The only thing slowing him down was landing with Arthur Smith who lost his mind in Atlanta but is now a good OC again in Pittsburgh. |

So when you see a stat -- ANY stat -- where there's somebody that's out there doing things 50% better than anyone else in the league....you should REALLY start to question that stat. Because the odds of Skyy Moore unlocking the rosetta stone for WR separation are...zero. Or Richie James, if we want to cite someone who's unlikely to illicit such strong opinions. When you have these guys out there pulling up 2-3 yards of separation on average when the rest of the league is struggling to find a yard...well that tells you the stat is probably silly. Richie James didn't come up with some magic way of running routes that Justin Jefferson just can't do or doesn't understand. The margins are so small that if your stat ISN'T showing small margins, the problem is probably with the stat.

I thought Skyy should have been cut year 2.
We knew enough then to see he wasn’t NFL caliber and would never be. |

That is the thing though. He DOES separate at least at the initial point burst. I feel like he MUST not be very physical and get bumped off his route too easily. Combine that with his awful awful football IQ and just not understanding where he needs to receive the ball.

In the same draft year as Skyy was Khalil Shakir who was always better at football.
Shakir would accelerate out of his break and when the ball was in the air he was getting it. Skyy doesn’t have that dog in him. |

Was watching Royals videos online. He reminds me a little bit of a bigger Randall Cobb. Quarterback friendly receiver. Does not profile as a potential alpha #1 receiver. But has the potential to become an excellent #2 receiver in the NFL. Great YAC ability.

Oh, that’s hot.

Royals should be the sixth option after Rice, Worthy, Hollywood, Kelce, and whichever RB is on the field. We really don’t have a true X at all. I would actually agree with him that Hollywood is the nearest to that mold, though. Rice’s size makes him a better fit but he doesn’t have the route tree. |
