Ferguson has been very good, but Schoonmaker has more upside

[3rdEyewarrior]

Ferguson has been a top 5 t e this year. schoonmaker is bigger , faster 4.63 speed and and more explosive. we can have two elite tight ends next to lamb.

We'll talk about upside next season. #Gus87 is a Dawg!

Your not looking for many friends eh?

 

[KJJ]

I remember how many said Martellus Bennett had more upside than Jason Witten. lol He was much more athletic and faster than Witten. They were the same height, but Bennett was close to 275 pounds. We all saw how that turned out. Ferguson looked good as a rookie and continues to get better. Schoonmaker hasn’t shown very good hands and has been a disappointment so far. I don’t see him becoming an elite TE.

 

[Iago33]

I hope he develops, but I’m not sure about upside. Schoon is a year older than Ferguson.

 

[Cowboyny]

Teams love to play 12 personnel, you need two quality te’s to do it effectively

 

[ConstantReboot]

Nah Spoonmaker is a wasted pick. Should have gone oline or linebacker.

 

[Pass2Run]

I hope he develops, but I’m not sure about upside. Schoon is a year older than Ferguson.

It's more about the experience within the league and being healthy though. Big jump. So, knowing what it's like and having been through it gives you an edge because of the whole assumed knowledge vs. true knowledge.

we can use both players.

That doesn't mean he has more upside

 

[Garbagetime]

I'm actually pretty pleased with Schoonmaker so far. I never envisioned him being a top blocking tight end year one and he is already that. After he missed the whole training camp with that foot injury anyone that knows anything knew his targets would be limited.

Can't forecast injuries so not going to hold that against him but looks good to me

 

[Stak78]

Schoon’s hands have been suspect up to this point. His blocking has been great. It’s hard to believe he’s faster that Ferg. I don’t care what a 40 time says. Ferg plays faster and is very quick in the open field. I would feel much better about Schoonmaker’s “upside” if he wasn’t a 25 year old rookie.

 

[MonsterD]

Uhhh no he doesn't have this mystical "upside". Always will be a blocking TE that is not anything like an athletic pass catcher.

 

[Coogiguy03]

He doesn't have the DOG Mentality that Ferguson has, that's all that matters!!!! Or TBD

 

[Tangle_Foot]

If we're talking upside, Ferguson hasn't reached his ceiling yet. I think he has pro bowl talent and he's tough as nails. Let's talk about his upside.

 

[viman96]

Schoonmaker has not shown he has more upside. Ferguson is balling though and IMO will be TE1 for a long time. Schoonmaker has time to develop and prove himself.

They are basically the same size. Ferguson is younger. So we can talk about Schoonmaker developing, but his older than Ferguson.

 

[CATCH17]

Schoonmaker is a stiff looking athlete, has poor balance, and almost 0 RAC ability.

He looks like a solid TE that you can find anywhere.

 

[TRUTH87]

I prefer Ferguson.

Bennett was a headcase and that's why he flamed out in Dallas. I trust that the coaching staff can figure out how to properly utilize both guys. Schoon has some nice catches, but some bad drops. He's a helluva player in the run game. I think he would look better with more targets, but Jake is playing out of his mind and there's no reason to lighten his load. Great problem to have.
