Thoughts on Eric Ebron.........

[gvsulaker82]

Last I heard he was your starting tight end mike.

 

[Kreton]

If you see him, let me know. Last I heard, outside of teams game planning to stop him, he was developing.

Ebron has decided not to play this Sunday so the Saints will have a fighting chance. Due to his incredible skills having him on the field creates too much of a mismatch for opposing teams.

 

[Dr. Evil-er]

WHO IS THIS EBRON GUY?? DOES HE PLAY FOR THE LIONS?? QUIT SPEAKING IN RIDDLES. I'VE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS DUDE!!

Ebron is the guy with the football whizzing by his helmet before he even turns his head around.

Sorry -- I thought it was only fitting to bump this thread after he was such a game changer for us Sunday

 

[broncosmitty]

I actually grabbed my phone while the ball was in the air heading in his direction. He'd beat coverage and was about to make the biggest play of the day. And i was gonna share my joy with the board.

Then, he didn't. And I was glad I didn't have the chance to start him in any fantasy leagues. Cuz I would have.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

My TE situation is so bad in my one league, I made that mistake. Over the last 4 weeks, I've started Charles Clay, Scott Chandler, Zach Ertz, Kyle Rudolph.

Usually it is my defense that I am adding and dropping each week -- This year, after making the mistake of drafting Vernon Davis -- it has been the TE.

 

[broncosmitty]

I drafted Davis in my money league too. Dude has been nothing but garbage since Harbaugh went with Klinger over Smith. Not sure why I went and did that.

I kept Rudolph in one league and traded for him in another. Not my best year TE wise.

(Also have BP in a league without traded or waiver adds, I suck real bad in that league.)

 

[LPinSLC]

I can't wait until Ebron proves us all wrong. I mean it, I can't wait. Can we have a draft do-over?

 

[Thruthefog]

The Edsel of tight ends.

 

[broncosmitty]

Edsel's best year was its first.

That's scary.

I'd like nothing more than for Ebron to prove us wrong. As for now, he is what we thought he is... has some speed, but can't get open, runs questionable routes, drops passes, and can't block worth a shit.

He sure is not going to get "let off the hook" here.

Sunday was the first time I had a chance to watch him and was not impressed. The Pats were rumored to be very interested in him. Glad they didn't have the chance.

He is developing. Give him time. We can't expect him to make circus catches like the one that hit him in the chest or the one that whizzed by his helmet when he didn't even look for the ball.

I said from the time we drafted him -- I would love to be wrong about him. So far though -- I haven't been.

There is always next year.

 

[Old Lion]

He definitely needs to be better. He is only turning 21 though. Most TEs are not in the NFL until they are 22 or even 23. Still if next year he is not a contributor then we may need to look elsewhere.

Personally I would rather have a FB in there instead. I would also rather have Broyles in rather than Fuller most of the time. Move Ross outside.

I also think this scheme is dogshit. Have I mentioned that before? Like we took the Saints offense and then overcomplicated it with a bunch of nonsense reads for every player. Everyone is running around without a clue.

I'd like nothing more than for Ebron to prove us wrong. As for now, he is what we thought he is... has some speed, but can't get open, runs questionable routes, drops passes, and can't block worth a shit, and not worth the tenth pick in the draft, not then, not now, not ever.

Its not ebrons fault mayhew was stupid enough to draft him tenth..
