More talented, yes. He’s quick as a cat and knows how to run his routes. But you are what you put on film. Until he starts playing better than those guys, he’s not better. We’ll know if he’s able to turn it around in the next handful of games.

Yes the drops and penalties have been rough, but the fact that he's still getting wide open on those plays is something to keep note of. For now, I think it makes sense to say "look, he's had some drops/mental errors but he also just played his 3rd game in 2 years.. he's knocking off the rust. 

I'd be more concerned if he lost speed or route running ability, but both of those things look crisp.. his hands were like magnets with the Falcons, i have no doubt he will get back on track.
