True. But think. Dupre is 3rd round this year. Comes back and gets hurt. Goes to practice squad. In any case. There is not right or wrong imo. We aren't them. I'm thankful he balled out his last few games.
Don't forget Etling had more chemistry Chark and Harris had more chemistry with Malichi. I think the benching of Harris was part of the reason Dupre's numbers dropped. Seemed like Dupre was the only receiver Harris ever looked to.
I feel like Dupre is making a mistake. He has the measurables but not the production... for big bucks he needs one more year to impress on the field.
I agree he should stay, but the flip side is he finished strong and may feel its best to cash in now rather than gamble on more next year. I wish him well.
Doesn't matter unless he learns to play with an edge. He's too soft but showed what he can become if he wants it. I don't think you can teach that but he may get by on talent alone for a couple years. Maybe it will click at some point. Not sure if returning makes much difference.
NFL DB's will know he is soft and contest every catch. A couple years and his QB will not even look in his direction if he doesn't toughen up.
Slightly off topic but what about Corey Thompson? Did he play at all and if not is he eligible for a redshirt?
