I got a nosebleed while i was writing this so i apologize if its unorganized or poorly composed. Lol

with the way Russell has been playing and the fact he is a rookie WR. If he can control the dropping of the ball, he does have the speed to stretch the field.

and he is drawing double coverage, that is part of the reason Murphy is open more. That being said he hasnt set the world on fire but lets not jump off the deep end.

If the guy throwing the ball sucks, not much the receiver can do.

A lot of rookie receivers struggle. At the same time, I never expected much from DHB. I’d love to be proven wrong but I haven’t seen any sparks from him—you can usually tell when a kid is going to be a talent in the NFL. Murphy, by comparison, makes mistakes but he’s also making catches and helping the team even with JR as our hapless QB.

It’s only 3 games, as Ozraider said. Really, I’m more wondering why Javon Walker is not playing. If we’re paying him $$ and he’s healthy, he should be out there rather than DHB right now.

We knew, as did the experts in the world of football scouting talent, that DHB is a developmental kid. I’ve said before, now more than ever a team needs to have three solid wideouts to be dangerous, and one of them shouldn’t be the tight end.

Historically, the best qbs had ’em. Was true with Marino, Unitas, Aikman, Namath, Brady, Montana. A dominant #1, a solid and sometimes better than the 1 #2, and a three, usually a possession type guy, if an x factor even better.

He’ll be a number 1, simply based on speed and if he can remain a student of the game and learn from the best (It is not ever unlikely for Rice or Brown to just show up at the facility) and figure out the things it takes to be great in the NFL, he’ll develop.

For now, we’ll only see flashes, but the great part is that he will be part of a receiver tandem, they’re all big, strong, and fast—necessary tools to be physical, create separation, and explode out of breaks in patterns. A little polishing and this guy will be outplaying Maclin, Murphy, Crabtree, and even Harvin. All of these guys bring their own thing to the table, and are uniquely superior at certain aspects, but DHB will evolve to be a more complete package, and a true #1.

Patience, Nation, Patience! I know it’s fucking hard, but believe. The problems we’ve had will continue to plague us but look forward to the flashes of brilliance due to the depth and variety of talent we have.

…so I’ll reserve judgment and just support him for now.

I know it’s ugly right now, but please be patient we have a young team that will get better, we are a defensive nose tackle and a middle linebacker away from a strong D. Let the line gel maybe another tackle and a solid summer with JR and these new receivers and we will really have a team to look at.
Go RAAAAAAADASSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
