Aw **** - we're in Jacksonville next week. Already looking forward to "He almost made a play" and "Guys, it's REALLY hot outside..."
If he toasts a linebacker in man coverage the way Clark could occasionally beat a TE when he got a 1v1 matchup vs him, then the circle will truly be complete...

I don't know if any of these are excuses, necessarily? I'm not some dorky fan who grinds all-22 video, so if his lack of targets (and just not executing when he does get the rare look) is because he's getting smothered and he's just not good enough to do anything about it, then yeah... flame away. If it's because he's getting open but not getting targeted, that's a slightly different situation. He's still not out of the clear yet, because he's not exactly playing with ****ing Tyler Palko out there, but at least there might be some hope that he still has a path to improvement he can take.
I gave him a long leash last year, and while I wasn't expecting miracles, I was hoping to see some timely Juju-esque catches. He was pretty ****ing disappointing.
I'm still keeping an open mind before writing him off entirely as a bust, but at this point the fat lady ain't just warming up. She's on stage, the pianist is playing her intro, and her big entrance is in two bars.
