AD can catch the ball just fine. Anyone who looks at those throws and come away thinking it’s the receiver’s fault, in his first game with said shitty QB that he has no chemistry with, needs to re-evaluate their player evaluation skills.
He’s absolutely spooked based off of everything that’s happened to him this season, albeit some of it self inflicted. The fact that he’s never had these issues leads me to believe it’ll course correct over time. Reminder this was also the first significant playing time he’s seen in over a month.
I am intrigued by his potential, and yes the throws were not great, but he needs to catch these going forward at much higher rate going forward. Can we agree a guy like Chad OchoCinco knows what's a drop and what isn't? https://x.com/ochocinco/status/1989481264886243746
A couple should have been caught but as others have mentioned new scheme, prime time, new team, new QB and hasn't played in a while. I get it, I think he will improve.
Not really. That’s not a drop. At the very most it’s equal blame but that’s a terribly thrown ball where a guy who is running full speed upfield has to stop, dive backwards and make the catch falling to the ground. Reminder that Ocho Cinco has said some insanely dumb shit in his life such as “Zach Wilson is great”
I also expect him to improve, just want to stick to he facts as far as his performance on Thursday. I am intrigued and want to see more, there was some high end stuff there, but gotta catch the ball at a better rate, which I think he will. I think shared blame is fair. The pass was atrocious, if the ball is ahead of him, it is easier catch and could be TD. I have no issues if this is counted as a drop though. I think he can and will do better going forward.
