That's the thing though. VJ just doesn't have that gift. He's a faster, far more polished Josh Reynolds. A body catcher who is only as effective as the accuracy of the pass and how tight the coverage is. He could get better in other ways, but these guys rarely develop more body control.
Yeah and it's unlikely for a receiver to suddenly grow into being more aggressive with the ball. Some guys are just ballers. But I'm sure they try to bring that out of him and who knows maybe he improves there. He'd be fine with a more safe QB but with Stafford those elements are really magnified.
Stafford's that QB who will put the ball on you and surprise you. I don't think any of these guys can relax on any snap because the ball might be coming their way.
Skow's poor night I'll overlook because he was a rookie but he also has to work on those hands. Last two games we really felt his draft status and inability to challenge coverages so he's gonna be a depth/teams/fullback type piece and will be valuable in this offense in those roles.
Harris moving to WR makes things interesting. He's not a great route runner first off. But he's got size, you can highpoint him very easily with his athleticism on top of that, he just needs to work his ass off on focusing the ball in IMO. He does fit though, going forward.
The piece who looks like a misfit toy is Tutu. Not to bag on the dude but not only was he a disappointment in his work ethic per McVay but he also doesn't really complement 9.
We might see some moves made with the WR roster this offseason. I know dealing Tutu isn't a good idea when you're selling low but it might happen if they decide to start that adjustment towards bigger targets.
