JJAW can't play football. 

Eliot Shorr-Parks could run onto the field on Sunday and have as much impact on the game as JJAW.

Well, you missed 'high motor'

No he didn't, not with JJAW......

JJAW deserves to be on the field over Hightower. I hope he gets looks this week.

Not saying he IS high-motor, but that's one of Howie's typical criteria.

How does he "deserve” anything? In 17 career games he has 10 catches. 
 

BTW, he had 28 snaps last week compared to Hightower’s 27. You probably just thought he played less because he can’t get open to get any targets. 

Pulling for the guy but man that dude in Seattle 😞

He played mostly on rushing downs because our rookies can’t block. Go watch again.

I watched it live, unfortunately, no need to watch again. Just like I’ve watched him suck a** for the prior 16 games he played. 
 

He has done NOTHING to "deserve” playing time over anybody.

Hightower showed nothing too. JJAW at least brings a different element and can block.

The problem I think for JJAW is that he's the kind of WR that Wentz has to really trust. He's a receiver who's going to use his body and his physicality to win battles and I'm just not sure Wentz is going to trust him.

He also played mostly on rushing downs because he can't contribute to the passing game.

I think he has his trust in the redzone based on snippets from training camp and also Wentz was looking his way on that Ertz TD as his first read option.

Maybe....maybe not . I just know Hightower was a pain last week moreso than JJAW.

TC and games are different though. I know that's really obvious but zero targets? Says a lot.

Hightower was in his first career game as a rookie. We have 17 games worth of JJAW sucking a**. How about giving Hightower more than 1 before deciding that JJAW somehow "deserves” snaps over him?

Like I said, we have plenty of speed now, JJAW would bring a different element. Plus he can block lol.

Do we?

Desean is more of a hologram than a WR.  Reagor is still learning.  I'd say the offense could use another speed WR.

JJAWs element is already there by virtue of having 2 TE's on the field for 60% of the snaps.  We also have Ward as an underneath weapon who barely gets open.

Not sure what element JJAW brings...

Reagor and DeSean showed the ability to get open week one. Wentz just missed a couple throws or the OL just couldn't hold up. JJAW brings size. He's supposed to be the jumpball, contested catch guy that Alshon is. We haven't seen it from him yet (just like we haven't seen downfield ability from Hightower yet) but that's what he's supposed to be.

Not taking him is a fireable offense.  

Slow receiver who can't run routes or catch the ball...but at least he's different and can block? 

Just use an extra TE if all you're gonna get out of a WR is run blocking.

Funny you mention that...that's exactly what they did last year when they put their udfa TE out at WR over JJAW.

I think they were scared about his neck injury. He'd probably be paralyzed by now here with our luck in health. Also its easy to say that now that we have seen some results.

well let’s see: 

-“Looks great in camp” ✅

-high character ✅

-low upside/ceiling ✅

-cant sniff the field and when he does he’s invisible ✅

 

This kid checks all the boxes for the annual howie roseman special. 

Forsure! Character off the charts! One of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Even though he can't play it is hard to mad at this guy. This is all part of Howie's plan.

As far as I am concerned Jalen Reagor's one catch for 55 yards has already outdone everything Whiteside has done during his time with the team.

Thought I saw JJaw In this video but as it turns out it’s just this guy throwing bombs to himself.
