Tripleshot Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Which play from last night was more unbelievable - Hopkins one-handed catch that he pinned to his hammy under his leg (wiped out by a ticky-tack penalty) or Parker's ricochet catch off his own player and a defender?

stevegrab Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hard to pick, the catch by Hopkins was an amazing play and concentration by that player. The ricochet was just amazing, I saw it come out,, bounce off the defender and travel down field, thought for sure it would roll around and be a scrum for it, then it goes right to the other player. My brother texted me "I haven't seen something like that since Franco Harris" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the Hopkins catch was more unbelievable, especially since they called PI on him. He barely pushed off, if at all. Typical hand-fighting that goes on during oodles of plays every week. I own him in my "big" dynasty league. He had like 3 points prior to that play, and then 20+ after it. He's a beast. Love having him on my squad.

Probably not as good because a quality QB knows how to spread the ball around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, how many WRs put up over 1500 with a great QB? He would’ve put up the same. His 900 yard season he might of had a few more yards. His 954 yard season is the only statistical outlier. So how much “better” would people think he is if that 1 season was 1200 yards? The dudes a stud and everyone knows it. 954 yards from Brockasaurus is impressive enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think the rotation of QBs that aren't good enough to even be called "journeyman" maxed out Hopkins' potential? Imagine what Tom Brady’s legacy would look like if it weren’t for 2 unreal catches in Super Bowls? He would be 8-0 in the big game and have a perfect season. Imagine how good Cleveland could have been if Modell didn’t move them, Belicheck might have never left Imagine what Hopkins career stars would look like if he tore an ACL in that 1500 yard season. Everyone might be questioning if he’s truly elite Rob moore led the NFL in recieving in 97 with 1587 yards. With Jake Pulmer under center. He threw for 2200 yards, Kent Graham there for 1400 Having a QB throw for a low yardage total or multiple QBs doesn’t mean anything. I’m sure plenty of elite WRs overcome adversity at QB and get it done. As a disclaimer im not questioning how good Hopkins is. I am also not calling Moore Elite, I just looked up NFL leaders per season in recieving and he as the first I came up to that wasn’t Rice, Bruce, Holt or Irvin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
