Fanbase owes Lamb a apology

[TheMarathonContinues]

We lost. He got concussed. And I love Pickens but this team because of two games of drops threw Lamb to the gutter. Said Pickens made him expendable.

He’s still our best receiver bad body language and all. And he didn’t use being double covered as an excuse either. He’s still our guy.

Nah, he represents what this team is. So good at times but then others...yuck.

 

[Coogiguy03]

No thanks!!! Lamb has had some up and down moments this season, not saying he's bad or anything like that but a better WR was here this season, he STILL has his spot on this offense!

[infamousstyles]

There is defintely a reason why we need both. They clearly feed off each other.

He stepped up when it mattered the most, that means something on this team

 

[The Natural]

He did lose us the Philly game. Pickens stunk last night but I wouldnt say he lost us the game.

He did lose us the Philly game.

He did not singlehandedly lose the Philly game. Big contributor? Yes.

Pickens didn’t lose us the game but he certainly went ghost. His route running was lazy and embarrassing l.

I don’t know that first game Lamb was kind of the only one who played under their potential.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He’s good 95 percent of the time and rarely lets us down.

If you haven't noticed, this message board is a What have you done for me lately message board. The same crowd who wanted Lamb moved now think Pickens is a headcase, and wouldn't want him back. The same message board with thought Dak was an MVP now doesn't even bring it up. The same message board that thought we were SB-bound now see no future; it was all about this year

The level-headed actual fans of the TEAM loved to see the progress....loved 2 WR 1's....loved what we saw from the D.....were more encouraged to see '26 and beyond as we weren't even at the level to compete in '25.

Again, what have you done for me lately, not big picture fans dominate this message board

Ok....Cee Dee has a fan club. Picken's transgressions or concerns don't justify Cee Dee's or vice versa and Cee Dee with a "C" on his jersey. I'm confused.

Lamb was criticized for dropping passes and that is perfectly legitimate. I think the "trade Lamb" talk was dumb but I don't think it was a majority of fans either.

I don't know what the deal was with Pickens last night. He did not look as engaged as he has in the past. Maybe he is one of those receivers that needs to get the ball early to get him involved.

I would keep Lamb for sure, and not just because his contract make it impossible to trade him or cut him.

I wonder if the problem will be getting both receivers involved enough in the game though.

I think Schotty needs to decide if he wants to lean on his best offensive attributes or balancing the offense by running a lot too. If he has mismatches with CeeDee and Pickens, I think he should use that and mix in the run. But, first they need to shore up the pass protection. They were swamped last night.

I wasn't one to crap all over him. Heat of the moment I cursed him plenty, but never failed to acknowledge how impactful he is overall. I dont believe he will ever cure those occasional runs of drops, but his overall production is a massive net positive.

That said I think GP is likely the same. He will have those occasional games where he doesn't put it together at his normal baseline but his overall impact is still massive.

I really think the two are interchangeable. Thats no disrespect to CD, its just Pickens is that good.

Sometimes great players dont have great games. It is what it is.

Apologize to both and let's move on.

Give me the WR that has concentration drops over the WR that is half-assing routes out there and “gives up” because hes being doubled

In a day and age where qbs are throwing for 4-5k regularly I dont think we cant keep a tough run game and have a couple 1200 yard + receivers.
