I don’t know that people will be disappointed. I do think we have to temper expectations somewhat. Realistically you’ll see lower target shares and catch rate %. Disappearing in stretches. That goes with the territory of a weapon like this and as you said we have to recognize that this boom/bust role can help us even during the lulls. But I think his versatility to do some short stuff will immediately set him apart from Mvs and fans will grow to like him right away

I keep thinking of cooks as an example. Dude had a solidly productive year last year but a gambler or fantasy guy might complain about the times he finished games with 3 catches for 20 yards.

Can we still keep Sneed?

May as well engrave the Lombardi now.

Hollywood's presence opens up the full field.

There's a dipshit here on the board that loves to talk about 'decoy' as a negative, but the reality is that Brown forces a defense to respect and fear the full length of the field, which makes bigger holes for Kelce and Rice.

If you focus on stopping Kelce and Rice, Brown will eat you alive. If you sit back in two deep, Kelce and Rice will eat you alive. Few teams will have the secondary talent to stop all three.

But there will be slow games for each of the three, just depending on what the defense chose to focus on week to week.

And you’re only gonna improve on offense. Teams gonna be touuuuuugh.

I hope they **** everyone up on the way to an undefeated three peat

There’s definitely value in the decoy thing. Mvs did fine at least in year 1. But I don’t know he brought much value outside of that. We tried getting him going on catch and run, jet sweeps, etc… so I love the idea of having a clear out guy who can also contrivute outside of the 1-2 deep targets Mvs would get per game. I think you’ll see Hollywood get a much higher target share than Mvs. The catch % may not always been pretty since we’re so used to efficiency at this point. But it’s well worth what it opens up for the offense.

Oh, I agree. Hollywood is a significant upgrade. Overall, I expect it to show up on the stat sheet, but week to week it may vary.

Hollywood is going to get his touches. He didn't sign a 1 year prove it deal to be a decoy. He's capable of being a number 1 receiver, and I suspect Reid will regard him as such.

This is AWESOME! Love the signing!

It's certainly possible, but I'd be surprised if he ends the season first in receptions on the team.

I expect he'll be third behind Rice and Kelce.

He won't out-touch kelce for sure. I think perhaps Brown and Rice will get close to the same number of receptions. Either way, this offense is going to take off into another stratosphere and I can't wait.
