I told DJLN that I was prepared to be disappointed when he makes the roster.
It’s a good thing I prepared because I’m disappointed. |

He's probably our cringiest player, man. I said it when he was coming out of the draft. He screamed "Patriot way douche." His origin story as a try hard without much talent getting overdrafted and turning into a try hard without much talent in the pros is quite fitting. I was one of his fans when we drafted him, too, because I placed a ton of trust in Veach and Reid. I listened to the people who talked about his ability to get open in college and his short area quickness and I said, "Neat. We could use a consistent player like him. He'll be a chain mover for sure. I like it." But at this point? Man, even his special teams play is unremarkable, and I can't necessarily say he'd clearly be better on teams than Remigio, Ross, or Washington. They all do the exact same thing, except Remigio has a more charming backstory, Ross actually does impressive physical things from time to time, and Washington has speed. Oh well. Maybe Andy can craft together dozens of different Corndog-type plays where Skyy is wide the **** open and it's a simple light toss from Mahomes. He can do that just fine, at least. Who knows... you get enough of those, and the guy might have 1000 yards! |

Devils advocate hype train:
He was only a WR for 2 years of his life before getting drafted. Those 2 years were for a small school with small coaching. He went into one of the toughest systems for WRs to pick up at the NFL level. Couple that with his only 2 years in a small school and it’s probably reasonable to expect him to be a little behind in development. This shows in his overall field awareness and the amount of time he doesn’t “play fast”. If they can get him to a point he’s not thinking so much (and after the fumbles, probably overthinking everything) maybe we see the kid develop into the player some of us thought he could be coming out (Welker and Edelman). To the credit of those initial comparisons of “upside” to those 2 greats, here are those 2s stats and Moores over their first 2 seasons in the nfl: Welker 29 catches, 434 yards. 0 touchdowns Edelman 44 catches, 444 yards, 1 touchdown. Skyy Moore 43 catches, 494 yards, 1 touchdown (not counting playoffs.) If these coaches can turn Skyy into a player that allows us to let Hollywood walk after this season and would allow us to use draft resources at other need positions to further bolster the roster…that would be huge. It would give Veach flexibility to make a big move now or during next years draft when we have the extra pick for Sneed. Of, as Veach says, take a BIG swing. |

Welker was a really good route runner and Edelman had the fast as **** feetwork.
Skyy doesn't have anything. But I don't think it's a big deal, if they don't want to give up on their 2nd round pick yet then okay. Maybe there's a tiny chance he could improve and give us a 500 yard season in his 4th year or something like that. The rest of the receiver room looks stacked and it should be way better than last year. Worthy and Rice are going to explode! Then you have some veterans that will be making some plays. This offense is going to look a lot better. |

Devils advocate, continued…
In his third season, Wes had 687 yards on 67 catches and 1 tuddy. In years 4-5, he caught a combined for 223 catches for 2341 yards and 11 tuddies. 5 consecutive pro bowls and 2 all pro teams. *** Edelman didn’t start to show promise till his 5th year. In his 5th and 6th years combined, he had 2028 yards snd 10tds. The best coaches in the league must see something in him to keep him around and im hoping they’re right! *** devils advocate over I don’t see what these coaches are with Skyy and I was a fan of the pick. I think he should be cut, along with the rest of the bums. |
