Quote:For the first half of the season Robinson was sharing possession passes with Hurns. Coming into the season, the Jaguars didn't know who would be the number one so things were split pretty evenly for awhile. OBJ was clearly the target for the Giants from the start. Imagine what Robinson will do next year with a better game plan for him.

 

Outstanding job for Hurns also, I wasn't trying to discredit him. Having them both is great.

 

Allen Hurns caught 10 passes for over 100 yards in just the first half at Indianapolis. Then after halftime he caught only one more pass. I never understood that.

 

It was clear last year Allen Robinson is #1 and Hurns is #2. Maybe getting a new OC was why Hurns got more catches in the first half of the season than he does now.

 

Odell Beckham might be the best WR in the league. Nobody else can catch footballs like he does. So it was a pretty obvious choice for the Giants.

 

 

Quote:Do you guys think A-Rob's skill set is also good for longevity vs other high profile receivers with insane straight line speed, or will he be subject to the same tapering off profile? Just interested in that sort of thing. I have hope he'll maintain dominance a lot longer for his vertical aggressiveness rather than speed. Not sure that is how it works though.

 

You bring up a good point. Most people talk about longevity for QBs and RBs but not WRs. I don't know why straight line speed would have anything to do with it. The major factor is durability. Is he injury-prone? I think you would be crazy to say that about a guy who suffered only one major injury in two seasons. Because many receivers don't jump as high as Robinson does, I can't say if that will become an issue late in his career.
