Drew Sample is a Bum

Among the 23 TEs with at least 25 receptions Sample's catch % ranks 9th and his yds/target ranks 15th.   

These are not great numbers, but nothing close to "bum" status.  And if you want to complain about lack of TD receptions maybe look at the fact that the Bengals rank 26th in TD passes.  Through the first ten games of the season Burrow ranked 23rd in td passes, but not one person ever complained about that.

Why are people so obsessed with shitting on this guy?  And please don't mention some other player they could have taken if they had 20/20 hindsight like all of you.  If Metcalf was such a "can't miss" prospect them why did every other team in the league pass on him twice?

Did you type that first sentence with a straight face? Is that supposed to be a serious defense of the guy? We throw it as much as anyone in the league (something you used to downplay Burrow’s records), but despite that TWENTY other teams have a TE with more receptions than Sample? Yikes.
