Can Perriman be our first 1000 yard rookie receiver?

[Tenacious Faulker]

Estmations are all over the board for this kid.  The recent extended recovery for a bruised knee has raised some questions about his toughness.  But does anyone think that he can realitistically be our first 1000 yard rookier wide out?

 

 

Personally, given the offensive system and their confidence in him, I think so.  I also think he could break the rookie TD record too.  However, his extended recovery time (6 days and counting) is a bit unsettling, but could also be the coaches "bubble wrapping" him knowing Marlon Brown's back injury could take either days or months.

 

 

What do you all think?

[RayRocks]

I'm not overthinking the knee injury unless he's still not practicing by Monday.  I would assume it's a light bone bruise, not just the skin of the knee that was bruised.

 

I'd temper my expectations of Perriman to 600-700 yards.  He's still raw and not refined in his routes, so I would guess at least 30-40% of his yards will come from big plays for now.

This. Also, the Ravens have other options that are more experienced and better at this time. He may be the 4th option in the passing game. SSS, whoever the TE is and Forsett. I'll put my money on Forsett having more catches than Perrimen this year.

[757RavensFan]

Not from the training room.

[RavensFanMania]

I'd be happy with the 600 to 700 that RayRocks mentioned above, but feel he has potential for 1000 with Flacco at the helm.

[polynesian15]

I'm thinking a rookie season akin to Torrey's, health permitting of course - fingers crossed on that.

Around 40-50 recs, about 7-800 yards, 5-7 TD's. But besides stats, I just want to seem him compete for catches and flash the potential of a future #1 WR. That's more important than his rookie stats imo, especially if he's gonna miss time and reps here in the beginning.

I don't understand why anyone would question his toughess.  The decision to have him rest his knee isn't his, but the team physicians.

Also its highly cautionary seeing as it's the beginning of the season. A bone bruise is relatively minor, but if you keep working on it, it will linger all year long. 

[PerpetuallyBored74]

Steve Smith, Kamar Aiken, and Jeremy Butler will be our primary 3 WRs to start the season. Perriman will get mixed in and used for splash plays similar to how Torrey was used as a rookie. But Torrey was a starter and Perriman won't be unless there are injuries and such that open up that opportunity for him.

Keep in mind that we're now running a screen-heavy WCO that will feature the TEs and RBs considerably, so a fast but raw WR is not a great fit for our scheme, not as a starter. Aiken and Butler, however, are both good fits for our WCO with a nice combination of size, hands and toughness (for both going over the middle and blocking on screens) with enough speed that they can beat you deep.

[codizzle]

Reading flacco's comments on LFW it's almost as if he's thinking.. Man what if Torrey had jumped for the ball a few times like perriman does already?

this is what I was thinking, to questions perrimans toughness simply because hes been out a couple days is ridiculous. you got big defensive guys sitting out left and right for weeks.. are they not tough? silly.

[gabefergy]

As long as he is healthy, I think it is well within the realm of possibility. Torrey had 841 yards as a rookie, and that was in 14 games. Perriman, who I think has more talent than Torrey, should start from week 1, and Flacco is also a better QB at this point in his career. 

 

I don't know if 1,000 yards is likely, but I definitely wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

[The Mom Gene]

Reading flacco's comments on LFW it's almost as if he's thinking.. Man what if Torrey had jumped for the ball a few times like perriman does already?

I thought that as soon as we drafted this kid.  I live in East Central Florida.  The guy went to UCF, and was HUGE down here.  At the very end of the season, during the playoffs, It was Torrey's fight that immediately became a huge issue.  Not getting the toes down in the endzone, not fighting off defenders was even bigger.  I can count a couple of TD's we'd have had if he would have just fought a little harder.  Even Suggs tried to tell him...  It just wasn't there.  This kid has that.

Joe would've gotten 30 TDs and over 4000 yards last year.

That and maybe his 2nd ring.

And if Torrey could both track the ball in the air and make proper cuts more consistently, Joe would've had fewer INTs too.

 

But really, do we want to keep piling on Torrey, now that he's gone. He was a nice guy, so I can't help but feel for him. I'm sure he was kicking himself for awhile when he saw the tape of that last INT and realized he had a great chance of going up and getting it for what may have been the game winning TD (depending on if our D could keep Brady out of their end zone).

[Tru11]

he would have to become a starter sooner then later and stay injury free.

 

he wont get it as a role player .

if kelvin benjamin can hit 1k as a rookie, perriman most certainly can.

[Kid87]

That's an average of 62 yards a game. It's possible from what I'm hearing. But we shall see and know more here in the preseason.

[hawkprey]

As long as he's not out for more than a few games, absolutely. As much as I like some of our other WRs, Perriman is just a freak athlete. He'll be the starter week 1 and be targeted often. I would also bet that he leads the league in yards per catch. My guess would be 1100 this regular season.

[Inqui]

My guess is for something like 800 yards and six TDs or something to that effect, considering he'll have more competition than Torrey did as a rookie.

 

But 1000 yards wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility at all though. I'd be more surprised if Maxx Wiliams hit 600 yards tbh.

[52520Andrew]

A season similar to Torrey's rookie season would have me very happy. I won't rule out 1,000 though as Kelvin Benjamin was able to get it. Just depends how quick he can get going with us.

[Cville-Raven]

I don't think its out of the realm of possiblity although I think he probably has a decent chance to break our rookie receiving TD record

Edited August 8, 2015 by Cville-Raven

[ravensdan]

I think it's more likely he starts off with some slow games. 700-800 yards. I'd be happier if he comes up big in the playoffs with 400 yards.

...Record held by Larry Fitz with 546 in 2008.

Edited August 6, 2015 by ravensdan

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

I think Perriman will have the 2nd or 3rd best year of all the rookie receivers behind Cooper and maybe Aghalor.

Whether he starts week 1 or not he's going to be a big part of this offense and until other guys prove it SSS is going to draw all the coverage so Perriman will get his opportunities.

I remember that run.  Man that team was something.

the question is can he stay healthy to play a game?

[The Raven]

Considering Trestman seems to prefer base packages utilizing his top two receivers, his tight end, and his backs, I think Perriman will get 1000 if and only if he is the one or two receiver. If Steve plays a reduced role as speculated, and Perriman steps in at the X position as thought, then I think he gets 1000. Trestman offenses don't usually spread it to the 3 and 4 receivers. Not as much as other offenses at least.

[Tenacious Faulker]

That's tue.  I've had contusions in my knee that bleed (internal) into my ankle (bone bruise on the femoral head).  I don't remember being sidelined 7 days though - I might've, just can't recall.  My hope (obviously) is it is what they say and he's back soon.

 

I don't understand why anyone would question his toughess.  The decision to have him rest his knee isn't his, but the team physicians. 

I'm not questioning it.  I've read a few coments here and there on it but I'm a major Perriman fan (even picked the Ravens drafting him).  Basically it centers on Harbaugh saying "a day or two" then it extends 3x longer (and more).  It could perhaps be that Harbs understimated the injury, or just didn't want to tip his hand to the media if it was worse than a bruise.

 

the question is can he stay healthy to play a game?

That is something I don't think we can say just yet.  That's more of a regular season question imo IF he misses any game time.

[PerpetuallyBored74]

If he's not a starter:

 

50-60 targets

30-40 receptions

Around 18 yards per reception

 

Between 550-650 yards and 3-5 TDs.

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If he is a starter:

 

100-120 targets

70-80 receptions

Around 15 yards per reception

 

Bewteen 1,050 and 1,200 yards and 8-10 TDs.

It's a knee bruise. Ha, everyone needs to calm down.
