kyle021 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Everyone says he was second behind Amati from the WR drafted ahead of him. Lets not forget Kevin white missed entire year breshad Perriman missed entire year Devante Parker missed half the year Dorsett was buried behind Hilton, Montcrief and Johnson and had a noodle arm QB throwing the ball not taking advantage of his skill Devin Smith missed the entire year didn't he? Or did he just bomb out? I remember an injury Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TampaTitan Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 He didn't bust for us. Britt didn't really bust either, that knee ruined him. The answer has to be Hunter. And it's only really a bust to Titan fans. He was pretty irrelevant to the rest of the football world when we picked him. Wasn't as if he was a top prospect like Britt was.

Kent Calico Hunter DGB would you include Britt? i would think DGB takes the cake It's been our legacy. We couldn't even sign a FA WR without it turning into a train wreck.

pat Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 DGB was a bust, come on. Showed up this year out of shape. Pulled his hamstring. Got buried on the depth chart by a rookie and two old men. Got shipped out for a mediocre OL. Don't let the door hit ya where the Lord split ya Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may never happen, but it's too early in DGB's career to write him off as a bust. Plenty of WRs have taken years to pan out. And all of those guys had far more playing experience in college than DGB did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. He apparently lost the respect of his teammates, and I'm sure some of the trust from the QBs. If he finds success down the road in Philly or elsewhere it probably means he finally grew up and decided he wanted to put in the work and earn that trust and respect. Sometimes with young people it just takes a little longer to mature. That doesn't mean their first employer needs to wait around for them. Hopefully this was a kick in his ass that he'll use, and remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right after he got picked Kyle melted down and listed all the things he heard (or knew) about DGB. There were some rumors of major drug use as I recall.

headhunter Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 It's a shame a person as retarded as DGB can end up being a millionaire. He's the type to lose it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denali Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I had always thought his catching technique sucked. He usually didn't make his catches at the height of the ball but instead almost always waited for the ball to reach his chest. I had hoped he would grow out of it, but he has other technique issues as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the excuse I expect to hear from posters who are loving this trade right now and ignoring the fact he's been given all of one year to mature as a Titan. Most people thought he already got that kick in the ass when his college team cut him. We'll see what happens but as I have said a couple of times today, Philly doesn't appear to be a good situation for a guy like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see an excuse. I see facts. Aren't you the one that posted the tape of all of his targets last year? If you were throwing the ball and knew he struggled with routes, positioning and catches, how much faith would you have in him? The evidence is all over that tape. Not in the right spot, not getting his head around, and then hit him in the hands and he drops it. Sorry, but that's not an NFL level receiver, but he was a rook,... So this year he comes to camp having the same simplified playbook as everyone else, for the same length of time, and he doesn't know where to line up. Not good. Then the reports of drops everyday out of camp. Fails to release downfield on a go-route in the first preseason game, playing lackadaisically at best. Not good. 19 minutes ago, abenjami said: Most people thought he already got that kick in the ass when his college team cut him. People thought a lot of things about DGB. 2 OTAs, 1 rookie camp, 2 mini-camps and 2nd TC and he's still blowing plays others are making, and the evidence is right in front of you. What we thought doesn't appear to be reality. I was dying' for the kid to succeed. What a monster he could be if he used that massive frame, long arms and leggy speed the way he should consistently. The guy would be freaking UNstoppable. Tell Mke Evans and Julio Jones to take a back seat, DGB's in da house. Didn't happen. Dammit! Needs yet another kick in the ass. 30 minutes ago, abenjami said: We'll see what happens but as I have said a couple of times today, Philly doesn't appear to be a good situation for a guy like him. I don't think so either. Between the lack of QB talent and the nature of Philly Phans, I think he's Screwed. (Note the capital "S"). But hey, that's just me. We'll see. But even if he does pan out in 3-4 years, that still shouldn't reflect badly on the Titans. He just wasn't ready during his time here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Basically what I'm saying is that giving up on him now is too soon IMO and it would make more sense to give up on him after year 2 or 3. The more I think about it, there has to be something we don't know or don't fully appreciate behind this decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
