards here.
He is now on the patriots after playing with the Vikings.
Very few would’ve preferred Kj over Rambo just based on college production and measurables as well as HS and even portal rankings.
And yet one balled out and went undrafted and the other one is in the league despite having half of that the other had here.
Whoever tf we get may be an elite receiver that doesn’t put up 1k. But is likely a legit threat that puts an immense amount of pressure on defenses and makes us a way better team.
It’s one thing to have weapons with no arm. But giving Ward legit receivers at x y and z with good tight ends is gonna be a problem. There is also a legit possibility that the best receivers in the team even with an elite transfer might actually be in the tight end room.
