Quote:Justin Blackmon barely has 1000 yards for his career. By the time the regular season comes around it will have been almost *2 years* between games for Blackmon. 

 

Reaction A: Justin Blackmon is an elite receiver and the next Dez Bryant.

Reaction B: It's unlikely to expect Blackmon to play at a high level. 

 

Apparently on this board, A is the nuanced, reasonable, thoughtful conclusion and B makes one a "clown", "hater" and numerous other things that are against this board's TOS. 

 

"Barely 1000 yards for his career..."  He has 1280 yards in his rookie season + 4 games.  That's with Gabbert and Henne throwing the ball to him.  There's room for differences of opinions here but of course you're going to get laughed at if you don't think he has the ability to perform at a very high level.  From a raw talent standpoint he might be the best receiver we've ever had here.  You're right that he has been out for nearly 2 years and it will take him a while to get back, but that doesn't mean he can't.  IF he is dedicated and can overcome his problems, I expect him to perform at a pro-bowl level.
