He might think Jeudy is better than anyone they could get in the draft. But calling about the cost of a player is pretty routine for GMs. WRs can be divas. I think we have a good group personality wise. Not sure about those antics last night, the dancing is kinda weird. Plus he has been just another guy stats wise. At least Pittman’s got a 1000 yard and a 100 catch season under his belt and I don’t think his QB situation has been any better. I loved the guy coming out, but he really hasn’t flashed at all.
Not ready to give up on Pierce. His adot is more than twice every other receiver on the team, and there is a direct relationship between adot and separation. The higher the adot the lower the separation. He’s their only real deep threat so it forces him to run deep long developing routes all game. By the time he’s into his route the ball is usually already out. Two targets a game just isn’t giving him a chance. Plus he’s just into his second year, long way to go.
