I like this^! 75 to 80 catches as a Rookie!? That should put him over 1000 yards receiving! 
At that rate, what, 10-12 Td's!?!

This reminds me of an article in the OC Register back in the day when the Rams drafted Troy Drayton. The local sports writer claimed after watching Drayton at practice the he would have 70 catches in the season.
Didn't happen. 27 catches his first season. Can you imagine 70 catches for a tight end?

If things go well for Kupp I could see 35-50 catches. I will be over the moon with anything beyond that. Depends on how much playing time he gets though. So many pass catchers to evaluate. Makes you almost forget guys like Thomas and Cooper who should have an edge going into their 2nd year if they have any talent.

I think he's going to end up looking very smart at the end of the year. Myself and @Mackeyser have kind of bandied about in our own echo chamber about Kupp, but I really think this kid is special. He's the sort of special that will get it right away. His technical skill is already on par with veteran NFL WRs. He sees the game and understands the game in a way that most WRs don't. If this kid stays healthy, it's going to be hard for us to keep him off the field.
He's the type of player who can dissect his opposition with his mind and apply that to the field. That's what makes Antonio Brown so unstoppable. Antonio Brown is a step ahead at all times. Antonio isn't an elite athlete. He's just a guy who gets the game like few do. Kupp is similar in that regard. He has the right athletic traits to get open at the NFL level. And he's going to catch the ball when he gets open. Kupp just gets football. And McVay will know how to harness it.
But hey, I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time or the second time or the third time . . . .

I was watching some youtube highlights of Cupp again this morning and I noticed on of the comments said that Cupp reminds him of Dez Bryant. I never really thought about this but you look at the way the guy runs and the way he attacks the ball they really do look a lot a like on the football field. Cupp may not be quite as fast but I believe Dez ran a 4.5 something so there not that far apart.

I just wish people would lay off on Kupp before he's taken to the field. I don't want him to be a marked man, and I don't want too much pressure on him. The higher up that pedestal players are put the further they have to fall.
What I have liked about Kupp though is the similarities I'm getting between him and McVay, the way they approach the sport is a very similar way, their work ethic, the way that they seem to understand both Offence AND Defence to maximise a play. I'm quietly hoping that this is a football match made in heaven. But no pressure Kupp
