He’s really stepped up this year and developed into a true #1 WR. He’s 9th in catch’s and 11th in receiving yards. He’s not dropping the ball like he was early in his career and early this year. He’s making big time catches in big time moments. Pair him with OBJ, and the sky’s the limit with this offense. And with this defense, which has finally focused on stopping the run first, the rest of the league should be very scared.

Has improved as the season has progressed.
Getting Gallup back has taken some of the attention of the defenses off of him, which is a good thing.
Hope he continues to develope.
That sideline pass yesterday was a thing of beauty.

I know the sideline catch was ruled a catch but was it a catch?

all the vids I found cut the play short...

Was ruled a catch on the field and ruled a catch after booth review. I think that is 100% a catch.

The reason for asking is I watch on the radio and a guy I trust says Lamb lost control of the ball when he hit the ground.

All the vids I've found cut the play short.

Yeah his 5 catches for 45 yards is just the next natural step in his progression.
Can’t have it both ways. Either we throw 40 plus passes and Ceedee gets his stats or we run 40 times and Ceedee makes plays when needed.

Going by your feelings about Dak, I assume you’d like the run 40 times method. In that case, doesn’t using the 4 for 45 stat line seem disingenuous? Does playing on a run first offense disqualify a guy from being a 1? Not elite, but a 1.

I’m thinking Gallup may actually be our best receiver. He has more consistent hands and appears to run better routes.

Lamb has big play potential with yards after the catch. He seems better suited in slot position.

Thing with CD is he can make hard catches look easy and easy catches look hard. That tells me he has focus issues and he needs to work on that aspect of his game. He can't go into auto pilot mode when the ball lands on his hands, and no one is around.

He is a fine #1 considering what we should be doing strategy wise….running the ball, using four TE…

100%. It shouldn’t be overly surprising, dude has been a playmaker since he entered the league.

Excited to watch him to continue to grow.

I'd be happy if he just runs the right routes.
