although DHB has struggled the first couple of days in camp, he’s shown signs of turning it around.

While I was critical of Heyward-Bey’s drops, him turning it around is something that I expected to see at some point. I mean, he’s a wide receiver. He can’t drop passes forever. It was just tough to see a seventh overall pick struggle so much.

and a couple of really nice catches as well by all accounts.

I would love to see both DHB and Mitchell really stick it to the haters this year – I would love nothing more than to watch certain media personalities this season.

I think we all hope he does turn it around. I hate to think we’d have another first round flop on our hands. We don’t want to root against him, just worried. We passed on some big talent so we all hope this pays off.

Only time will tell. I think we should at least give him a year or two. After all, it’s what we do for J-Russ!!!! And it’s the right thing to do.

The knock on DHB coming into the draft was his hands. So far, the empirical evidence supports the notion that his hands are suspect.

You need to see more than just “signs of turning it around”. HE needs to catch everything in sight or he will get hammered by the local and national media for being a WR who can’t be relied upon. The he will have confidence issues, Then Russell/Garcia won’t have confidence in him. Then they won’t throw it to him.

It’s a horrible process. He just has to elevate his mental game and catch the stupid football.
