Reports out of camp are that Boutte is looking even better than last year and Brown and Doubs have yet to find the real rhythm and chemistry with Maye.
Pop is looking pretty good too and I think it's clear that it takes time for the WR/QB chemistry to develop in this offense.
Its one thing to know the play book and understand the option routes, its another to learn to be exactly where the QB anticipates with the right body position and leverage.
Going into the season many, myself included, appreciated Boutte but felt that Doubs and AJB are upgrades at the position and that Boutte isn't much of a separator and was benefiting from Maye's insane deep ball accuracy. I think this camp is proving that, while not a separator, Boutte knows exactly how to position himself in a way that Maye likes and can predict, thereby enabling Maye's deep ball game. He's a big part of the equation.
Hopefully our new receivers can build that rapor with Maye as well, and if they do, we can be right back to who is the odd man out debate...but it might take time.
