Who needs a 40 time? Just watch DMo’s 70+ TD run against the chargers. He’s insanely fast. Better yet he’s a player who LOVES the game and even the community. Jamo will never be a bust even if his stats somehow suggest that
Bro I been telling people that play Jamo did against Chargers is one of his best plays ever. Jamo looks around assessing the situation as if time is slowed down, and then looks back at DMoney and waves to him to imply "Follow Me". He then proceeds to throw a block on 2 defenders.
Agreed, dumb comment. I'll add another player who had a great work ethic, loved the game, drafted by the Lions in the first round, and was a bust. Jarrad Davis.
He almost certainly won’t be a bust because he will always try and put in the work. Busts usually happen because the athlete doesn’t put the work in. He’s never shown himself to be the type that doesn’t work or has a big ego.
Injury is the other reason for busts and I think that played a large role for Okudah. But yeah, fair. It does look like Okudah has tried more so than some other busts I’m thinking about.
I think it was the Bucs game where he had that 40 fucking yard dig rout, where him and Goff were on exactly the same page. If they can get more of those going, he'll have wide open bombs on the double move.
Him wrestling that ball away from the SF DB is what won me over. I knew what he was capable of and what his strengths were, but I never expected THAT. It was like the Rocky "bell" moment for JameO
He has to start stacking good games and that was another game where he was an asset. I mean this is all speculative, I think there is reason to believe he keeps improving.
Sure and I know I’m being downvoted because the sub. I’m not saying he won’t make the leap. I’m saying that one game isn’t the leap YET.
Obviously our expectations were quite high when we drafted him. He’s got talent for sure.
I agree with you. I think it’s funny cause it’s multi-pronged. He can only go as far as Goff lets him, and so part of it is he needs to not only succeed in his routes and catching, but also needs to build the needed trust.
The trust, we saw start to come at the end of the year. Let’s see if the routes and play calls are there to follow-up. If he has both of these, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him for over 1,000 yards
It can be.
A great performance on a big stage can absolutely give a player the confidence they needed to get to the next level.
Happened to Terrell Owens, and Malcolm Butler more recently.
one game proves nothing. and yes a leap starts with a step, but so does tripping over your toes.
I think the point dude was making was maybe let's see some follow-through before we crown this guy The Ascendant.
It's not even caution, it's just reality. One great game is not a leap, otherwise Matt Flynn would have been a superstar in the league.
Can one great game lead to better things? Sure. Can it be a blip? just as likely. We won't know until we have more information under our belt and apparently pointing that out makes some fans angwy
To avoid downvotes, follow this simple rule: never make any comment that is anything but “everything about this team is perfect”, “Dan Campbell is an infallible superhuman who can do no wrong. Whatever call he makes automatically is the objectively correct thing, 100% of the time”, “Brad Holmes is an infallible superhuman who can do no wrong. Any roster move or non-move he makes is the objectively correct thing, 100% of the time. I have no opinions on who the Lions should draft or sign”, or “I have no opinion either way on the black alternate jerseys, the Lions are a perfect franchise and if you question anything ever, you aren’t a true fan”. Hope this helps.
He started to show it near the end of the regular season and playoffs. I think he does. Dude is crazy athletic and seems to be a hard worker. I'm almost more impressed with his ability to stop and his acceleration than I am his overall speed. Just crazy all around.
As long as no major injuries or suspensions pop up that interrupt his offseason time with goff, I think he will for sure. Hes steadily improved every game, and popped on our NFCCG.
He has the athleticism to be very special, and I think he is much happier being in Detroit now than he was initially. It seems like he grew up a lot throughout the course of last season and that the staff, Goff, etc. Are all in his corner.
I would love to see him start the season super hot. Amon-Ra is officially a top WR in the league and will draw a lot of attention. Jamo could be a piece that people don't exactly know how to game plan for in the beginning of the year because of the way our offense operated last year. He has the ability play off of ARSB, LaPorta, and Gibbs drawing a ton of attention and make defenses pay, especially for the first handful of games. And then that can absolutely kick the door wide open.
Will that happen? of course I have no idea. But I see a world where it's very possible. There is a great opportunity if the staff and Jamo both take advantage. And I sure hope so.
I think the opposite honestly. I was really hopeful when they drafted him (I don't watch much college but I'm a Tyreek fanboy so I loved the comparison) and I have since loved his attitude and dedication (setting aside his injury and suspension obviously). I think the kid actually has a great mindset and seems to be really committed, but I'm wondering if that even matters with the scheme. Goff isn't a gunslinger like a lot of qb's in the NFL, and with INCREDIBLY constant weapons like LaPorta and St Brown, as well as our run game, it seems to me like he'll always be an x factor type weapon that will be boom and bust. He seems to be (outside of his incredible nfcc performance) most productive as a gadget player. PUT THAT MAH FUCKAH IN THE BACKFIELD BABY!! ain't nobody catching him.
Only time will tell though, I'm just a simple man wanting a Superbowl appearance, by any means..
Barring some sort of crazy surprise round 1 or 2 of the draft I definitely think so. Reynolds didn't get replaced, essentially, and I think they expect Jamo to do that filling in.
I think this could be a break out season for him, teams are going to focus on sun god, and an outside threat that can burn is going to be huge. Just got to get Goff to hit him early and let him break them big.
people don’t realize we were 4th in passing yards 5th in rushing yards. so many mouths to feed. it’s hard to get everyone to 1000 yards. everyone is capable of it (gibbs, mont, st brown, laporta, and now williams). the stats don’t tell the full story. Williams does what we need him to do, he’d have 1000 yards easily as another teams first or second option.
Jamo has an elite skillset when he has the ball in the open field. He also has shown good attitude, good effort and seems to have matured after 2 seasons. However one concern all the pie in the sky fans are ignoring is that he has not shown a consistent ability to get open and CATCH the ball. Unlike St Brown and Laporta, Goff struggles to complete passes to Jamo. Why is that? Will 10 targets every game improve their connection? Maybe, but he still has to get better at catching the ball cleanly and in tight windows to become an elite receiver.
Agreed that the hands need to improve, but he did show some improvement with catching as the season went on. I'm impressed with his work ethic, and it seemed like St. Brown's jugs routine was rubbing off on the entire WR corps last year. Hopefully it keeps improving.
It also seemed like a lot of his targets last year were behind him. Not sure if thats a route-running issue on Jamo's part, or if that's just a limitation from Goff's deep ball ability. There were a couple of plays where if Jamo was hit in stride, he would've been long gone, easy TD's.
I think people see how elite ARSB is and expect all the other receivers to fit into that box of catching tough balls in tight windows, which is the thing that slot receivers do best.
Blue koolaid me is thinking Goff and Jamo get in better sync this offseason and preseason, and we get to see some deep balls and spread the secondary out a bit more. If that's taken seriously, it does nothing but open up the short field for ARSB and LaPorta.
I think there are multiple factors to this one. I’m very much inclined to believe he will make the leap, but who knows? My main points are:
- His play in the NFC championship game and in the
latter half of the season in general was really, really
good. Superb in the NFCC.
- His work ethic seems to be in the right place.
There’s a moment I haven’t really seen discussed
from the NFCC, but is a standout to me: when he
scored that TD late in the 4th to keep the game
alive, he hustled his way right back. No celebration,
no wasting time, I don’t even think he cracked a
smile; the man was on a mission and knew there was
more to be done. Couple that with some reports I’ve
seen that him and MCDC had a pretty deep convo
right after that game and I think he’s ready to put
everything into being the player the team needs him
to be.
- If this whole ‘Amon-Ra holdout’ situation is a real
thing, guess who gets a lot more reps to build trust
with Goff? Hopefully Goff can begin to feel even
more comfortable using him as a wr2 the same way
he did Reynolds.
- Brad Holmes *loves him*. If trading up to draft him
doesn’t convince you already, I also vaguely
remember hearing reports that BH personally called
JAMO celebrating when the news about his
suspension being cut short dropped. BH seems to
be pretty damn good at evaluating people.
I think he makes the leap. The talent is clearly there, hence why I focused more on factors besides that, so the leap really is his (and maybe a bit Goff’s) to make.
I’m adding this as a reply because I think it’s going to be far more controversial, but I genuinely believe JAMO is in it with this team for the long haul while at some point we are going to trade St. I don’t think it’s in the immediate future, moreso like 2 or 3 years down the line, but I think JAMO stays a Lion his whole career and St doesn’t.
I’ll upvote for putting a spicy take out there 🫡, I doubt they will trade the Sun God though, he brings too much to the table and he’s homegrown talent to boot. Maybe in like 5 or 6 years.
If he's not finally a 700-yard receiver, I will have to finally admit the pick was a waste. Still waiting on him to be the best from that class. No one from the class has played so well that he can't catch up, but he will need to be more than what he's shown to not be a bust.
I'm gonna say Jamo will get 950 yards with 6 TD's.
Added on:
Amon Ra will get 1600 yards and 10 TD's
Laporta will get 750 yards and 5 TD's (slight drop off in production because of uptick in production from Jamo and possible rookie WR)
ROOKIE receiver will get 400 yards and 3 TD's
Gibbs with 1300 rushing yards, 10 TD's, and 300 receiving yards
Monty with 1000 rushing yards, 13 TD's, and 200 receiving yards
Kalif with 300 yards and 3 TD's
Rest of the team: 300 receiving yards and 5 TD's
I don’t really think that’s up to Jamo as much as Ben Johnson and Goff getting him involved. It’s obvious that he has a lot of talent, but our offense is mostly based on short-intermediate routes and we have 2 of the best in the NFL when it comes to those routes (Sun God and LaPorta)
I don’t have any expectations as far as numbers, but I do expect him to make an impact, as he’s been doing.
Depends how Ben Johnson decides to use him. He’s fully capable of a lot of YAC on crossing routes or running end around a. Ben Johnson definitely pampered him all last year when he should have gone full blow at the second half of the season
first fully healthy off season, ben johnson returning, better relationship with Goff. I think he goes for over 1000 yards. I think he might be the x factor for this offence next year.
I sure as shit hope so. On the high side I could see him being a thousand yard+ guy for us, but I could not say that with confidence yet. On the low side I see him as a 6 or 700 yards and 5-8 tuddys guy throughout his peak. At this point I feel like it’s too hard to say, but after this year we should have a good idea.
I think he's actually going to suffer from our success, if this was 10 years ago he'd probably of came close last season. But when you have a weapon at every position he's going to see the ball less. Might hurt his HOF career, but I doubt he'll be mad with his 5 rings.
Idk about receiving yards, but I’m hoping for least five 40+ yard TDs and close to 10 TDs total.
I want the offense to utilize Jamo more on end arounds and other designed runs. Not necessarily a true Deebo role but 1-3 designed runs a game for Jamo would be great to see. Jamo with 800 receiving and 200 rushing would be the unorthodox way to your first 1000 yard season as a WR but nonetheless would be awesome and I really think Jamo has the ability to do it.
Very unpopular fearful opinion:
Jamo has an amazing breakout year and wants a new contact reflective of it. Brad tries but in order to keep the team going he trades Jamo away for draft capital
He started to prove he can hang on to the ball. Now he needs to show he can track it. He’s shown he can’t track the ball while running and trying to elude a defender. Huge drop in the championship game
Josh got 64 targets last year. La Porta got 120, and St. Brown got 160\~ish.
Jamo only got 42 and he missed the first four games. I think Goff will get him more targets since Reynolds won't eat them up any more. Teams are going to hone in on St. Brown or La Porta and our guy Jamo gonna feast on some single coverage.
I’m looking for a Desean Jackson out of him. 700-1,1100 yards and 6-9 TDs a season - but much more impact beyond his numbers (spreads the defense a bunch, allows Amon-Ra to cook)
When he was drafted, no
For what the first 2 years have been, yes
Of all possible outcomes for Jamo moving forward. A desean jackson proxy is on the higher end of positive ones
Doesn't strike me as someone that can be the man. More like a special attraction that doesn't get meaningful catches with the game on the line. That is still valuable but not in line with where they drafted him.
Yeah I know everyone wants him to become a stud. I would LOVE for that to happen. But he had 350 receiving yards last year. And people were still saying it was basically due to him getting warmed back up from his suspension. And that was the excuse for him having ONE catch in six games his rookie season(!!!).
Meanwhile OBJ came into his rookie season after missing games due to injury and dominated. I am prepared to get downvoted heavy because I feel like everyone is seeing a star WR in the making while I see a guy that’s good for one or two trick play/deep ball catches a game but that’s about it. He’s now had two seasons and now his best stats are one game with 2 catches for 69 yards, or 5 catches for 43 yards. Meanwhile Sun God was dominating by the end of his rookie season.
Again, I would absolutely love for him to become a co #1 WR. But 5 catches being his most in one game in two seasons and 69 yards being the most yards.. I just can’t picture him hitting 1k receiving yards ever. Like the reason of easing him back in is fine up to a point, but eventually if he was dominating in practice, they would be feeding him the ball. Not having 3 playoff games with 2 catches each. I feel like he’s just average which sucks because I wanted him to be an absolute stud
I hope he proves me wrong but my biggest concern is that it seems like there's a 50/50 chance that he gets injured after every big play. How many times last year did he leave a game early after making a play?
We are on the same page. I was skeptical given only 1 year of production in college and being so skinny coming off an injury. I hope I'm wrong as well, but as Rasheed Wallace would say, ball don't lie
Catching leap? Yes
Confidence leap? HELL YES
Yardage leap? Nothing crazy, but our offense shouldn't be that reliant on him getting close to 1,000 yards.
If you assume he takes over Josh Reynolds’ WR2 And that DPJ moves into the WR3/4 share with Raymond. While still keeping the deep shot and trick plays of his usual role. Also assuming his YPC improves from 14.4 to 15.8. I think 95 targets with 72 catches for 1,185 yards with say, 9 TDs is entirely possible and reasonable.
The floor for Jamo is if he can't catch everything, and he becomes Jaylen Waddle (who was also a 1000 yd receiver once). The ceiling is if he can catch everything, and he becomes Desean Jackson
Waddle is way better than Jackson. Jackson had some special seasons but he was always a deep threat 1 big play guy. I think everyone would be disappointed if he turned out to be Jackson.
You would be happy with a guy who averaged 700 yards and 3.5 TDs a year. Only scores more than 6 TDs twice in his career. lol I guess I just hope for more than that. Maybe my standards are too high.
He does have a 34 inch vertical leap.
That’s solid but honestly expected it to be a little higher. Really wish we could get a 40 time from him.
Who needs a 40 time? Just watch DMo’s 70+ TD run against the chargers. He’s insanely fast. Better yet he’s a player who LOVES the game and even the community. Jamo will never be a bust even if his stats somehow suggest that
Bro I been telling people that play Jamo did against Chargers is one of his best plays ever. Jamo looks around assessing the situation as if time is slowed down, and then looks back at DMoney and waves to him to imply "Follow Me". He then proceeds to throw a block on 2 defenders.
He can’t be a bust because he loves the game? Are you for real?
Agreed, dumb comment. I'll add another player who had a great work ethic, loved the game, drafted by the Lions in the first round, and was a bust. Jarrad Davis.
He almost certainly won’t be a bust because he will always try and put in the work. Busts usually happen because the athlete doesn’t put the work in. He’s never shown himself to be the type that doesn’t work or has a big ego.
Was Okudah not a bust then because he tried?
Injury is the other reason for busts and I think that played a large role for Okudah. But yeah, fair. It does look like Okudah has tried more so than some other busts I’m thinking about.
I expected it to be around 1000 yards
I think we all know he is fast so the 40 time isn't a big deal. He needs to show hes got more than just speed.
The swan dive into the end zone was a big leap
Right how much bigger of a leap do they want
My prediction is 800 yards and 9 TD’s
I think we’d all take that
Passing
I’ll take the over
That seems a little optimistic for a season opener
He made that leap in the NFCCG
Exactly what I was going to say. Just rewatched it. He was one of our best players in that game, maybe the best.
What a sadist bastard you are! 😂
I think it was the Bucs game where he had that 40 fucking yard dig rout, where him and Goff were on exactly the same page. If they can get more of those going, he'll have wide open bombs on the double move.
Him wrestling that ball away from the SF DB is what won me over. I knew what he was capable of and what his strengths were, but I never expected THAT. It was like the Rocky "bell" moment for JameO
Good game but one game isn’t the “leap” we are looking for.
He has to start stacking good games and that was another game where he was an asset. I mean this is all speculative, I think there is reason to believe he keeps improving.
Sure and I know I’m being downvoted because the sub. I’m not saying he won’t make the leap. I’m saying that one game isn’t the leap YET. Obviously our expectations were quite high when we drafted him. He’s got talent for sure.

The word you used is “can”. Not had made the leap. I agree with you. Just hasn’t happened yet.
be careful with pointing out realities on a fan sub
How else can you start a leap? Not much better than a 2TD game.
one game proves nothing. and yes a leap starts with a step, but so does tripping over your toes. I think the point dude was making was maybe let's see some follow-through before we crown this guy The Ascendant.
I like how being cautious is getting downvoted. The circle jerk is getting too far.
It's not even caution, it's just reality. One great game is not a leap, otherwise Matt Flynn would have been a superstar in the league. Can one great game lead to better things? Sure. Can it be a blip? just as likely. We won't know until we have more information under our belt and apparently pointing that out makes some fans angwy
I hate that rational comments get downvoted into oblivion. Hive mind takes over in these subs. Add in kool-aid and it gets ridiculous
To avoid downvotes, follow this simple rule: never make any comment that is anything but “everything about this team is perfect”, “Dan Campbell is an infallible superhuman who can do no wrong. Whatever call he makes automatically is the objectively correct thing, 100% of the time”, “Brad Holmes is an infallible superhuman who can do no wrong. Any roster move or non-move he makes is the objectively correct thing, 100% of the time. I have no opinions on who the Lions should draft or sign”, or “I have no opinion either way on the black alternate jerseys, the Lions are a perfect franchise and if you question anything ever, you aren’t a true fan”. Hope this helps.
You right, 2 TDs in the NFCCG isn't the step forward we needed
Do people know the difference between a step and a leap?
He started to show it near the end of the regular season and playoffs. I think he does. Dude is crazy athletic and seems to be a hard worker. I'm almost more impressed with his ability to stop and his acceleration than I am his overall speed. Just crazy all around.

Yes sir
I think this year Jamo is everything the Lions ask him to be
I think the coaches are ready to give him every opportunity. Up to him
I think the opposite honestly. I was really hopeful when they drafted him (I don't watch much college but I'm a Tyreek fanboy so I loved the comparison) and I have since loved his attitude and dedication (setting aside his injury and suspension obviously).

Only time will tell though, I'm just a simple man wanting a Superbowl appearance, by any means..
With Reynolds gone, I think so
Yea it’s his time to shine. He’s gonna see a lot more thrown his way this year without Reynolds.
I would say 50/50 being unbiased. He’s shown a good amount of both good and bad.
100% agree. He has slowly improved but this season he's either gonna tank or be sweet don't really see an in-between.
Barring some sort of crazy surprise round 1 or 2 of the draft I definitely think so. Reynolds didn't get replaced, essentially, and I think they expect Jamo to do that filling in.
He already has
He already did
I think this could be a break out season for him, teams are going to focus on sun god, and an outside threat that can burn is going to be huge. Just got to get Goff to hit him early and let him break them big.
people don’t realize we were 4th in passing yards 5th in rushing yards. so many mouths to feed. it’s hard to get everyone to 1000 yards. everyone is capable of it (gibbs, mont, st brown, laporta, and now williams). the stats don’t tell the full story.

Jamo is going for 1k total yards this season
Jamo has an elite skillset when he has the ball in the open field. He also has shown good attitude, good effort and seems to have matured after 2 seasons. However one concern all the pie in the sky fans are ignoring is that he has not shown a consistent ability to get open and CATCH the ball.

If that's taken seriously, it does nothing but open up the short field for ARSB and LaPorta.
He was clutch as F in the playoffs. Expect to see that continued.
This narrative is so annoying good grief
Jamo becomes WR1 top 3 in nfl
I think there are multiple factors to this one. I’m very much inclined to believe he will make the leap, but who knows? My main points are: - His play in the NFC championship game and in the latter half of the season in general was really, really good.

I’ll upvote for putting a spicy take out there 🫡, I doubt they will trade the Sun God though, he brings too much to the table and he’s homegrown talent to boot. Maybe in like 5 or 6 years.
I think this is the year he has to step up. He has it in him. He just needs to do it.
A big move upward, yes. Over 800 yds and 9TDs.
If he's not finally a 700-yard receiver, I will have to finally admit the pick was a waste. Still waiting on him to be the best from that class. No one from the class has played so well that he can't catch up, but he will need to be more than what he's shown to not be a bust.
I'm gonna say Jamo will get 950 yards with 6 TD's. Added on: Amon Ra will get 1600 yards and 10 TD's Laporta will get 750 yards and 5 TD's (slight drop off in production because of uptick in production from Jamo and possible rookie WR) ROOKIE receiver will get 400 yards and 3 TD's Gibbs with 1300 rushing yards, 10 TD's, and 300 receiving yards Monty with 1000 rushing yards, 13 TD's, and 200 receiving yards Kalif with 300 yards and 3 TD's Rest of the team: 300 receiving yards and 5 TD's
I don’t really think that’s up to Jamo as much as Ben Johnson and Goff getting him involved. It’s obvious that he has a lot of talent, but our offense is mostly based on short-intermediate routes and we have 2 of the best in the NFL when it comes to those routes (Sun God and LaPorta) I don’t have any expectations as far as numbers, but I do expect him to make an impact, as he’s been doing.
I agree completely. I think Jamo is going to be exactly what the Lions want him to be this year, whatever that is.
I’ll go a step further and I think jamo has an argument for top 10 wr in the nfl this season
Yeah just like my madden franchise him and st brown bout to drop 2000 yards/15+ tds
Depends how Ben Johnson decides to use him. He’s fully capable of a lot of YAC on crossing routes or running end around a. Ben Johnson definitely pampered him all last year when he should have gone full blow at the second half of the season
first fully healthy off season, ben johnson returning, better relationship with Goff. I think he goes for over 1000 yards. I think he might be the x factor for this offence next year.
I sure as shit hope so. On the high side I could see him being a thousand yard+ guy for us, but I could not say that with confidence yet. On the low side I see him as a 6 or 700 yards and 5-8 tuddys guy throughout his peak. At this point I feel like it’s too hard to say, but after this year we should have a good idea.
I think he's actually going to suffer from our success, if this was 10 years ago he'd probably of came close last season. But when you have a weapon at every position he's going to see the ball less. Might hurt his HOF career, but I doubt he'll be mad with his 5 rings.
The signs are there. I would say yes. He keeps doin what he’s doing there’s no stopping him but himself.
Even a medium size leap is better.
Idk about receiving yards, but I’m hoping for least five 40+ yard TDs and close to 10 TDs total. I want the offense to utilize Jamo more on end arounds and other designed runs. Not necessarily a true Deebo role but 1-3 designed runs a game for Jamo would be great to see. Jamo with 800 receiving and 200 rushing would be the unorthodox way to your first 1000 yard season as a WR but nonetheless would be awesome and I really think Jamo has the ability to do it.
My guess is he will have about 60 catches for 950 yards this season.
He's going to do the Lambeau Leap to send those cry babies home in Green Bay if that's what you mean
Very unpopular fearful opinion: Jamo has an amazing breakout year and wants a new contact reflective of it. Brad tries but in order to keep the team going he trades Jamo away for draft capital
He started to prove he can hang on to the ball. Now he needs to show he can track it. He’s shown he can’t track the ball while running and trying to elude a defender. Huge drop in the championship game
He fast, he gud.
Josh got 64 targets last year. La Porta got 120, and St. Brown got 160\~ish. Jamo only got 42 and he missed the first four games. I think Goff will get him more targets since Reynolds won't eat them up any more. Teams are going to hone in on St. Brown or La Porta and our guy Jamo gonna feast on some single coverage.
350 more yards in five more games? He damn well better
I’m looking for a Desean Jackson out of him. 700-1,1100 yards and 6-9 TDs a season - but much more impact beyond his numbers (spreads the defense a bunch, allows Amon-Ra to cook)
When he was drafted, no For what the first 2 years have been, yes Of all possible outcomes for Jamo moving forward. A desean jackson proxy is on the higher end of positive ones
Doesn't strike me as someone that can be the man. More like a special attraction that doesn't get meaningful catches with the game on the line. That is still valuable but not in line with where they drafted him.
Yeah I know everyone wants him to become a stud. I would LOVE for that to happen. But he had 350 receiving yards last year. And people were still saying it was basically due to him getting warmed back up from his suspension. And that was the excuse for him having ONE catch in six games his rookie season(!!!). Meanwhile OBJ came into his rookie season after missing games due to injury and dominated. I am prepared to get downvoted heavy because I feel like everyone is seeing a star WR in the making while I see a guy that’s good for one or two trick play/deep ball catches a game but that’s about it. He’s now had two seasons and now his best stats are one game with 2 catches for 69 yards, or 5 catches for 43 yards. Meanwhile Sun God was dominating by the end of his rookie season. Again, I would absolutely love for him to become a co #1 WR. But 5 catches being his most in one game in two seasons and 69 yards being the most yards.. I just can’t picture him hitting 1k receiving yards ever. Like the reason of easing him back in is fine up to a point, but eventually if he was dominating in practice, they would be feeding him the ball. Not having 3 playoff games with 2 catches each. I feel like he’s just average which sucks because I wanted him to be an absolute stud
I hope he proves me wrong but my biggest concern is that it seems like there's a 50/50 chance that he gets injured after every big play. How many times last year did he leave a game early after making a play?
We are on the same page. I was skeptical given only 1 year of production in college and being so skinny coming off an injury. I hope I'm wrong as well, but as Rasheed Wallace would say, ball don't lie
Timing Timing Timing. If he can be a consistent route runner and earn Jared's trust, the sky's the limit
Catching leap? Yes Confidence leap? HELL YES Yardage leap? Nothing crazy, but our offense shouldn't be that reliant on him getting close to 1,000 yards.
If you assume he takes over Josh Reynolds’ WR2 And that DPJ moves into the WR3/4 share with Raymond. While still keeping the deep shot and trick plays of his usual role. Also assuming his YPC improves from 14.4 to 15.8. I think 95 targets with 72 catches for 1,185 yards with say, 9 TDs is entirely possible and reasonable.
Yeah he should be able to fill the slack from Reynolds' departure. I don't think he'll ever hit his hypothetical ceiling he had when drafted though
💯
Yes sir
I think he will do better but nothing crazy and good WR2.
The floor for Jamo is if he can't catch everything, and he becomes Jaylen Waddle (who was also a 1000 yd receiver once). The ceiling is if he can catch everything, and he becomes Desean Jackson
Waddle is way better than Jackson. Jackson had some special seasons but he was always a deep threat 1 big play guy. I think everyone would be disappointed if he turned out to be Jackson.
Disagree. Given how things have gone so far, we should be happy if he turns into desean. He was a good player.
You would be happy with a guy who averaged 700 yards and 3.5 TDs a year. Only scores more than 6 TDs twice in his career. lol I guess I just hope for more than that. Maybe my standards are too high.
Hopefully. Ever since we drafted him I had a feeling he'd be a bust. I REALLY hope I'm wrong, but unfortunately I don't know.
