Seeing his pre draft highlites, I recall he was more impressive making those sticky grabs then being a true deep threat....and now this seems to be in question?? WTF, I hope he figures it out soon. someone said he has the "yips" ...I hope thats all it is.  How are the other high pick WRs doing? Waddle, Smith?  I liked Waddle, he had the jets we needed and I thought good hands too.

What he is, is a little rusty, a rookie trying to do to much looking uphill before the catch, and a receiver catching balls from a QB who he is not used to throwing to him in practice. Might want to give him a minute before labeling him a bust, a John Ross, or calling him soft. Geeze.

What's sillier: Pointing out a bad performance or White Knighting the bad performance based on nothing but results as an amateur 2 years ago?

The exact same reasoning I use for being excited by an unheralded draft choice such as D. Smith. 

I see better than I hear

It is far too early to call JaMaar a "bust" and anyone who does so at this point is clueless. We all hope (well except 1 or 2) that JaMarr shines and I think he will (although I've always contended Tee will be WR#1) but he's struggling now.

This picture says enough. Look at his hands. Chase is reacting to the ball as if he doesn't know where it's going to be placed and isn't attacking it with confidence. All three drops had at least one hand with palm up.

It's rust and distrust. Both are fixable. pic.twitter.com/qSpc2O7d8o

For those asking what it should look like...
Your palms face the ball when you're catching a pass like this (facing the QB).
Palms are facing the sky when you're catching a low pass or a ball over your shoulder (back to QB). pic.twitter.com/jeckWjnckN

I wouldn't trust that qb to not do that again, and once Washington's backups were in fighting for jobs there would be no pulling back from free hits. Letting Chase stay in to work on his head game would have been nice but very risky imo.
