I was still a little north of pissed off for a perfect recollection of that, but some degree of dipshittery went into that and I'm pretty sure it fell on Robinson.
Dude's not smart, but he's so much quicker in and out of his cuts. Conley's become a fairly poor fit for this system, IMO. He does some nice things and I like his technique when he's catching so he's a good red zone weapon. But as the offense has evolved, his major weakness has gone from a frustration to a liability. The guy is just trash in and out of his cuts. He can't get separation because of it.
That's fine when he's the 3 and everyone else is creating the space for him. But when he's moved into that X role and he has to just go beat his man - he can't do it. Robinson, OTOH, can.
He's a far more dangerous player than Conley in this system. If he can understand the offense to even 80% the level of Conley, he's a better guy to have.

I like Conley, think he brings some maturity and is good to have around. But once it's time to pay, nah good luck elsewhere.
You essentially just picked up a Conley clone on the waiver wire for like 180K in a disgruntled first round pick. Seriously, I'm pretty sure Benjamin can give you what Conley can.
I also think yesterday is a perfect example of why they paid Watkins. It was an overpay and everything, but he's also really good when he's out there and opens up everything elsewhere.
