Unlikely. You're talking ideal speeds spread over 40 yards. Even then, that's under 3 inches. About 2-3/4. It could, but probabilities... You're talking fractions of an inch on most routes. It simply won't realistically matter. Everything else they do will matter far more than the incremental difference in speed.

Our best hope will be that remigio can take skyys job away from him since it seems like they do the same thing but remigio has way more upside. Bc I don’t think Reid’s bringing an outsider to replace skyy right away. Someone has to take it from him and it has to be someone who really knows his system

-Drag route screen concept on 3rd and 21 goes for 10 yards
-Bubble route where he jukes Marcus Peters' corpse for 18 yards (a nice play)
-6 yard catch

That's a step in the right direction? To me that's the bare minimum we should be expecting from Skyy. This isn't about be right or wrong, it's about the reality of the situation, and that reality is that in a NFL receiving room he should be the 5th/6th receiver on the roster. It's disappointing but it is what it is.

They'll turn the entire WR room over this offseason, minus Rice. Toney and Moore will probably stay because they're cheap, but it's not a set in stone thing.

**** yes it's a step in the right direction... I don't get it, the post in this thread saying all of sudden folks think he's great, is bullshit. No one has said that... a step in the right direction means he's shown more than he has previously. Yes, he juked Marcus Peters, then he juked #25 for another 5 yards. Did he drop any of those 3? It showed improvement. Will it continue? Most of us are not confident it will, but it was a step in the right direction, and I don't get bashing a guy on your team when he showed improvement. Being skeptical of it is fine, but I don't get the bashing after a game showing improvement.

I've thought Moore has looked great that past few weeks. He doesn't get a ton of targets, but he does well with the targets he gets.

Even the little things, like switching the ball to the correct hand, has seemed effortless for him.

Rice, Moore, and Watson are probably our best three right now (and I think the snap-counts will prove that out), even with Rice and Watson struggling with some drops.

Have you ever managed or coached? If you got a person on your team and they haven't been meeting expectations, and they show some improvement, you should recognize that while still implying that you expect more, not beat them over the head...

Let's take a look at the past few weeks:

vs Denver- 1 catch for 8 yards on 3 targets (32 snaps)
vs Miami- 2 catch for 33 yards and 3 targets (13 snaps)
vs Philly- 1 catch for 4 yards on 2 targets (36 snaps)
vs Las Vegas- 3 catches for 34 yards on 3 targets 33 snaps)

The point I am making is that Skyy Moore still ain't doing shit. Feel free to celebrate the tiniest successes if you choose (switching the ball to the correct hand... really?) but Skyy's recent performance in the past few weeks hasn't changed anything. Let's be clear, I am not shitting on Skyy Moore, I have come to peace that he very likely isn't going to be the playmaker we had all hoped. I am shitting on anyone commenting that Skyy's recent performance is anything to celebrate.


Are either you or I in a position to manage or coach Skyy Moore? No we are two fans on a football forum discussing Skyy Moore's effectiveness and/or contribution to the offense over the past few weeks. Again, my problem is not with Skyy, he is what he is- an ineffective receiver. The issue I have is the posters who are moving the goal posts so far to try and make a 3 catch 34 yard performance noteworthy.
