Chris harper was a preseason favorite. Hope he is not the next Bam childress...I loved that guy
How about he plays a snap in an NFL game first? This is Mark Harrison-level praise.
Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with Harper being activated, and he does lend some depth in the return game if need be.
But let's not go "stud receiver" on a guy who only made the practice squad because Reggie Wayne retired. He had a nice preseason. So did Brian Tyms last year.
In truth, Brandon Gibson's injury really hurts at this point.
I've seen flashes of great potential every time he was on the field and a ball was thrown his way. Now, granted, it was limited exposure in PS, but I saw Brady going to him time and again. I have a feeling he was not on the roster because he was the lowest common denominator amongst our receiving corp. I think if you put him up against Dobson, he'll run circles around that clown.
I thought Brian Tyms was another guy that should have been kept around instead of that Dobson jacka$$. Great speed downfield.
He had 5 catches last year. 4 were in that extended preseason game week 17. Dobson already has 12 this year in limited action AND with the yips.I thought Brian Tyms was another guy that should have been kept around instead of that Dobson jacka$$. Great speed downfield.
I sure as hell hope no one is going Adam Seward on Harper.Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with Harper being activated, and he does lend some depth in the return game if need be.

Yes- Gibson would be good right now.
Your last sentence may or may not be true, but you didn't see Brady going to Harper "time and time again". He targeted Josh Boyce more than he targeted Chris Harper.
You saw Harper get plenty of work with Garoppolo, against 2015's newest crop of Sandwich Artists.
He's fine, like I said. Average hands, doesn't separate, has a small catch radius, runs sloppy routes and plays shorter than his already short stature.
Like I said, he could be better than Dobson, because Dobson can't catch a ball clean, but there's a reason he was cut in the preseason. If he were as good as you're trying to say, he would have been on the team to start the season.
He could be pretty serviceable someday. That's hardly a "stud", as you put it.
... to expect him to be our Amari Cooper stashed on the PS all season is a little much.
Harper was on the initial 53 man roster for a very short time. Dobson looks awkward catching balls.Your last sentence may or may not be true, but you didn't see Brady going to Harper "time and time again". He targeted Josh Boyce more than he targeted Chris Harper.

I must have missed the posts by Harper's Mom, because nobody else was ever going anywhere near there.
Could he be a fill-in on the level that Austin Collie was a few years back, or maybe ewven better? I hope so. Collie obviously had way more experience, though I'm not sure that the experience gained in Indy's system helped him all that much
