I kind of look at him the same way I look at Blackmon. Anything he gives the team is just icing on the cake.

I think we are all rooting for Lee, but so far in his short NFL career he just hasn't done much to be worthy of being drafted in the 2nd rd.

 

I know he's been injured and has a hard time finishing a game when he does get to play.

 

Here are his stats so far in his 2 short seasons:

Once (if) he puts the injuries behind him he'll be great. He got behind the defense a lot when healthy last year, he and Blake need some chemistry and he'll catch more of those deep balls. Blake underthrew him a bunch, which to me means he's just not used to Lee's speed

If the Lee that is currently on the Jaguars can get to even half as good as the Lee that you see in his Supreme Marqise Lee Highlights video, we will all be extremely pleased with him.

Do we ever know then what we know now?
Yes he is young and still have all the talent

 

injuries happen, he still played more games his rookie year then Allen Robinson and most games last year then Green, he just has to put a whole offseason together without all the nagging injuries

Yes, we know that if Lee's career ended this offseason he'd be a total bust, but you never know when a WR with his kind of talent clicks. I thought Cecil Shorts was a bust after his rookie season, but then he turned it on in year two with nearly 1000 receiving yards and 7 TDs. Hopefully is really is just the injuries.

I'm a believer, unless he shows me nothing this coming year I think he will be good.  I don't think he will ever wow with stats but him and Julius open up a ton of space for the rest of the offense to operate.

Watching this reminds me of watching ARob last year. I love how he'll catch anything from a short slant to a deep bomb and just keeps running for the TD.


 

As for his role this season, I see him as ARob's primary backup whenever he needs a breather, and in the mix outside at split-end along with Arrelious Benn to give Blake more deep passing targets.

Lee's clearly entering a make-or-break season, period. There's nothing else to say.
Wrs generally take 3 years anyway to me we got really lucky with Hurns and Arob I expect Lee to follow suit.

Hopefully, he'll stay healthy and flash this season, so he can be traded for a 4th rounder before his contract expires.

^^ this ^^

 

And if he plays a full season, he probably stays around longer and has a bigger impact.
Fingers crossed for several of these in 2016:

Greatest comeback in Jags history and Lee was a part of it

Here's a Clip

<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">"You see the smile. What you don’t see are the seven tattoos, high on his arm and shoulders so they’ll be hidden by a shirt, the ink of his grief. There is a tattoo for the deaf mother who was ordered to relinquish custody when he was a child. There is a tombstone tattoo for the brother who was murdered by a rival gang who shot him five times in the back. There is a praying hands tattoo for, among other things, the brother who is serving time in a Mississippi jail for attempted murder.

<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> 

<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">“People say things happen for a reason; well, I’m not trying to hear all that,” Lee said. “I don’t care about any reasons, some things just shouldn’t happen.”

<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> 

<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">You see the smile. What you don’t see is Lee dropping to his knees in a crowded end zone before every game and making the sign of the cross seven times, once for each member of his family and support system. He prays long and hard for the group that inspired his unusually selfless Twitter handle, @TeamLee1."
I've read this article before, but it was back when we drafted him.

 

I thank you for giving me the chance to read it again. Truly a touching back story.

 

No matter what Lee does, or doesn't accomplish in the NFL. You can't help but root for the guy.
No one on the team has his explosiveness and we're not picking another WR this year.  We have to give it one more shot to see if he can stay healthy.
