Agree to disagree. I didn't expect him to catch a single pass last year.
Well, you should have told McVay that, because he had plans to use him in "exotic packages"
So I guess you know more than he does?

This post is unnecessarily hostile.

No, I obviously don't think I know more than McVay. All fans can point to decisions they were right about and a coach was wrong about. In most cases it's a 50/50 shot - a decision will either look good or bad.

I don't even remember McVay saying that - but even if I heard him say it, I still wouldn't have expected Hopkins to catch a pass.

And even if you're right and it's a red flag - were talking about the 13th-ish most important player on offense - having an unproven backup TE is fine. Higbee is a good player, having a talented but unproven backup TE doesn't bother me at all. I wouldn't invest anything in the TE group.

Its not hostile, not from my end at least. McVay doesnt draft players, particularly offense skill players, and intentionally sit them the whole year. He was drafted in the 4th round and they planned on using him right away. Johnny Mundt has been nothing more than a JAG for a couple years and this kid couldnt even get PT in front of him. So call it what you will, but if you want to say you expected this, you should have informed the Rams because they didnt
