Didn't see tonight's game, so if he had drops that is new...has always been reliable receiving..I've read his lack of route running discipline has been the issue...but his stats this year probably surpass everything he has done the past 2 years

Considering his first year was only 1 catch for 15 yards, that's not a huge stretch; especially when the 2nd year was still just 20 catches for 200 yards.

No. He dropped a wide open, on the numbers, five yard pass for a first down the Vikings needed in the Green Bay game. Then, he muffed another on the numbers pass right into the hands of the Packers defense on a drive to win the game, Pack got three points out of it, and the Vikings had to score a TD and go for a 2pt conversion just to take it into over time. Then he dropped another one in overtime.

He couldn't put the playbook together in year one and then he got hurt in year two. He's a 1st rounder, in his third year, and he caught his first NFL touchdown only two weeks ago. What?

He's fifty fifty at best at catching a ball

He has not be a reliable receiver. Watch Diggs, watch thielen, watch Rudolph, those are guys who aren't first rounders that get thrown to in the clutch.
