He had 2 hit him right in the hands today and couldn’t bring them in, one for a TD and another on the sideline for a good gain. Not easy catches, but your WR1 has to be able to make those plays consistently.

especially when talking about chase who went off for 200 yards lol
and yeah hollywood is one of the most "open" receivers in the league - i imagine he's dropped slightly in recent weeks as the offence has shrunk with the backups
but in 2020 he was one of the top 3 receivers in terms of how open he got per route
and in 2021 he was again similarly creating massive separation until the offence closed up (and even then he's killing guys downfield when he gets those opportunities)
for example when we ran the last play for the 100yd rushing game against denver

I’ll take him as a #2 to Bateman’s #1. Extremely good duo, plus Hollywood and Lamar have too much of a good rapport on the field and they’re best friends off of it. I wouldn’t break the bank obviously but I’d be mad if they didn’t extend him

lol I didn’t notice. Are we mad?
Who gives a shit, we were playing with a practice squad D, means nothing.
its tough we have to make that judgement on the extension before watching bateman more tbh. i hate all his complaining and soldjas bs when he is only a deep threat to me.

Right. But if he’s after #1money I say let him walk.

And I think he’s soft, just don’t see the fight in him.
the TD one im 100% not putting on him - the ball got tipped literally right as he went up for the catch - the defender made a good PD...
i dont remember the other one
i mean hollywood was on track to be a top 10 WR in terms of production before lamar fell off
this feels like pure reactionary recency bias because he doesnt break tackles...

He’s had some nice games here and there, but nothing consistent.

Yeah it’s a shame. The drops are annoying and he clearly avoids contact. He falls down 2-3 yards before the defender touches him. His YAC ovule be much better if he would just run to the whistle. He’s over 900 yards receiving so he’s been productive but it could be so much better.

Marquise is a figure because she is lucky that Lamar throws her most of the time.
proche, wallace, duvernay can do the same as him.
Bateman is clearly superior.
I do not consider it essential with our current body of faith receivers.

He fights in playoff games. With his frame I'm not mad at him for avoiding some contact. And we've seen he'll risk it in end-of-game situations.
I'm telling you all right now. If Brown leaves for a competent passing offense he'll do numbers and you all will see the mistake it was letting him go.
Agreed. Roll with them and see what you got. Supplement with a vet on the minimum/PS each year and I'm comfortable with that unit for the foreseeable future.
what would count as consistent to you?
because while not always spectacular he's had 4/40 in 12/14 games he's played this year
and until the recent offensive slump he was one of the most prolific TD receivers in the NFL dating back to mid 2020
he's only had 5 drops this entire season

Johnson was scout team QB so that's why he trusted Proche.
Idk if we re-sign Hollywood but thats something EDC has to decide in early 2023. All i know is Hollywood's the best WR we've drafted. Bateman played a couple of games and you already think he is clearly superior? Duvernay is not even close when it comes to route running.
Yes hollywoods not the biggest WR and may not always fight for every yard. But other than that he's really good and i second redrum52.
He plays gow he suppose to play imo.. when contact isnt necessary, fall to ground or go outta bounds.. gotta remember he is small as shit with what it look to be no muscle mass lol
