But he's a fuking WR in the NFL as eccentric as he is he was one of the best punt returners in NCAA, I don't buy for a second that he's "afraid" of getting hit. Some players feed off the physical game and actually get some kind of high off getting hit/hitting the defenders trying to tackle them. Pettis clearly isn't like that and there's nothing wrong with that.

The Rams receivers in their Greatest Show on Turf days caught the ball and pretty much fell to the ground. Marvin Harrison had a HOF career doing the same for the Colts. If you're getting open and getting the first down it doesn't matter. We all love the plays where a guy catches the ball then runs through several tackles on his way for the TD. How many of us love the plays where a guy catches the ball, gets hit - fumbles or gets injured?

Using Pettis like Anquan Boldin doesn't make sense for anyone. Making it seem like Pettis isn't very good because of that is a stretch.

He is good. He's just not a dog like your Boldin reference. The stark contrast in mindset and physicality between he and players like Garcon, Deebo and Boldin are obvious. His own comments here back it up. The film here backs it up. It seems like you're having a hard time recognizing who he is. That doesn't mean he won't be great in his X role but going forward, you can expect him to bow out as a returner, alligator-arm passes and struggle with contested catches. But like NY85 said, that's not why he was brought in. He was brought in to provide a more dynamic skill set from the slot and groom into being an X opposite of a dog like Garcon/Deebo.

No one is saying they don't know what kind of receiver he is and what his strengths are they are calling b******t on your scared, weak mindset, lack of heart/dedication/commitment/toughness comments lol. It's pretty clear what people are challenging you on, but you seem move the goalposts to make it appear they are challenging you on something different or that you said something different.

LOL. Perfect gif. My bad. Finkle is Einhorn. Einhorn is Finkle. Pettis is Boldin. Boldin IS Pettis!

Dante Pettis has freaky feet; his releases & route-running ability are both pretty spectacular. pic.twitter.com/GDV2VhZKAR

It makes sense though given where he lined up and played in college. Outside the numbers with less room to work, avoiding being run out of bounds by CB's, timing of throws outside the numbers vs. inside, less room to navigate, etc. I would imagine most would feel more comfortable inside esp. when lining up without press, etc. I think top speed helps outside like with Goodwin and physicality (Deebo).

Take this route right here and stick it outside the numbers. It would be a SE running a slant(he's on the LOS). That is freaking sick get off and footwork. This SOB can play any WR position. Again the outside the number/inside the number is a bogus narrative.

College is a different animal though. The boundary side is smaller because the hash marks are wider.

Not that that stat exists but I'd love to see that split. I do think it's a different game and skill set outside especially at the NFL level. But as to Pettis himself, there's a reason Kyle wanted him to learn all 3 positions. He's just getting started!

9 TD's as returner...haha...won't use. #scared

How is Pettis scared of returning kicks or punts?

Well that s**t can't be real.....he caught a TD outside the numbers. I thought you had to be 6'7" to do that kinda s**t.

Seriously though, this f**ker is a stud. It's gonna be fun watching him moved around all the formations.

He does kinda shy away from the head taps from Glinch #p***y
