    Laquan Treadwell has barely played and Doctson has been injured the whole time; are the Vikings and Redskins disappointed with them?

    Not sure if it's financially possible to have Brock and Romo on the same team. So unless Brock gets moved (which ain't happening), don't think it'd be in play.

    I would be if I was them. Funny you picked those two guys and not players like Sterling Shepherd and Tyler Boyd or any other rookie who has stayed healthy this year. Disappointment does not equal bust. It just means you are not getting as much as you would like or expected. Especially after preseason and the first couple of regular season games. No one is calling the kid or bust or saying it was a bad pick. Right now, it has been disappointing.

    I never got into "Rookie of the Year" hype for Fuller. Braxton's now the more reliable target. Small one dimensional deep ball WR's with bad hands can be gameplanned against. That said, Fuller still flashes tools besides deep routes. His quickness can be used for short dump passes, screens for yards after catch also.

    Not as much objection to use him as a kick returner either. Return chances are reduced anyway with so many touchbacks now. Needing different ways to get ball in his hands, need best weapons to secure playoffs late in season. With Ervin muffing kicks, need some other options too.

    I'd like to see him with a real qb and a better offensive plan

    Hard to be good as a rookie with a bottom 5 offense

    Had an ok rookie season I guess. Those drops are way too concerning for me though. All speed and no hands on several occasions thus far. I would love to be wrong though

    I still think that his ability to stretch the field is wasted when he can't catch the ball. Teams aren't going to be THAT concerned about him burning them deep when they know that even a perfect throw has a very high likelihood of bouncing off of his baby hands.

    So you want to see more perfect passes bounce off of his baby hands? I guess that's fair, but it won't be less annoying, it'll be more annoying. If Osweiler's pass wasn't absolutely perfect, we wouldn't be mad at baby hands for not catching it.....but it was absolutely perfect. This is a baby hands problem, not a QB problem.

    Fuller can improve his technique. He can overcome his hands. That ball didn't hit is hands, it hit his are ARMS. He didnt use proper technique. That can be taught.

    How many of those passes by Osweiler were even catchable?

    And look at Odell Beckham ranked low

    True it doesn't show how many were catchable, but we remember multiple passes bouncing off of his baby hands, so there were likely a lot of them that were catchable....he's just not good right now.

    635 yards receiving despite missing time due to injury while having a trash QB and offense is not bad at all.

    For comparison Hopkins had 800 yards and Andre 970 yards their rookie years and they played all 16.

    And that's not counting his special teams impact.
