So i wanna know what other people are expecting from our often ill wide reciever. My guess is 35 catches for 4 touchdowns. Doesn't break the pie mark but we can at least expect a good 435 yards.

What do you expect from the kid? For the past year+ he's had multiple surgeries and has barely been able to get on the field. No reason for him to come out and openly say he's gonna tear it up. Fans would be more disappointed if he talked himself up and flopped. He's smart for tempering expectations.

I agree, this guy so far is becoming our next Tylor Jacobs so why even try and project anything when the guy himself is trying to play down expectations. So far in the preseason rags that I have seen we are put in the cellar of the NFC East again. The main reason? JC's lack of any WR threat. I think they are right in questioning our WR corp. Moss isn't going to be able to save us anymore with such a lame group making up his "posse". Hell, I rather have the "posse" of Westbrook, Connell, and Thrash than this group!!!!!!

Kelly tore an ACL in junior high school and had arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus after his sophomore season at Oklahoma.

<grin> I definitely DO NOT want hear him to say "tear it up". Makes me cringe just hearing that.

Looking at college footage, he looked absolutely phenomenal with hands like glue. IF his knees stay patched up, he will be on highlight reels every week.
