Njoku

Whoever said they wanted him gone ? not anyone I know of. What they wanted for him to do was to play the way he’s capable that’s all simple

Show me a post where I said he should be gone.
If anything, I said I was really high on the kid going into this season, and was disappointed that he started the season off poorly. And he did.
He's been playing much better, which is great.
But let's not let facts get in the way of one of LondonBrown's tantrums.
-
It's easier to catch when you have confidence that you could win.
It's also easier to catch when you have a QB putting the ball on the money.

He dropped some that were on the money. At the end of the day drops is usually a matter of concentration especially for players who work the middle like Njoku.
That being said, consistent QB play can’t hurt the cause

But that's the thing with Mayfield and Njoku - there's been quite a few instances where Mayfield really hasn't put the ball on the money to Njoku, and the kid has made fantastic catches to help Baker out. Njoku has really come on this season. He's very important to this team down the road.

Maybe I should amend that to say in the same area code. LOL!?

He was dropping passes in the preseason as we saw on Hard Knocks when he stayed after practice catching passes off the machine. It does seem to be a concentration issue. He catches the hard ones and he drops the ones that hit him in the hands. That seems to have gone away in the last few weeks, kinda like all the penalties and the dropped passes in general over the last 3 weeks.

Mark, that's a terrific point. I was actually going to comment on the dropped passes, and they've somehow become a non-issue. I don't know HOW, and I really don't care, LOL. I'm also really impressed with Antonio Callaway lately. That 3rd and 11 he caught on the sideline was a magical example of Baker being Baker, and a receiver excelling at his craft. That was a game-changing moment in the game, and that completion lead directly to a TD.

People don't want him gone because he's not dropping balls on the regular anymore.
It's not that difficult to comprehend.

Did people really want him 'gone'?
I know that we sometimes got down on him because he dropped really easy balls that brought on the punter.....but isn't that a normal reaction? Especially when he drops a ball in just about every game ya watch. And we've all seen the talent. He makes some really difficult catches. - It's really good that he's strung some games together. 5 targets and 5 catches against the Bengals. Really good to see!

Lol your standard response.
You were wrong again, like you were with Hyde and Chubb, yet continue to speak like some authorative figure who everyone should listen too.
You and Hue would make a good team actually.
I was wrong on Hyde and Chubb how?
I get that passive-aggressive "I told you" posts are your thing, along with storming off this board because your tender sensibilities have been hurt, but this is a new development. Are all Brits twats like you, or are you special?

Dutch... seriously STFU.
You play the Sashi card out of nowhere and it's gotten very, very old.
Drop it...

I tend to think Njoku has some leadership qualities as well. Just a few scenes from HK and a couple interviews l’ve seen, but he seems to have a confidence and presence around his teammates. Pretty cool for such a young guy. Perhaps a future team captain.

I was as tough on Njoku as anybody, but I NEVER wanted him gone. I was just tired of the drops and the occasional missed block that hurt us. He's REALLY been stepping up his play, and that diving catch he made on the laser seam pass was stunning. It was also a bad pass by the normally uber accurate Mayfield. Njoku was extremely open and Baker HAS to put that ball on him so Njoku can have the chance to run after the catch.

Who knows... ask LondonBrown, he's the guy who started this nonsense.
But don't ask him too strongly, or Tour will strike down the vengeance upon thee.

And on this one you've gone full-asshole...

...umm...to Njoku...he's got all the tools. He's big and athletic. Makes incredible catches...but those are the ones that you've got to concentrate really hard on. You have to block out everything and focus. He's just got to DO that consistently when the pass is right too him and easy to catch. I think on those, he sometimes starts looking/thinking about where he's going to run and forgets to look the ball all the way in. - Braylon Edwards used to do that...except HE wasn't looking to run, he was looking out in case someone might hit him and give him a boo-boo.
Njoku has a chance to make a big name for himself. If Baker thinks that he can rely on him, he'll get him the ball.

What's more interesting is why you feel like you need to run to LondonBrown's defense constantly...
Considering how often he gets called a troll, or a Negative Nancy, well... that must be exhausting.

You know who else I'm impressed with? Orson Charles. He's had several nice plays this year, and the guy can REALLY block. Remember the last couple years how we said that we really needed a blocking TE? Charles not only does that, but also doubles as our FB/H-Back in I-Form and other multi-back formations. He's been a nice surprise, and he's extremely physical. He'll also surprise you with a big play. Wasn't he the one that broke that big play against Oakland?
Conversely, I can't understand for the life of me why Devalve can't get in on the action. He just seems like the perfect compliment to our offense, yet the guy doesn't get a catch (or target), even when Baker throws it to 8 or 9 different receivers.

Yup. He's the current guy that you'd ask, "Does he have pictures of Dorsey cheating on his wife?" He hardly ever plays and hardly ever produces anything.
One more thing on Njoku. That TD that he got when he jumped in the air around the 5 yard line and was stopped waaay short of the goal line......that TD should go to Tretter who came in and pushed him and the pile into the end zone. Tretter gets an ATABOY for that one.

If you can get half a sack then why can't you get half a TD??

David is 22 years old.
Baker 23, Chubb 22, Calloway 21.
And they are already beating the Ravens and Bungles.
Gotta suck to be fan of those teams and see the future in front of your face.

That’s a funny one. You troll almost all my posts by mentioning Sashi Brown.
That certainly must be exhausting.
