2lakes 4 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Yeah, sheeeeesh. He's had a whole month of practice now and several (read "one") games. We better give up on all the freshmen who have not played yet. Heck, we should have done that with Harrison Smith too... SMH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corysold 0 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 We could probably say the same regarding your DomerDomain career, but I digress. I'm assuming you watched the game and saw they threw two balls to WR downfield and even those weren't truly downfield passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the kid doesn't catch one ball this year, I will still think he has the ability to help this team win. People need to be patient with kids.

marcwithglasses 0 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 talking about potential playmakers in the same breath as proven commodities is what it is. don't tell me the guy is a player till he's a player. what are we talking about "practice?" what happened to 'give credit where credit is due'? when he makes plays / has the impact that his good name has already credited him with, it's deserved, until then he's on the roster. it's like when fans get wrapped up in recruiting rankings and how good a guy "must" be. you can hope and dream all you want, but we'll see what pans out. we will see. i'm not saying much of anything other than i can not see why i keep seeing his name attached to why nd is impressive. i'm sure you think i'm not saying much of anything, period.

dangeruss 6 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 did chris brown even play against navy? i saw neal and ferguson out there but not brown, i figured that BK would just tell him to run deep at least once in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of people here at DD were excited about his potential, not calling him a "sure thing." Same goes for Golson, McDaniel, and the whole squad even after the success we had in this our first game of the season. It is fun to look at the positives and project a little bit as long as it does not lead to unrealistic expectations. When we come back after the first game and show frustration and disappointment over a freshman because he did not catch a pass, then we are doing exactly what we should not be doing as fans: weighing down our team with our own unreasonable demands. Saying that an athlete is very gifted or very fast -- those are observations that we can safely make. Saying that a freshman receiver should get a touch in a game where our running backs dominated -- that does not do anybody any good. Are we to be disappointed because Neal did not take a punt to the house or break one of the reverses for a big gain? Should we have been disappointed when Golden Tate did not make a catch in this debut game against Georgia Tech in '07? I, for one, had no expectations that any particular receiver, with the exception maybe of Eifert, was going to catch a pass in this game. And let's face it, even those players who have all the potential in the world, they still have to master the mental aspect of the game, jump over the academic and personal life hurdles, and avoid injuries.
