Jesus.

Pretty much how I see it.

It took this team too ****ing long to find his value to the team, which oddly enough was as a short/midrange possession receiver.

I predict teams who sign him will try to do that dumbshit "get him the ball in space cuz he's a lightning bug!" bullshit that Haley and Romeo tried to work in constantly. His new team will get frustrated when that shit doesn't work (like it's always been) and he'll get dumped.

He should have been used like a Kevin Faulk (Pats.) Instead we tried to move him and the position was just never natural to him...

I think the problem was that he was used too often like Kevin Faulk.

I always hated that he was trained to play 2 different positions. I said years ago the only way he'll make it in the NFL is if he learns to be a good receiver. This is really the first year that the team committed to him playing purely receiver and it started to pay off toward the end.

SNR nailed it. He should be paid like a short to mid-range possession receiver. And he's pretty decent in that role. But he's going to get paid like a playmaker and that team is going to be really disappointed.

I think it's a pretty small sample size to say that all CFL players suck.


Plenty of guys are there for a variety of reasons. It's similar (but not the same) to quality guys playing at lower tier/non-D1 schools. Sure, it's a smaller talent pool of quality players. Never know until you try it out.


The people that are certain he's going to produce are of a different breed.

Say what you will about Dressler and the CFL but you can't teach elite hands. He makes some tough catches, and not to mention in a lot of his highlights he is WIDE open. That means you are doing something right.

Just saying, it's pretty hard to judge how his release will translate to the NFL against corners that can actually press him.

I lived in Grand Forks, ND when he was in college at UND, so I saw most of his games.

Dude doesn't have elite hands any more than any other average receiver. And I could be wrong, but I think he might actually be shorter than McCluster.

Dressler has about a 1% chance of catching more than 10 balls for the team this year.

Exactly, plus playing on a bigger field. There's a reason why most of the CFL players play in Canada - its where they BELONG...

I hope he signs a huge deal. If you're not a DE or QB you only really get a shot at one.

I think it's a great fit for TN. Not sure how much he'll offer as a WR to them because they have a pretty good core there but their return game was unbelievably bad last year.

Titans committed a safety on the opening kick off last year. Doesn't get much worse than that.

3 years, $12m, $4.5 guaranteed.
That's a richer deal than Avery got to be our No. 2 WR last year.

Get your SHIT STRAIGHT before you post STUPID STUFF...And an AWESOME catch for a TD against the Browns and an awesome return for a TD against the Giants. And a record setting performance against Washington. Easily 3 X as much good than bad. He WILL be missed in the return game but I do understand the economics of the situation.

When you align with trips, doubles, or empty you can have 2 players in the slot. Given how Wiz's teams have thrown the ball just a tiny bit from the gun, they might just use 2 players in the slot more often than 1.

1) loved his potential... "he ruled college ball and was a bona fide team leader"

2) started to get worried... "whats this guy doing? a roast beef sandwich would be better"

3) glimpses... "eh, he did a few things I can count on one hand, but still gotta ask... wheres the beef?"

4) draws back hands in fear... "lookout, we gotta badass over here... leaping touchdown grabs, incredible returns, crucial chain moving catches".

5) the inevitable result after a career year... "sorry pal, we cant afford you and your All-Pro demands, we''ll miss ya but maybe not as much as some people think".

No longer hate the guy, as a matter of fact his 2013 contributions were crucial, but business is business and players like him shouldn't be too terribly hard to replace.

Look at it this way, Dex... the second rounder expectations are gone AND you don't have to eat crap from old ladies ripping you a new one in their living room while you sign everything in sight.

Good luck and best wishes, no hate from me.
