He's played in 5 games so far, targeted 11 times and has a total of 5 catches for 50 total yards and half of all those yards came on 1 catch. He also has zero TDs.
So that's 10 yards a game half of which came on 1 catch. Am I missing something? Is he that great of a downfield blocker?
Now I really like him as a person....great guy...and I understand that he has great chemistry with TB, but at some point that chemistry has to translate into results. His performance averages are worse than even Ochocinco's pathetic display last year.
According to Sportstrack, Branch is making $1.32 million (including bonuses). Is he really worth that kind of money given his results?
Right now, we have Salas on the practice squad. We thought enough of him to trade a late round draft pick on him and increase his salary to $465k so he wouldn't be scooped up from our practice squad. So if we think that much of him, why not give him a shot? Could he possibly do worse than 10 yards per game on 2 targets?
Why not save Branch's salary against the cap and give this kid a chance? I can't imagine he could do any worse.
