That can't be! A TPB member swore that Greg Roman was going to use Max Duggan the way the Saints use Taysom Hill!

When Stick was drafted some suggested he was going to be a Taysom Hill type player
Granted Coach Lynn said "he isn't 6'3 240 and can't run a 4.5 40 so those comps are wrong"

Duggan wasn't a good pick
Stick - time to move on

Who is Keenan Allen?

Ironic, because Keenan made so many unthinkable, absurd catches.

He and DeAndre Hopkins-- who was taken in the same draft class, btw-- both believe that if they can TOUCH the ball, there's no reason for not catching it. And they play like that.

Fans expect the same.

Fans expect the same.

I don't. Different players, different offense. I'll enjoy the W's anyway.

If a WR makes it to the incredibly rarefied air of the NFL, trust me, 99% of fans expect them to make every catch their fingers touch.

I’m not talking about the tipped pass that nearly put Hurst on the disabled list for the season, but all the other balls that appear to be catchable.

You know…like the balls Johnston routinely drops in key situations.

There are some that have that mindset. Others who shoot themselves in the foot and their teammates with that mindset.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll enjoy the catches the starting offense makes, regardless of the names. Herbert has done well in the past with others.

makes sense.... maybe they will be adding a vet who can at leaser manage a game, so that Perez can be the 3rd QB?

I am not sure why people keep posting about Stick on this play, there were several aspects to this play. Everyone here agrees Stick made a terrible pass, not up for debate and no one is debating it.

The interesting issue is Fehoko also made a bad play here. Turning a bad pass into an interception on a ball that he had 0% chance of catching. Yet many here are saying good job on that bad play. My point is one bad play does not excuse another bad play. In the individual rooms with the coaches going over film the here are no coaches complimenting players there. The QB coach is going over every failure point for Stick on the play. The O line coach is going over every failure point for the O line, telling them if you gave an extra second of protection then the pass is good. The WR coach is telling Fehoko WTF are you doing pouring gas on the fire of a bad play? And discussing what NOT to do in a situation like that, the WR coach is not telling him, “it’s ok at least you tried, here is your participation trophy, balls have been tipped before so it’s OK to keep doing it”

I just don’t get people falling all over themselves to dump on Stick (who absolutely deserves it and probably is not long for the team) yet fall all over themselves to defend and make excuses for the WR who made a bad play and also is not long for the team, especially playing like that.

There isn't a receiver in the NFL who would just let the pass sail by if they could get a hand on it.
Those also can be very easily intercepted and the coaching staff would get on them for it.

lol I tried to explain to our beloved forum that we cannot have an RPO QB that has no P

[Boltjolt]

If Fehoko hadn’t touched that ball and it went straight to a db, people would be bitching that he didn’t try to knock it down.

He has to make a superior effort to catch every ball that comes his way. Making those catches is what makes you a great WR.

Agree, it was bad throw period. The WR should only try to knock a pass down when they know its underthrown and they cant catch it or a bad pass that the defender clearly has a path to for an INT. Fehoko had nobody around him. Wide open, Schtick , ...bad pass.
