My opinion on Waddle from the stands

[Bumrush]

I know it's early and I know it's hard to assess a player in light pads but I'll give it a go.

Waddle commands an immediate presence on the field. He walks around with a look of supreme confidence and is engaged at all times.

His quickness is obvious the second you see him break the LOS. Dude is fast.

His fluidity and route running is smooth and flawless. That coupled with his speed will make him an impossible cover.

I don't say this lightly but Waddle already looks like the best player on offense. He's got that superstar swag on the field and really stands above his peers on the practice field. Dude seems to be oozing talent and enthusiasm.

We may have Tyreek 2.0 in Miami and Tua is going to be elevated because of it.

I think he will be better than Tyreek Hill

I think we may need to have six receivers every Sunday and 2-3 guys stashed away on the practice squad. We have some depth and talent, but almost every one of our receivers has an injury history. One of the better traits of this offense and Tua is that one guy is not the centerpiece of the offense.

But but but Wilson is out performing him! Omar said so!

Hope so......

Hill is a great player, deserving of the accolades, but I don't underestimate the Andy Reid factor here, as far as schemes, and playcalling to put all his weapons in a position to succeed.

We need that, as well as the individual talent aspect.

plus he gets to have Mahomie tossing him the rock.

Before his injury Wilson was leading the league in YAC, ahead of Tyreek Hill. A healthy Wilson is potentially another Hill for us. And IMO Waddle will be better than Hill eventually. I don't know that it will happen this season, but he has the talent to be a better all-around WR. Regardless of when it happens, I see a ton of potential big plays from Wilson and Waddle this season. And that's without even mentioning Fuller, who IMO last season had developed into a true #1 before the suspension. W/o that suspension many would be listing Fuller among the top 10 WRs in the league right now. He was on his way to having a top 10 season last year.

Crazy times.

I have always supported Wilson and the idea that he was on the roster bubble was kind of ridiculous given how he performed when healthy.

Wilson, Waddle and Fuller. The three amigos that can call take it to the house on any given play.

He has averaged 32 catches, 381 yards and 2 TDs (receiving) a season over his 6 years playing. I expect Wilson to make the team as he is a reliable veteran WR when healthy. But, my expectations for him are in-line with Williams; I just hope they can play out the season healthy. Both have struggled to do so in their time in Miami.

Great if Wilson is outperforming Waddle after 4 practices. As a veteran WR he needs to come in and perform so he can remind the coaching staff why they need to keep him over the younger WR’s on the roster.
Waddle will end up being the better WR over the course of his career but right now Wilson is definitely one of the top 3 or 4 WR’s on the roster and he needs to be part of the final 53 when the season begins.

 

[Finsfan1984]

It’s amazing how we go from a crappy WR room last year, to the “who the hell well gona cut” WR room this year. It’s def gona be interesting to see who sticks and why.

 

[ANUFan]

I think we’re all interested to see how all of this turns out. Injuries injuries is going to play the biggest role on offense.

The Dolphins really didn’t have a crappy WR room when 2020 began. Then Wilson and Hurns opted out because of the virus. Williams was injured and went on IR and missed most of the season. Parker started the 2020 season playing well and then struggled over the latter part of the season with more leg issues.
Grant was an okay 5th WR going into the year but moved up the depth chart with the loss of Wilson, Hurns and Williams.

As usual Grant was injured once he was forced to play more often at the WR position and then they had to rely on their younger WR’s who had started the year on the practice squad.

Bowden who started the year as the 6th WR on the roster developed into a decent WR over the last month of the season but will struggle to make the team this year because of the additions of Fuller, Waddle, and the return of Wilson.

The 2020 WR corp ended up being one of the worst in the NFL because of injuries and opt outs bput at the beginning of the year in 2020 and before the virus, the group didn’t look that bad on paper.

That's some high praise for someone who hasn't played a down in the NFL, hopefully we can at least use him like the Chiefs use Hill and take full advantage of all of Waddle's attributes. It's always a shame when coaching, game plans, and talent aren't a good fit with each other. I have confidence Flo will maximize Waddle's potential.
