Nah..

They drafted CeeDee to replace Gallop at some point.

If that wasn't in the teams head before the draft..it occurred to them when he was drafted.

Amari is #1 and deserves that.

He has the credentials and the experience.

Yes Gallop has benefited but no way is Pollard better than Gallop.

Different position and skill sets.

I like Pollard but if he keeps up his play, he will be leaving in 2 years as we will never afford to keep him.

Much like we are losing Gallop after next season.
I disagree. Sure they can see Gallup might need to be replaced at some point, but that also applies to Cooper. Cee Dee is protection against the departure of either, not just one. But even so, either of them leaving isn't an immediate concern, and they could have waited to worry about replacing another receiver, so the draft pick was really about what Cee Dee can bring to the table now, and the future benefit of hopefully being able to step into a larger role is icing on the cake.

You proved you actually know little about football and made at least 1 incorrect statement. The incorrect statement is that Pollard has better speed. Pollard did a 4.51 40 yard dash and Gallup had done a 4.45 40 yard dash. Now to prove how little you know about football. A back coming out of the backfield automatically has more distance between them and whoever is covering him than what receivers get. Second, the overwhelming majority of times a back is covered by a LB who is slower than DB's which makes it easier to be open and pick up yards after catch. Lastly the majority of times a back catches the ball behind or at the line of scrimmage or at most 3-7 yards down field. Yes occasionally a back as a safety blanket gets a ball 9-10 yards downfield when defenses are in a zone defense and makes a big gain, but that's not the norm. Anyone that tries to compare a backup RB to a starting WR proves how little they know about the sport.
.

Pollard ran a 4.38 at his Pro Day.

Pollard had food poisoning at the combine and was immediately throwing up after his forty. It's well documented.

Agreed. At some point someone is gonna go. It depends on all 3 and who improved.

Will Gallup continue to improve.

Will Lamb translate and become better than Gallup and or Cooper.

Will Cooper continue to be awesome and produce at a high level.

First thing is Lamb must show out in the NFL. Not a lot of WR come out of college and go to the NFL and be able to produce at a super high level. He has 2 years I think before Gallup’s rookie deal is up and a decision must be made.

This overhyping of Gallup is getting too much especially when his contract is about to come up. It’s also really disrespectful when fans said he could be #1 or is a #1b. Dude benefits from Amari and Zeke and will get exposed like Juju if he has to step up.


This offense should give more opportunity to Pollard who is already a better route runner, better hands, and speed to attack defenses in multiple ways.





One thing is for sure is that he is better than that body catcher we had here for 5 years.

Pollard is a better receiver? Not from where I am standing.

Oh my..

Mob justice.

Stop it boys.

Last time I looked we were the land of the free and the brave.

You guys voting a change?

Relax.

If you want a website full of just your opinions..

go start it.

Nothing personal here, but just take the foot off the accelerator.

There is more than enough complaining in the World right now.

Pandemic, no sports, no jobs.

Yikes

This is a good follow up post because I didn't mention in mine that it's possible Lamb might not be the one that survives out of the 3. Lamb still has to prove himself.
