He puts up a lot of empty numbers. His athleticism isn’t anything special like it was at OU. He’s no Deebo. He doesn’t have breakaway speed. Way to many drops like his rookie year.

I’d rather have Gallup than Lamb and may consider Wilson. Lamb is a good player. He’s not a special player.

After watching the quality of WR play for just these past 2 playoff games probably has skewed my judgment somewhat but not totally.

I restrain myself from deep WR discussion and especially watching other teams WR1s and sometimes WR2s even produce the way they do in comparison to the much hyped Coop/Lamb/Gallup trio.

Underwhelmed is a very appropriate description for all. Not just Lamb.

Exactly ..funny other teams #1 dont shrink in big games...

You guys are just plain old impatient. You do realize he is a 2nd year player, do you not? Cee Dee is a 2nd year player. I'll expect a jump to Super Stardom in year three. Like Mike and Dez . but throw him away
after 2 years . At least you guys are consistent. It must be exhausting being this much of a ******, all the time.
Dez and Mike made flash plays from day 1. Aside from 1 catch vs the Vikings last year how many flash plays does CeeDee make? Hes not Coop in his route running yet. That’s his best hope to be a super star because he doesn’t have the hops of Gallup or Dez’s leaping ability or Michaels physicality.

1100 yards 9 tds with 79 receptions

with all the hype coming out of this off-season, I was kind of underwhelmed

it was a solid season, but not great and he had a bad drop in the final 2 minutes of the playoff game

Overrated. Doesn’t have elite speed or hands. Drops way too many balls. Average size. Struggled when Amari was out. Below average separating from DBs at times. He is a good WR but he’s not a #1.

His drops are not out of line with any of the other top WRs, other than say Adams, who basically catches everything thrown to him. He only had 3 drops all year. Deebo? He had more drops than Lamb with the same amount of targets.

The drops stink for sure but acting like Lamb drops more than his peers is a myth that needs to die.

Gallup? Going back to his last full year, 2020, he had 6 drops to Lamb's 8 on similar targets. Hardly some massive difference. Lamb is a more talented WR.

I mean lets be real is it the QB that makes him drop balls..I get Dak is in no way the QB we saw play in that AFC game those are good QB's but for reall does our WR crew look like any of the guys making plays for them in that game?

Decently good season but people are disappointed because they were measuring him for his jacket in Canton. I said this before the season even started with all the stuff I was seeing. Now he's out of favor because he didn't live up to people's own lofty expectations.

Are you asking if Mahomes was throwing to Cooper, Gallup, Lamb and Wilson, would they look better?

I think the answer is a definite yes.

I also think someone like Andy Reid would figure out ways to use someone like Lamb with his open field ability better than Moore has.

He got scared going over the middle. He was stretched out and took a few hits throughout the year. May have taken a toll.
1 or 2 hits going over the middle is not considered taken a toll. Other WRs get hit a lot more, yet they keep on ticking and making catches over the middle in crowds.

Very underwhelmed. Seems he disappears as often as Cooper. And way too many drops.

Rapidly becoming a Diva with zero heart.

Well that would be dumb considering i just said both those QB's were better..but tell me does this make CEEDEE drop the ball less?

He had a pretty good season but I want to see this highly touted YAC. He seems to be more of a slot receiver and needs to be more focused and cut those drops down.

He may not be schemed open properly for the extra yards, QB hitting him in stride or we are seeing his max potential. I like him but thought he would be more dynamic than he is o_O
