The CFL?! What’s that aboot?
They sure do.
It’s canada, so not as many Army bases interrupting his drunk driving.
It was a sarcastic comment. Although, I guess I wouldn't be surprised if Hooper gets 550 yards and at least one TD, thus beating Jones/Reynolds total production.
Nothing wrong with being excited or hopeful for a guy. I was cheering for him too. Just like I cheered for Tre McBride and Jonnu Smith.
But the reality is all 3 of those players were not as good as some fans thought.
Jonnu’s numbers are very pedestrian for a TE. The man has never eclipsed 500 yards or 50 catches. Yet he is viewed as this great TE. He is pretty average, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I just don’t understand the love affair for him.
Calling someone overrated or overhyped doesn’t mean they are a bad player or person. Again, I root for anyone in the two tone blue and hope they all become the best player in the league at their position.
But the amount of hype Jonnu Smith gets for a very average amount of production is wild to me. Tommie Campbell certainly never got the hype Jonnu does and neither did Tre.
To be fair, those people likely enjoy winning it all. Which fans of this franchise have not ever experienced. So I give the
hyper-gripers a pass on that. I thought we had the best chance ever this past season. Then PBS Tannehill did the one thing you can't do.
I think it’s because he came up with some big catches periodically and that’s what sticks in people’s minds.
The important thing here is that Hooper is a significant upgrade over Firkser as TE1 (last years offseason intention).
Sure but so did Corey Davis and it’s a vastly different opinion on him lol
Davis actually had some decent numbers. His injuries definitely hampered his potential, but there were games when Brown disappeared and Davis led the way. But, people remember what they want to remember and the big catches with Jonnu are what stick - rightly or wrongly.
Exactly why I think he’s the most overrated player in our franchise history. Not nearly as good as people think.
This topic could be its own thread, titans have a LOT of fan over rated players.
I think Jonnu's hype was more about his potential. He flashed some nice receiving skills and run after the catch abilities. He was supposed to be the next Delanie Walker...but after Walker the offense kind of moved away from force feeding the TE (thankfully).
Realistically, a TE doesn't have to have 1k yards and 10 TDs to be considered good either.

From all the reporting going on - it seems as if there was no better fit in the league for the Titans scheme than Woods. Not to mention everyone on the Rams social media page are heart-broken. Great teammate seems like even if he doesn’t perform to the level of WR2 #s - he’s a great leader, fit, teammate etc

Yeah, again, I’m not saying Jonnu isn’t good. He is. But he’s incredibly overrated.
PFT has still not reported the Hooper signing, I find that odd they do not miss much, it any signings.
I was thinking the same thing. Haven't seen anything about this signing except for here.
