Was Demarcus Robinson better than I remember? Or was it all PM?

[smithandrew051]

I thought he was about to take a massive step towards becoming a legit Number 2 receiver after the 28 point 2nd quarter and that game against the Ravens the next week in 2019.

He was great in those two games.

His game against the Raiders was the most memorable for me.

Can't think of much else he did when he wasn't running backwards after catch.

I think he was Justin Watson ish?

Better than Skyy right now, but he had zero touches his first year in the league, just played special teams.. so Skyy could still become him?

DRob was better than JWat. And it's not that close. Catch%, Success%, YAC/R, TDs per season, just for starters.

JWat

And then DRob's ability to consistently find a soft spot during a scramble drill, especially in the EZ.

Mostly though it's just that DRob was always a better WR than JWat, a ST player Andy converted into a WR. DRob had great twitch and athleticism, while JWat is just average in those departments.

The diva metric is going to have to join WR stats. Somehow being a diva is like big tits to NFL fans. DR seemed grounded

[Hoover]

All this does is get me more excited for Worthy

[Wisconsin_Chief]

He was never as bad as people said, which last year proved. Hell, I would have killed to have any version of him last season. He showed he could play with the Rams as well. He’s a very solid player and always has been. He was never going to be more than a 4th option at best, but last I checked you need those guys in this league, too.

[Straight, No Chaser]

It was maddening watch him make a catch and then run BACKWARDS. Wouldn’t be surprised if his YAC was a negative number.

[notorious]

First start to his career, and it iced the game against a team we despise.

[Dunerdr]

The problem with drob was he just didn’t grow much as a player. He made the same dumbass mistakes day 1 as his last game with us. He was great on broken plays when Tyreek and Kelce carried the best part of the defense with them.

D-Rob was better than a number of guys we've been watching the last couple years. If nothing else, he had very good chemistry with Mahomes. We know that's not the case at all for some of the other KC receivers lately.

[Rain Man]

Another thing that occurs to me is that Mahomes' great plays probably occur disproportionately on third downs. That's when Robinson would get a disproportionate number of snaps, so he's probably overrepresented in the highlights beyond his actual playing time.

He also only started in 51 of his 130 total games. Basically three seasons.

Robinson was 14th WR drafted in 2016 and has outperformed everyone else except for Tyreek Hill, Tyler Boyd, Sterling Shepherd and Michael Thomas.

Has played in postseason 8 straight years and Rams gave him a raise from $1.2 million last year to $4 million this year if he is on roster all year.

Robinson is one of those players that helps one identify the fans who do not know shit about tackle football as it is played in the National Football League from the ones who do.

Robinson is a football player who was a gunner on punts and a gunner blocker on punt returns when Tyreek Hill was returning them for TDs.

Eight years in league and earned a decent raise from same team for his ninth season.

He had one disaster punt return at Saints and a couple negative YAC receptions, but he also had a couple unbelievable YAC plays in 2-minute drill where he made it to sidelines to stop clock and save a timeout. Fans that like watching football but do not know shit about it tend to remember the bad plays and never notice the contributions the player makes.
