I would ask were you dug up the drivil on Lee being great at Jag's camp but the BSPN blog is self-explanatory.

I've been up in the Jax, FL area quite a bit lately and this is all I'm hearing about from.. well just about everyone including HC Bradley. Also being the "best WR" in Jacksonville right now is nothing to write home about.

Another quick note. NCAA drop rate: Lee - 12.3%. Landry - 2.5%

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus Bradley clarified his comments about rookie receiver Marqise Lee's effort, saying the second-round pick’s effort was fine and he only failed to run hard on one route during the Jaguars’ 16-10 victory over Tampa Bay last Friday night.

Lee was confused about what he was supposed to do on a come-back route and hesitated. Bradley said Lee’s effort was fine when he was on the field.

"A couple of things that came up where he just was unsure of positioning of the defense and how he should attack the route, so it’s just a little bit of confusion on his part that we got cleared up," Bradley said following Monday’s practice. "Like I said, he is extremely focused, really, really competitive, really driven and I thought today he came out and he used those things and he learned from it and he got better. He was great."

..."I got specific," Bradley said. "That was on me. I got specific on one play where he was supposed to run a comeback. And he ran it. It was never an effort [issue], but he was more confused on how the defender was playing him so he just didn’t run it full speed because of that. But he’s got to learn from that, learn to run full speed and take it."

A rookie got confused on a single play?!?! Cut him and fire the staff who drafted him! We all know the only position in football that is allowed to struggle is right tackle.

And totally forgot to include: Media is always wrong except when they are saying something good about the Dolphins. My bad.

Finally, for those who are unaware: there is more to playing the receiver position than catching the football. After watching Wallace drop easy catches and give up on plays last year, i can see where the confusion came from though.
 
I can see Landry contributing at a level to Rishard Matthews last year as the 3rd/4th receiver. He'll probably get more TD's, but he'd need to double Matthews production from last year to that, and I don't see that happening with Gibson, Hartline, and Wallace also on the roster. Matthews probably will be as well, although I think he is a strong candidate to be traded around final cuts. Some projected him as a candidate to not be on the final 53, but I think there are plenty of teams who would love a receiver going into his third year who pursues and gains catches with the same energy that Ted Ginn used to run for the sideline.
 
vegas has odds on OROTY:
Sammy Watkins 6-1
Johnny Manziel 9-1
Mike Evans 9-1
*Any other player 9-1*
Brandon Cooks 10-1
Teddy Bridgewater 11-1
Odell Beckham Jr. 11-1
Bishop Sankey 13-1
Eric Ebron 13-1
Jace Amaro 13-1
Kelvin Benjamin 13-1
Marquise Lee 13-1
Allen Robinson 17-1
Cody Lattimer 17-1
Jordan Mathews 17-1

So Vegas doesn't think enough of Landry to put odds on him. I might take them up on the "any other player" bet though.

Touche'. I've been served. Just caught the local Jax radio over this past weekend.

In my 2nd effort, I still don't see Lee having a ROTY type of season along side Allen Hurns and Mike Brown with Henne at the helm. Just can't see them consistently moving the chains and defenses don't need to overplay Gerhart, either.

Interesting they have Beckham Jr. and Cooks below the mean.
 
No, he's at a very crowded position on this team and many will be fighting for balls to be thrown their way...with that said I do not doubt he won't end up being one of the more productive WR in this rookie class and in a year could/should end up as Tannehill's favorite target.

...So yeah, i fully expect Cooks(provided he stays healthy) to win the award. He will get the throws and sure as hell has the ability. Hes a special player, which is why some of us wanted Miami to draft him.
And while i dont expect him to win the award(based on their quarterback situation), i wouldnt be surprised if Marqise Lee(another coveted prospect who i would have loved for us to draft at 19) enters the conversation either. Hes quietly playing well in Jacksonville:

And you even quoted it. Well, "quoted it" is a bit of a misnomer as you cut off what i wrote mid-sentence, but the "2nd effort" was addressed. :lol:

If everybody stays healthy I could see Hartline, Wallace, Gibson and Matthews getting more targets than Landry this season. I think someone like Sammy Watkins will have twice as many passes thrown his way and will get a lot more media attention.

You have a much higher opinion of Gibson And Matthews than I do...I see them as average pieces easily supplanted by a talented rookie, who truly is a football player.
 
I like Landry, but he's probably going to be Tanny's 4th option at best behind Wallace, Hartline, and Clay
 
Brandin Cooks is getting this distinction
 
Whether Landry gets named Offensive Rookie of the Year or not, (and probably not due to Fins receiver circumstances), to me is less important than knowing that more than 24 GMs, whether they admit it or not, will likely be shaking their heads bemoaning not having the smarts to draft him either in the first round or at least before he went at the end of the second.
