Comparing him vs McCarron is unrealistic. Binns was a UDFA, McCarron was not.
The guy was playing very well as a Rookie WR, yes he had some up and downs. Hawkins emerged as our slot and made Binns 2nd string. He was waived because Kyle Cook was coming off of PUP. Claimed by Miami, finished out as well as he could considering he didn't know the offense, then the next year tore his ACL and MCL before the season started. Then at the end of the year was cut by Miami. Now he's with the Chiefs and hopefully he will find his way back to the field this year.
McCarron has had time to learn the playbook and is now going into his 2nd year. He was also ranked much higher that where he was drafted at, he fell due to his shoulder injury.
Anyone that thinks that a UDFA WR can come in and take over is really delusional, WR's drafted in the first 2 round can barely do that.
It isn't unrealistic.
It's comparing the absurd hype two players who had never taken a meaningful NFL snap before received. It's completely fair.
People get on Binns because he sucked. He wasn't good. He wasn't playing very well. And it wasn't his rookie year.
If you are going to say people got it wrong, make sure you got it right at least.
200 yards and 1 TD is very well now? Good grief.
