What's the deal with Hartline and Gibson?

[AEGBRG]

They were both pretty much non-factors in both games. I know some of it has to do with Tannehilll's horrendous throws, but I wonder if they both have not fully recovered from their respective injuries yet. It's not as if Richard Sherman has been covering them. For this team to have any success, they need to become a bigger part of this offense quickly.

Hartline dropped a bomb that went right through his lap today. Last week he tripped over his own feet with green grass in front of him. However, he also made a couple of clutch third down conversions on short passes.

He is who he is.

I must of missed that (I turned the game off right after the muffed punt). You can only take so much.

If you would listen, some of us have been telling what the issue is.

It's a little thing called real talent. Which is missing.

Hartline has had back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons.

Sometimes it takes 2 years to fully recover from season-ending knee injuries, both physically & mentally. And some players are never the same.

Hartline & Gibson were never elite NFL WRs to begin with. So in the NFL, where they're playing against the best in the world, being off just a little bit can make a big difference.

The guy is rgiht. Anybody in the NFL will have a 1000 yard season as a starter is he is only 1 of two viable receivers on the team. Hartline really isn't anything special.

I was wondering this as well...it's almost like Gibson's not even on the field. I thought this offense was gonna spread the ball around.

Must hurt to have everything I said about Hartline in this offense come true before your eyes.

Now you have to ask, "What's up?" "Why isn't Hartline dominating? He gets single coverage??? He's the best! Why isn't he changing games?"

lol. Because he's a classically, consistently mediocre WR who will never be more than what he is right now.
