Same. And Young is underperforming my expectations, even though I didn't have very high expectations. With Richardson I expected a lot of growing pains and some of that is happening. I expected the flashes of brilliance too. What has surprised me is that those flashes are now becoming not just flashes but waves of brilliance. He's not having just the ocassional "wow" throw. He's having drives, quarters... hell even halves of high level of play. And he's also still throwing everything 100 miles/h and he's sometimes late with some of his throws... and he sails some throws over receivers heads. A lot of this was expected and I feel like to some degree it has been moderated by this coaching staff compared to what he was doing last year. In other words - both the positives and the negatives we saw from last year are still there... but it feels like the positives are more frequent and the negatives are muted a bit. Overall I feel good about where he is... but he still has a long way to go. If this is the final product, it's not good enough in the long run. But when looking at the progress he's making, how unphases he is with the moment and responsibility, I see no reason to doubt he will continue improving over the next few years. At this point it's up to him, the coaching staff and Ballard(to give him more/better weapons) about where he ends up...(and of course - luck injury-wise). -

we’re not going to pick high enough to grab a WR1. If we could then I agree, but the WR group we have right now is not good. Maybe it will get better, but right now it’s not good. We have to stop being homers. -

I’ve said it and I’ll keep saying it. These receivers are FAILING AR. We don’t have a receiver out there that can go and get it. We don’t have a WR1 talent. Love Pittman, but if it isn’t under 9 yards he’s a ghost. He should’ve had that long TD if the face mask didn’t happen, but through 4 games I’m not impressed. Some of y’all are, but I’m not. Pierce, I thought this dude was going to be catching bombs every game. But so far he’s caught just ONE. What a disappointment. Downs, he’s been solid but not impactful. He flashes and then defenses double him and that’s that. But he’s a rookie so he’ll learn to find the open space. I’m fine with Downs. Anyone else is not worth mentioning. The tight end has been surprisingly solid and as discussed in another thread doing better than the receivers. -

In the rams game alone I counted 6 drops. I’m pretty there were more. 17/24 sounds A LOT better than 11/24. And we still lost in OT. ARs stats doesn’t show his greatness on the field. -
