Quote:The best kind of humor has at least some grounding in fact. 

 

And you don't think a good portion of why that might be the case is because the team relied so heavily on the running game, forcing him to be more of a blocker than a receiver?  This is a guy who came into the league as one of the top pass catching TEs in the country.  It's not like he was incapable of making plays when he entered the NFL.  What the team did as far as utilizing him had as much to do with his lack of production as anything else.  He didn't help things with the drops he's had over the years, but hopefully with a renewed focus this year, and a few less distractions, he'll overcome that this season.  I see nothing wrong with him showing confidence. 

 

I agree, it's why my humor is so excellent. Marcedes really is a bad pass catching TE.

 

No need to make excuses for him, great players rise above what's around them, and Marcedes has never done that. He's just a bottom of the roster kind of TE on any other team in the league. If the Jaguars released him today he'd eventually get picked up, but he'd be a package player at best.

 

He runs like he's on stilts and catches like he's wearing boxing gloves.
