Do you believe Brian Thomas Jr will be an upgrade over Ridley?
|
I believe he will have the speed and vertical threat that we need. The question we do not know yet can he keep his hands on the ball in the NFL when that contact is coming. I sure hope so but also do not know enough about receiver play to make a real assessment. Thoughts?

He will have some big games and score TDs. But he’s gotta come in and work. His speed and size got him where he’s at, and now he’s gotta figure it all out on the pro level with the best on the planet.
Answer: not in year 1.
Yes. 76 catches, 1,016 yards and 8 TD's is the benchmark. I honestly think by the end of the year he'll have similar, if not, better statistics.

Sure he will. The Jags can go 1 -16 the previous year and we all talk ourselves into winning the Super Bowl about now till the preseason begins. Then reality sets in. Gotta love the "Kool-Aid" season. It is the only thing that got me trough the year until TL came.

@can he run an end around for a loss of 4? low bar is low.@
I don't expect him to immediately replace Rid's productivity, but as he gets settled in I fully expect him to be doing a lot of the things Rid did - drawing flags, moving chains, running crisp routes. He does have an advantage that the offense is already stacked with other guys that are fully capable of abusing defenses, so they won't be able to focus solely on shutting him down, or they'll get burned by one of the vets.
He's going to be streaky. Fully expect weeks like this out of him:
3 catches, 28 yards 4 catches, 56 yards 1 catch, 17 yards 8 catches, 133 yards, 2 TD's 0 catches 1 catch, 11 yards 5 catches, 95 yards, 1 TD [BLEEP] like that. Don't sleep on this kid yall. I am telling you. BEEN telling you. If you were paying attention late last year over there in the college forum. This [BLEEP] kid can play, he is exactly what Lawrence has been missing and we're fixing to see a lot of good things come out of this connection. And it WILL be sooner rather than later. Kool-Aid season be damned I say! ![]() "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.

Ridley didn’t strike fear in anyone’s heart. I think between Brian and Gabe, we’ll have better numbers than Calvin and Zay. The Ridley we had last year wasn’t “that dude”.

Hopefully, but it's way too early to say. I don't expect to see much until the latter part of the season.

I think that'll be the first seven to nine weeks for him though and once we get into November we'll see him become a consistent 4 - 6 catches, 60+ yards receiving type of average with enough games where he'll catch contested TD's to hit 8 or more. I have high expectations for him. I really do. I also know that Lawrence is not going to hesitate slinging it his way. He's going to get plenty of opportunities to put points on the board and stats on the sheet. ![]() "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?

Not in Brian's rookie season...but overall, heck yes.

Brandon Scherff is no longer that dude. Next season I want him gone. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

My take is he will go off a small bit to begin with early in the season. After teams get some tape it will taper off a bit then resurface later.

He'll be a different kind of player. Personally I don't expect him to put up the same catches or yards. But he may bring more home run plays so it is possible he will be more impactful. To be honest I think that needs to be the expectation.
