Moncrief isn't the player I hoped he'd turn out to be in this offense. I was overly optimistic he'd be able to be a more consistent target. He has struggled more than I thought he would. 

Some of the posts are pretty accurate, some of them are really stupid, and some of them are clearly made by folks that have no clue what they are watching. Half of these posters were saying similar things about Yeldon a year ago.

Regarding the notion that he's playing "lazy" - I find that to be pretty poor analysis after reviewing some of his work in game pass.  You could find a handful of plays from a few games in which he appears to give up on a route and maybe two plays where he doesn't fight for a ball when he may have been able to salvage a reception from a bad throw. It's a small percentage of his snaps that appear "lazy." 

But mostly I just see incompletions coming from a combination of other factors. In some - he and Blake are clearly expecting the ball to be delivered to different places. In others  - Blake throws some really bad passes. In a few more, Moncrief appears to not think the ball is coming his way at all based on the coverage. He should be more alert in those instances even if the decision to throw his way was a bad one. 

Regardless of my opinion of this "lazy" narrative, he's been a disappointment for the most part. I was an advocate saying that he'd turn out to be worth at least "most" of his inflated salary.  It's not looking like that's going to happen.

Prior to taking that stance - I was an advocate of tagging A-Rob.
