I feel like I am taking a wait and see approach to this. Could be Jonas Gray or Mike Cloud all over again, too. Don't get me wrong, I would take a couple games like that from Reagor.

I think the BEST case scenario for this year would be someone like Chris Hogan. A speedy guy who isn't going to be a volume catcher but can make 2-3 big catches in a game to help move the chains. Hogan was never one of the top options on teams that had Gronk, Edelman, Amendola, and even guys like LaFell (did they overlap?), but he was reliable and had enough speed to create separation on crucial plays. Again, long way to go before he's even that, but I can see a realistic path for Reagor to that kind of role.

Called this on Tuesday in the 10/24 thread, figured when they cut Cunningham it'd be to replace him with Reagor since Reagor was out of elevations, and putting Cunningham on the PS again would reset his elevation eligibility counter back to 3. Plus, Bill and BOB just seem to like Reagor in general.

It has happened many times Guys flames out somewhere else and turns out decent else where that's a break we need. Reagor was open many times last game really seems like he's clicking with BOB's Offense. He might be ahead of Both Parker and Thornton not a very hard thing to do but still says something. I love this move and hope it pays off for us.

Yess your Starting days are numbered Parker.

I think this move have a lot to do with the ineffectiveness of both Juju and Parker maybe Thornton too. K Boutte just needs to keep practicing and learn the Playbook his opportunities will come injuries are a part of this game.

I called this a month ago and was laughed at.

I was one of the ones who didn't expect anything from Reagor, so if he keeps getting better I'll gladly admit to being wrong.

Crazy what fast WRs who can get open can do.
Who would have thought that would have been the winning lineup.
Oh yeah this guy.

Good video on Reagor:

I can see why BOB likes Reagor he runs those tough over the middle Routes we like our Receivers to run. Fifth Year Breakout?? He was taken a pick before Justin Jefferson.

Just visually it seemed like guys were separating much better. Juju and Parker were rarely getting separation and teams were doubling Bourne.

I definitely can see an expanded role for him. As he is a talented player that just hasn't lived up to his draft potential. Seeing him run 1 slant has been more impressive than anything Parker has done this season.

 

[Ross12]

Mac definitely has a little bit of extend-the-play creativity in him, but if he goes too far down that road he goes out of control. That's how the pick sixes happen. It makes sense to try to have him stay in his lane and focus on the quick release and standing in the pocket for a little while, and then see if they can let him off the leash a bit later in the season.
