ST. STEVEN Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 YES! Finally a QB to get him the ball downfield. 📈 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayTheWaivers Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Sky's the limit but there's still a lot of weapons in this offense that require attention. Certainly a loaded skill corps for Wilson however. Wonder if Hackett will let him sling it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGDDYKWL Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Guy was an absolutely unbelievable talent pre-injury. Based on last year I'm not sure he's ever gonna be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST. STEVEN Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Last season up until WK17 Sutton had 27 deep targets (20+ yards downfield)...only 8 of those targets were actually deemed 'catchable' per PFF. Sutton caught all 8. Another year removed from ACL, and having a far more normal offseason will be huge for him. He is the alpha in this offense imo. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolcopter Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I'm optimistic but it still seems like a thin value proposition. Have to imagine his ADP will be as high as second round come fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayTheWaivers Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Dude also got paid, but yes. I can see him and Jeudy in the 3rd and 4th round respectively, just like Lamb and Cooper last year. That did not work out. However, what did work out was Kupp and Woods in the 4th round. Overall, I don't like it, but let's see the ADP.  Edited March 10, 2022 by PlayTheWaivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST. STEVEN Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Camp reports have been very glowing (fwiw)...He is the alpha WR of their corps, let's ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harck Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I loved watching Sutton during his 2019 breakout season but my major concern is the guy was STILL wearing a knee brace towards the end of the year last year and in some off-season training shots. Want to see if that thing comes off by the time the season rolls around. Ain't no player with a knee brace on making sharp cuts inside or outside; I'm not worried about his vertical game or contested catch ability, but his cutting ability is going to suffer as long as he has that thing on.

He has been training all off-season without the brace -including throwing sessions with Russ. I have not seen him sporting it once in camp either.

I have not seen him sporting it once in camp either. That's great to hear. He worried me last year when he kept it on till the end of the year and said "it was here to stay" in press conferences. I was skeptical of that comment because those things really limit side to side mobility which is essential for guys with Sutton's frame that can feast on slants and crossing routes. Maybe it was Hamler that I saw sporting the brace in one of the training vids and assumed it was Sutton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyWoo Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Rumors from camp are that this guy's getting all the love from Wilson and that they have more chemistry than Pierre and Marie Curie. While Jeudy hasn't been in Bible study with either of them. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JE7HorseGod Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Smarter people than me have identified that if we were to compare this to say, the Bucs receivers, that Sutton would play the Mike Evans SE role and that Jeudy would be more of the Godwin FL-Slot role. Patrick muddles things a bit in the sense that he is capable of manning all three positions, but plays most out of FL on 3 WR sets while Jeudy most frequently moves inside to the slot. The Seahawks didn't really have a "Patrick" in that sense, and so when comparing the situation to the Bucs through the lens of Wilson's previous experience It's not entirely analogous. While Godwin could have had better seasons than Evans, if, say, Antonio Brown is healthy the whole year it changes the calculus, and we don't have any idea how Wilson favors a third WR in this scenario if they are equally talented. I want to draft Sutton. He's bigger, he jumps higher, he's produced at a higher level, and he seems like a better downfield target for Wilson's moonshot style than the other two. He costs more but I think he'll be worth it. If you want to take a crack at the other two I can't blame you. I might take a flier on Patrick but Jeudy is going in a spot right now where my projection on him doesn't jive.

BGDDYKWL Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 This guy was one of the top talents in the league pre-injury. He made several unbelievable catches. If he's even 80% of that with an actual NFL quarterback and I'd expect WR1 numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, he looked nothing like his 2019 self last year, hopefully 2 years removed from the ACL + the new QB will rejuvenate him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of this "looking nothing like his 2019 self" though was the injury vs. just bad play calling and QB play... On 3/9/2022 at 9:09 AM, ST.

Now, how much did that effect the play calling to not calling his number more often if his most powerful tool is removed.  I do agree that maybe beyond the deepball, maybe his number wasnt called last year on slants and more intermediate routes because of his injury. But he did blow up in weeks 2, 5 and 6 - so the fuel for the fire is still there... I know there have been a lot of comparisons of Russ to DK, but with Hackett here, I am just hoping we get better playcalling and focus on using players to their best talents. Maybe Davante with less target-share is a better way to think of Sutton's upside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
affliction Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 This WR group is going to be hard to predict but I’m heavy Sutton in BB. This is different than the Rams last year. Broncos have 4 quality receivers (Hamler back practicing) Rams had 2 to start the year. Starting to temper my expectations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to temper my expectations Hamler's injury story last year was insane. His story is inspiring but I am not expecting him to be much of a factor. "Due to the resulting surgical procedure, Hamler was left without the use of both his legs initially, and afterward, the former Penn State standout had to use a walking aid to get around. Even bathing and toileting become massive challenges, with Hamler losing an astonishing 40 pounds of body weight in recovery." https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.si.com/nfl/broncos/.amp/news/kj-hamler-injury-details-return-update-2022 The significant question is how big a role Patrick plays, and if it is significant, whose workload does it cut into? To me that's much more like Jeudy than Sutton, because while Patrick is capable of playing SE, you're much more likely to see him at flanker pushing Jeudy into the slot. Sutton's much more likely to pull those iso plays that you see Evans in or what Dez Bryant used to do, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamler will probably be a situational guy. Get a few shots deep every once in while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST. STEVEN Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Stinks for Patrick and maybe a bit for Russ, but it definitely narrows the target focus for Sutton and Jeudy and creates a bit of a vacuum that maybe Hamler can fill, though after seeing what @JE7HorseGod has said about his injury, I have major doubts he can be a big contributor. Maybe the rookie 5th rounder that has been getting rave reviews in camp steps up? Or they shift some and run more 2 TE or multi back pro-form sets? Either way this is setting up very well for Sutton and Jeudy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
