I feel like Gibbs got a big boost because he was given plenty of opportunity, and guess what, now we know we have one more serious weapon. I want Jamo to get a shot to be the man for a game.

Why force it to a guy when others on the team have proven more reliable? I want him to succeed, but unless he gets open and hangs onto the ball, why target him over Saint, Sam, etc?
Fr fr. We are a winning team now and winning is top priority. We can’t give Jamo 10 damn targets after he just went 0 for 6 on targets just a couple weeks ago. Im sorry. He needs to prove himself with the opportunities given
And now DPJ
Idk. Jamo is my go to receiver on madden. 😂
Precisely. He needs to prove it as much as the others have been to rake targets from them
I completely agree with you. Clearly the Lions made a mistake drafting him as high as they did. Most coaches /GMs can’t admit a mistake. So they try to “make it work”
But what I appreciate about this organization is they realized that they overvalued Jamo and they’ve made other plans.Also they aren’t going to try to force it to Jamo just to prove they made the right draft pick.
I don’t think they overvalued Jamo, dude has had terrible luck all around. He needs reps… If he’s not going to get them I’m sure he’ll be an All-star somewhere else.
Thank you. This is a great way to describe it. There’s a big portion of this sub that feels like you’re attacking Holmes when you aren’t happy with JAMOs production. Holmes can still be great and regret the JAMO pick.
Right! This isn’t Baseball where there’s 150+ games to test out players and give them a go.
Every week matters
Counter point.
Some players need some attention like this to help get them acclimated and/or boost their confidence and help them be a bigger impact in the future. If you NEVER do this you run the risk of limiting a highly skilled weapon for the future that we might need for big games.
If there is a defense to do it against it would be this one. They are a great offense and a bad defensive team. We have the ability to move the ball on these guys. If we take a play or two early on to call his number and draw up something special it has the potential to help us in the long term with limited risk in the short term. Also if it works out and JAMO goes off in this game it also helps you win this game.
Seems to me like it is well worth the risk so long as you don’t force it too much and sacrifice the game as a result.
If you’re right—and you might be!—I’d rather wait until our next game (home vs Bears) to get him bonus reps
