    The coaches thought Tajae was a better option than Tre McBride last year. I'm not sure why that would change this year, if he is healthy.

    Because Tajae did not live up to the preseason hype last year


    And because he made a rap album

    Lol, the only hype was that Sharpe, a 5th rounder, was starting. And he was only starting because of how poverty everyone else at the position was.

    That's an indictment on McBride as much as anyone else. At no point last year, did I think, "Man, we would be so much better with Tre McBride in there."

    He has looked good though in the preseason, so I don't care. I just hope Harry Douglas is gone and inevitably retired in two weeks.

    Most noteworthy thing he did in two seasons was get our team into a fight. Can't imagine that's going to change now that WR isn't a glaring weakness.

    Just your reminder:

    Sharpe finished 5th in both receiving yards and receptions amongst rookies.

    The rookie WRs that had better numbers:

    2nd round pick Michael Thomas
    2nd round pick Sterling Shepard
    1st round pick Will Fuller
    2nd round pick Tyler Boyd


    *Sharpe was a fifth round draft pick.

    dont worry about those posters who have to use a qualifier to make their statement true

    facts are he's not very good overall, have to put in that rookie qualifier to make him look ok..

    the passer rating stat and catch rate do it for me, then you add the 50.3 PFF score... PFF if anything is in the right neighborhood on their grades, 50.3 PFF score in Madden probably translates to about a 50-60 Madden rating, everyone can relate to what those types can do..

    His explosion is also low, gonna be hard to compete in the NFL when youre slow as a WR.. Theres a pretty real good chance hes gone.

    "have to put in the rookie qualifier".... uh. Yes. That's called context and it's important for explaining things logically.

    Because I promise you- none of those other teams are complaining about the production of their rookies.... and took them higher.

    But... gotitans gonna gotitans.

    Mark Howard is an idiot that spouts off **** just for the sake of it. He's not as bad as PK so I give him that.

    Like a MF! I'm with you @Deuce Wayne I don't think Sharpe is as terrible as many make him out to be. Normally the off the field stuff would have made me give up on a player but knowing that he's got some toughness to him actually makes me like him even more in this case. Sounds like some dude popped off and ran his mouth and Sharpe whooped hiss assss real proper-like. It was his strong work ethic that boosted him up with the 1st team after last season's camp and now suddenly he sucks because he didn't lead the league.

    I'm not willing to give up on him. Not only do I think he'll make the team, I believe he's better than Douglas, McBride, and even Decker. Hell I'd even argue that he's our best WR next to Matthews.
