Braddock was one of the first people yelling midget hands on the radio after Fuller was picked. He hated the pick Probably dieing inside after Fuller's first two performances
Not only after the pick, but for weeks and weeks after. I heard him just murder people on the radio that disagreed with him. It really made me not like him at all. Braddock's head swelled quickly after he started getting time on air.
I think you're right. I have a hunch that Fuller's biggest weakness is nerves. If he can up his mental game, his confidence, he may be great.
Jerry Rice and John Taylor? Reason I said that first pair is that they explicitly said they wanted speed opposite Irvin, thus they drafted Harper.

Screw the Bears, nobody is comparing their secondary to the Chiefs, you used it as an excuse as to why he had success in that match up. What's your excuse for him having over 100 yds receiving against the Chiefs?
Actually people did compare the Bears and the Chiefs when people said Fuller was going to run over the rest of the league like they ran over the Bears. If I'd wanted to talk **** about Fuller last week I'd have talked about the ugly drop or the end zone ball that Glenn knocked away. I mentioned neither. But it's good that you can tell me what I meant. Anything else I meant that I didn't know about? Did I sneak a worshipful ode to Satan in there? Maybe attack your family or something. It takes someone special to build a strawman that they then use to deceive themselves. Good luck with that.
Zierlein had Fuller as his top WR pre-draft. Don't believe me? He made all these rankings since he wrote all the draft profiles for each of these WR's. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/tracker#dt-tabs:dt-by-position/dt-by-position-input:wr http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/will-fuller?id=2555346 Hate on Braddock all you want. He's gotten it wrong so far. But LZ was right on this pick.
A lot of the so-called NFL experts think that explosive plays (plays of twenty yds or more--how many you have compared to how many you give up) are just as important in winning the turnover battle when it comes to winning games. So Fuller is "averaging" 23.4 yds per catch thru two games, which is considered EXPLOSIVE PLAYS, and yet Otto (who likes to think of himself as an NFL talent evaluator) says Fuller isn't explosive at all? Otto can you please provide the list of NFL or college teams that are paying you for your wisdom?
watching slow-mo replays of his over the shoulder attempts and it appears to me that small hands is a non-factor. it's his technique and t-rex arms that are the issue. many times he loses view of the ball because of his helmet or the ball hits his face but that's only because his t-rex arms bring his hands very close to his face. i think he can fix that with over the shoulder reps.
LOL. Generate your own definition of a word that I used - explosive - and then tell me that based on that definition I am wrong. Hilarious. It is pretty clear how I'very been using that word since back in January when I started talking about the draft. An explosive play by the team (which is not a way I ever have or would use the word) is not the same thing as an athlete with explosive change of direction. Keep 'em coming, Ahab. I'm sure you'll get that whale eventually.
Its only a matter of time before we bubble screen the hell out of teams giving up that kind of cushion.
I think its hilarious when supposed draft experts take a stand and say "so and so is going to be awful.".... because that always comes back to bite them. As opposed to the reverse situation, "so and so is going to be awesome!"... but when they bust, nobody really cares because that's the nature of any and all draft picks in all sports. They all don't make it. But going out on a limb and saying a player is guaranteed to fail is just asking for trouble (unless its a clearly obvious candidate like Manziel).
Don't get me wrong, I love the 53-yd bomb and I love that we actually go for plays like this. But on 3rd and 2, with an 11 yd cushion, that should have been a quick out route for a safe 1st down.
