Ok so I have to bring it up. Do y'all finally agree about Coates?

Are y'all still going to defend him? He has all the abilities except hands. He needs better hands.
Everybody had the drops tonight besides Ricardo who usually struggles the most

I've been reluctant to call him a first rounder. They all played like shite though.

Coates played himself off of my Christmas Card list tonight. He has plenty of time to get back on it.

I always thought this was a known fact. I have always felt Sammy lacked elite catching skills. If he had those he would be the talk of CFB due to all of his other attributes.

If he continues to drop passes he'll be back next year.

I felt like Sammie and Duke both played themselves outa the first round tonight. IMO.

Sammie gives up on passes way too easy, very frustrating

He reminds me of Julio Jones. He'll drop some balls that'll make you say wtf but then when you need him most he'll give you a catch

Coates dropped 12.5% of his passes last year. As much as the lack of fundamentals in today's football kills me his dropped pass % is a standard % for today's higher drafted WRs.

Wasn't convinced. Too opinion based.

That's what I thought too. This board seems to disagree.

Oh well, that is their prerogative. :sigh:

I agree I don't think Duke hurt his stock much at all because he put up good numbers
Posted on 9/18/14 at 11:28 pm to Weagle25
He's always had stone hands and butter fingers.

Exactly.
I don't care about the comparison of Coates to Louis.
