lol no. He’s at 647 yards 3 touchdowns on a dysfunctional team.
Yeah, I'm actually encouraged by what him and Caleb have done in this environment. Don't think you can even have a true evaluation of most of the players at this point.

I'm not sure why ppl keep talking about targets. Odunze was 33rd in the league (at the start of today) for what was supposedly a 4th option. He's seeing plenty of action.

Wouldn't you think defenses were focusing on Moore and Allen, and Odunze could have used that to his advantage?

And Odunze's best physical asset from the combine was he could jump outta the gym. Where are all these jump-balls in the endzone for a TD?

Of course he has a bunch of targets, the Bears had 465 attempts coming into this game. His target share is 19% which is hardly elite.

That’s great and all but it doesn’t address his issues
Yeah usually any issues a rookie has will get addressed in the offseason. They either develop or they dont but my point is he has played fine despite his issues.

I mean he has basically the same number of yards as generational WR MHJ. People need to relax.

I voted No. He has to contend with 2 other WRs for touches. The more I've looked at the season, the more I think trading for Keenan was a mistake. I understand the original thought process - having Kennan as a safety blanket for Caleb, however why spent a high first for Rome then? Odunze should have been getting more touches, to build him into the offense and having Caleb more accustomed to Rome's tendencies.

Romes a beast, would have 1k+ yards playing with a vet this year.

Not his fault he got drafted by the burrs

This isn’t even about touches or yards. It’s about his other issues that aren’t dependent on touches, targets or yards

You know. I was in the same thinking as you about Allen. But honestly I’ve changed my mind. He seems more like he wants to help/ be friendly to the rookie QB. DJ has been the opposite. Maybe due to his Debo role? DJ has turned me off this year from thinking he’s a class guy. **** you Walsron and the misery you brought here.

once, I didn't suggest otherwise, just said if he keeps doing it, I know reading comprehension is tough
Exactly my point. That doesn’t happen often. Your post was pointless. Even if it did happen again, they aren’t going to feeding the ball to a top 10 pick.

Please learn proper sentence structure.

Yeah man, i too now hate the nicest guy on the team because of that one time he got off the field when he hurt his ankle while caleb was playing "how many circles can i spin in before i overthrow my WRs".

It has nothing to do with that. He seems disinterested to me. Again. I said maybe it has to do with how they are using him. I don’t know. But he signed a big contract, so try and make your ROOKIE QB comfortable.
