He was absolute fucking trash. He's worse than you remember. Dude playing like 75% of the snaps until he got dialed back his last year here and couldn't muster over 264 yards, 13 1st downs, and 3 TDs. Andy really tried to give him an opportunity to break out, but he regressed to absolute trash. He was a decent 3/4 option his 4th and 5th year here, but didn't do much before that and was shit after that.
He had a bunch of talent, but went to shit. [Reply]

Uh... Where are you getting these numbers from? [Reply]
He actually had a decent season for the Rams this last year. Had a 2 or 3 game run when Kupp was hurt where he put up some solid numbers and looked good. Definitely an upgrade over Van Jefferson. [Reply]
He was a good athlete and he was alert in scramble drills, which brought him value. Obviously he was missing some factor that could elevate him into the starting lineup, or the guys in front of him had too much talent. But he's had a longer NFL career than most.
He caught Patrick's first game pass ever if I remember right, and he caught Patrick's 50 TD/5,000 yard pass, so I have fond memories of him. And he'll give us "running backwards" jokes for the rest of our lives, so we'll always remember him. [Reply]

For a guy who was mostly a 4th option in this offense, I'll take it.
Yep, my expectations were pretty low with him. I would take him over Toney and Skyy in a heartbeat. MVS balls out in the playoffs so he barely gets off the hook. [Reply]
When he threw snowballs before the Broncos game at Arrowhead, Demarcus definitely was more Jackson than Patrick as far as form goes.
As far as football goes, the most impressive thing about Demarcus was how many iconic Mahomes plays he was a part of, despite being a mid WR. Remarkable highlight reel (courtesy of Mahomes mostly), unremarkable wideout. But that is enough to remember fondly.
