I'm a supporter in Amaro and not yet ready to write his career off based on one rookie season and an injured one during his 2nd season last year in which he never played. I'll wait and see how he performs as a 3rd year player. That's my approach with Amaro here in 2016. Maybe last year could've been good for Jace being able to study the playbook some more for a better understanding of his X's & O's. Sometimes it takes a good 3 years for these pass catching prospects to show signs of promise. We'll see this up coming season but his route running and ability to get open are both there; if he becomes consistent catching the ball (must improve) he can become another offensive weapon & an X-Factor inside the red zone. Time will tell but as a fan base it's premature to write off his potential due to one rookie season with a young an inexperienced Geno under Center. Just my thoughts.
He needs to make some big strides in the regular season because he's been essentially garbage in live game action this preseason. He looks stiff and unathletic out there, let's the ball float to him rather than attacking the football to make a play on it. I think he's got good hands so the rookie season drops doesn't worry me, but he just doesn't seem to be anything more than a big slow body. Sudfeld at least looks to have some acceleration in the open field, which Amaro doesn't display, but he also doesn't attack the football in the air (as I specifically remember Geno's interception vs. Green Bay and he simply watched the defender make a play on it). I appreciate your optimism for Amaro and the position but he looks pretty worthy of the bust label to me. He flashed a lot his rookie year so I hope I'm wrong. Good routes and learning to use his body to box out can go a long way in turning him into a solid contributor. I remember him catching a fade ball for a touchdown his rookie year where he used his body to man-handle the defender. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-cant-...Jace-Amaro-catches-first-career-NFL-touchdown
Where's Johnny Mitchell when we need him ,,lol Heck Kyle Brady would look good playing TE for us right now
I never said Kellen Davis was better, I said he had a longer career, PLUS he was a 5th round pick in the same class. We traded up to get Hellen Keller.... A first round tight end that we let walk, great value. Pro-bowls are a measure of a players success. FURTHER, if you disagree and you want to go on stats, Keller only cracked the top 10 in yards once in his career. Guy sucked, sorry your parents bought you a dustin keller jersey and its collecting moth holes in your closet.
We both know the Jets were not drafting Jordy hehe there's a reason the Packers and Steelers etc are successful
I know which pick you were talking about, they moved up from the 2nd round into the 1st and it cost them a 4th round pick. That you think the Pro Bowl is a "measure of a players success" tells me all I need to know about your thinking. I'll post one more comment on the matter, basing how good you think a player is on where other players were picked is moronic.
So when Nick Mangold is up for the Hall of fame, and they reference his 7 pro bowls, I'm sure the writers will not give that any credence. Successful players make Pro-bowls, yea that's a novel idea where did I ever come up with that one. But that Dustin Keller, man was he good. Give me a break.
No fool. I guarantee you the first thing will be those all pro recognitions cause those actually hold weight
There's a big difference between Nick Mangold, arguably the best center in the past decade and hot trash. There's varying degrees of success. If one of our rookie receivers had 48 receptions and 535 yards in their first season would you call them not good? If by their fourth they were pulling 65 receptions 815 yards would you call them not good? That production coming from a tight end in a run heavy offense. Keller was far from unsuccessful. Not pro bowl worthy, sure, but to say he was no good is ignorant to say the least.
NY Post said he's on the roster bubble. Part of me believes that there must have been something about the manner in which he injured his shoulder last year that got the FO & CS so pissed off at this guy. Normally some story like that would have leaked to the press, but that's what I think happened. Like he got hurt cliff diving into the water in the Bahamas or fell down off a motorcycle drunk or something. He might not have been "their" draft pick, - but its not like he was a reach draft pick at all. He was basically projected to be selected at around that time, --- it was a need position, and I'll go on the record saying I wanted them to draft him at that point in time. I'm just not a big fan of giving up on a 2nd rounder so soon. I mean, f--k! ---- Dee Milliner still has a locker!!!!!
Yeah, I think there's something more than meets the eye about Amaro. Like people just don't like him or something. I'm holding out hope still. I don't really think he disappeared in the games tho. In the first two games he looked okay to me. Geno never even looked at him and he was wide open several times. Petty missed him a couple of times also. The Fitz drop in the third game was bad, but I think it's more about something other than drops with TB. Amaro appeared to me to do everything he could to get better and play up to his 2nd rd status I think Costello raised the question more than saying he knew anything. And btw, I can't that guy. So me giving him slack is something. I didn't even click the article 'til you brought it up... It couldn't make me happy enough to see him wrong about anything. On the other hand I think Burris is a better player than Milliner already. He lacks high end speed, prolly the reason he went in he 4th, but he played ahead of Milliner the whole pre-season. A good player trumps the measurables here I think. To me Milliner is and was a bust. Being wrong about that would be fine tho.
those are important too. Relax yourself, maybe change your Depends. Btw in 2009, totally a popularity contest Jason Witten, Chris Cooley in the NFC, tony Gonzalez, Antonio gates, Owen Daniels in the AFC. Those players are totally more popular than Helen Keller that's the only reason they made it over him. I'm too lazy to check 2010-2012
