Quote:I wish blackmon was here to but i think a rob is better

lol I'm excited about Robinson too, but Blackmon was monsterous at times. He was the better player. Hey, I hope you're right though.

Quote:Better? No.

you remember him to be better than he was. He was good dont get me wrong, but not elite yet like you seem to think

Blackmon had 4 or 5 games with less than 10 yards, and a game with no rec.he had 3 games over 159 yds the rest of his games were average at best, a lot of 3 rec 24 yd type games.

To be fair look at the bum qb's he had to play with in gabbert and henne so no wonder he chose to get high than to play football  because his inconsistent numbers had something to do with them as players. If he was playing with bortles right now who is a true playmaker especially outside of the pocket blackmon would be talked about like one of the best receivers in football.

you say that but cecil shorts looked like an all pro with gabbert and now hes been invisible lol

Quote:Better? No.

I think both would benefit from the presence of the other. Their natural skills would tend to complement one another. We could have had a new era's version of Thunder & Lightning. If only it had been in the cards...

He looked like that at first because no one game planned for him like they did for blackmon but once that starting to be the case he's expose for what he is as a player which is a #2 receiver. In addition, he has been hurt all year so bortles didn't have a chance to develop a chemistry with him but robinson who has been healthy all season is now bortles go to guy so it's too late for cecil shorts.

Yea because Gabbert locked in on one guy.

Your funny ...ha!

Quote:That catch and yac was a thing of beauty. And Bortles threw a laser. Best play of the year so far.

I agree Allen Robinson has proven to be a great pickup, but I was expecting a bit more from Marquise Lee at this point... its still early they are rookies.

But he wears #15. We should trade him while he has value.

At no point in shorts career has he looked like an All Pro receiver. In fact id say he has been a major problem despite some of the numbers he has put up. Lazy route running, bad drops that have went off his chest/hands for ints, injury prone, giving up mid play causing an int and this has been the last 2 seasons as a whole.


Robinson is way better then Shorts but Blackmon is better then Robinson. Give Blackmon Bortles and some of the tight throws where both Hurns and Robinson have been outmuscled/beaten to the ball and he dominates those same DBs.

Great hands, but more impressed with the YAC.. 

Lee is a bust in my opinion. Robinson is more explosive.

A bust after only playing in 4 games?

Yeah, that's a reach no matter how you look at it.

Lee just had that nice sideline reception and made another contested catch. He looked good at times in other games too he is at least competitive with some attitude.


At this point i dont see the point of having Shorts even out there. He probably wont resign and appears to have mailed it in outside of the occasional halfhearted slant. I record the games and then focus on it player by player Shorts is seriously not trying out there and its hurting Blake and the offense.

Quote:Yes, he reminds me of a lot of elite NFL receivers. Big, athletic, good hands.

All he lacks is stretch the field speed

If im the corner im biting hard on any cut he makes because I don't fear him down the field


Does make me wonder why we keep targeting him on go routes though

Shorts benefited from a lot of garbage time yards.

Too early for that. He has the talent. You need a couple of years in most cases to really know what you have with WRs.
