I have really thought about this and he is in a different system,and has been a good reciever for us minus a few drops(most drops are uncatchable passes IMO).Therefore I am happier with him than Key but I really thought he was going to play like he did in Philly,just a gamebreaker,he hasn't.The thing is even if its age,etc... he is still a very good #1.I will say I hope he steps up to the ways we are familiar with before he came here and dominate a secondary.:rolleyes:

Yes, he's played to my expectations. He's brilliant one game, and absolutely stinks others. Dropped balls are uncatchable? Have you watched his alligator arms at times going over the middle? Or the WIDE OPEN, hits him in the hands/chest drops? Give me a break. There are no excuses for MOST of the ones he's dropped.

I have always supported him, but no, he hasn't lived up to them. I had more big plays in mind when we took him. And the dramatic, well that was to be expected, we knew that going in.

That doesn't mean I believe we should let him go next season, not by a longshot. He still has opened up our offense like no other player could on this roster. If anyone thinks we are better offensively (nothing to do with dramatics) without him, then they really need to think again.

But again, no--I expected more. But he has still done better than any WR we have had since Irvin in terms of being a legitimate threat.

I agree with everything u said.So,we agree he is the best since Irvin,could u imagine if he put 110% into it and played like he did before?Even not playing to the expectations is better than most in the league.He is up there with all the top nfc recievers with the drops,etc...

No. TO has been average most of the time with some killer drops. His bagage is not worth it right now.

I wasn't really sure what to expect from him. I knew he'd be a great decoy to free up our other weapons.

The thing of it is though is that Philly moved him all over the field to get him the ball anyway they could. They even lined him up at RB a few times. They knew the playmaker that he was and used him in so many more ways than we have. We just line him up at WR and let him run routes (and not even routes that play to his strengths in some games).

I think he's done a great job considering the way we have used him. I wish he had made certain pivotal catches (in the Commanders game being the major 1).

I expected more TDs after short passes. He has some pretty good YAC, but I thought he would take a few of those to the house even though this offense is structured differently. Overall, I say he is doing a good job. Remember, he wasn't supposed to catch 100 balls in this offense, yet he is on pace for around 90. On the field, I don't have too many complaints with him. The expectations of most are probably too high. If he wasn't suffering from the dropsies, they'd find something else to complain about.

Off the field, well, THE CIRCUS kinda cracks me up at times and gets tired at others.

So I guess the HURD/AUSTIN/CRAYTON trio is really making Deangelo Hall piss himself right now... Hes been above average for a WR but below expectations. Still productive and a top ten receiver. Although hes getting paid more than he is worth .. 10 Mill?? Id give him 5-7 based on average across the league ...

TO is the highest paid WR in the league this year I believe. My answer is NO. Next year I choose BP over TO if it comes down to it.

Yup. Hes on the decline which I figured. He is still stupid which I figured. He will be here one year, oh wait I figured less than a year.:D

Nope, I'm being sincere.

I expected very good but no game breaking "playmaker".

And I expected his stats would be quantity more than quality driven.

She just diddnt have that high of expectations.

For what he is getting paid, I think we all should expect more from him.

He hasn't lived up to my expectations.

With that said, he still helps this offense, and since he hasn't started any real controversy, I might just support him coming back again.

At the beginning of the season I had higher expectations but adjusted them when he had to have a plate inserted into a broken hand. So yes he has lived up to them.
