He only caught the ball 50% of the time it was thrown his way.
At the end of the day there is nobody on this forum who could say that Harry met the expectations they had on draft day when the selection was made. Anyone who says he did is lying point blank period.
On 24 throws. 24.
You see the play at the sideline yesterday? That was on Brady. No one catches that. Take out that one play, and his catch % goes to 54% - and there were more than that one play.
Brady completed 60.8% this year.
I was shocked they didn't take Deebo or AJ Brown, or grab Hardman later in the draft. Harry wasn't my pick - hadn't heard a peep about him until right near draft day - but I'm not going to crap all over a rookie who had no OTA with the QB in a complicated, "same-page" system, missed most of camp, and was a convenience IR when the Pats elt that they had a wealth of receivers.
I don't believe for a minute that those other "breakout" rookies would have done so here - with the possible exception of Deebo Samuel, who actually FITS what the Patriots and Brady do (and who openly said he wanted to play here).
I mean, Damian Harris is a bust? He got 3 effing plays all year (which is also what James White got his rookie year - was he a bust, too?). Players have to actually play to get up to NFL speed and improve, and is a rookie drops a pass, then is ignored for the rest of the game, well...
This team has not been kind to rookies for years now, with the exception of three positions: DL, OL, and DB.
Look, they've been successful with their strategy, so I'm only stating facts, not judgment here. That said, my eyes tell me that it's the end of the run, so a lot of these philosophies are going to have to change for a rebuild. If Saturday is Brady's last game as a Pat, are you going to be surprised?
I'm not. Watching him this year was not a pleasant experience with only a couple of exceptions.
