Doubs Missing Practice

[Heyjoe4]

I have to believe that something happened of which we are unaware. I just can’t believe that the known facts point to this outcome. He is not known to be a diva, nor has he really shown the elite talent thus far, that often leads to it. He certainly doesn’t have the power in this situation which makes it even harder to believe he would sabotage his career in this manner.

Agreed. This is about more than snaps and his role in the O IMO. Maybe OS is right and Gluten is fishing for a veteran WR and dangling Doubs as bait - but that's just as unbelievable.

Whatever it is, it looks to be on Doubs. I don't care how good a guy is, when his attitude costs the team he's very close to the edge of a cliff. He gets this week to sort this out. With what I've heard, and mostly don't know, an apology to his teammates and the fas sees in order.

But including me, we're all kinda guessing. All I do know is that the team is much better with Doubs.

That's up to Doubs. We'll see what he's made of in terms of character.

Will he apologize like Alexander did last season or will he put himself on a victim pedestal?

Trust has been broken. Doubs has work to do.

Good point. I've gone through life willing to trust people until they give me a reason not to trust them. If the trust is broken, I'm gone.

So yeah, Doubs has a lot of work to do. At a minimum, he let his entire team down, not to mention us.

Yeah, don't mention the fans, they are unimportant in this scenario. He let the team and organization down. Could cost him money down the road too.

He’s actually really fortunate to be drafted by a team with a Top 10 QB and a young team that’s budding. We all have something to be thankful for but especially being part of this young and exciting group.
I try to give him some exception it could be temporary thing. He’s shown to be relatively humble this completely comes out of left field

I said in a post on another site that even though I'm not entirely surprised that something like this happened I was surprised that Doubs was the one. He would have been the last one I would have expected.

Exactly the approach i would’ve used.
I learned a long time ago to go to the Top but state your case of how doing it will improve the chances of Winning. Better follow through with a really good performance though.

One thing to mention about Doubs is his catch % is a pedestrian 12/20 (60%)
Reed has a higher catch % of respective targets with an impressive 17/22 (77.3%)
Wicks not so much, he’s got a very low catch rate thus far as he’s 8/22 (36.4%)

If the game plan centered around Wicks? The only one that would have a legitimate argument would be Reed

Catch percentage is not the whole picture. Love misses a throw the isolated catch percentage is held against the WR.

We had at least 3 crucial drops today. And Love made some bad throws on short balls. In fact the long bomb may have been ill advised. A better secondary picks that one. My frustration on that last drive was very irksome. 2 false starts on 1st down. We could have ran more clock and emptied ALL their timeouts. And then Love pulling it down and throwing a tipped pass. Run the ball. Run the ball. If Willis was in there the only option is if he runs or Jacob runs. 2 youngest teams in the NFL today. It showed.
