This is basically his first year since he couldn't really practice last year and didn't play. I think everyone considered him very raw when he was drafted. He'll need some time. It's not like he's going anywhere. 

Yea,  I'm on his side and am. Willing to. Be patient.   

[BmoreRavens732]

IMO I think he's still adjusting to how fast the game is. I know he had similar problems in college but most receivers get over it when transitioning to the pros. I bet by the bye week or so he will get it together and start molding into what we know he can be.

Kid's not a bust; the whole team is a steaming pile at the moment.  Maybe once Joe and the OL get their collective STUFF together, we'll see Perriman look a bit more comfortable out there.  I'm supremely unhappy with his drops but he's not the only one looking dumb out there right now.

[frozen joe flacco fan]

Its too early to call him a bust but at the rate he's going he'll never have one in Canton! I think he'll be fine. It is my understanding that Raymond Berry of our beloved Baltimore Colts dropped three passes in his entire NFL career. If that is not the case, I stand corrected.

No way in hell the guy has 4.2 speed unless every CB he's squared up against does as well

That yet has to translate to where it counts with a ball in his hands

He's gotten behind very good DBs, on an almost once per game basis.

Speed and getting the ball in your hands have nothing to do with each other, or are you suggesting Bolt is the best WR of all time?

Well considering he's had 2 years of doing nothing, he should know the playbook inside and out and should know every single corner he lines up against tendencies. And still doesn't get open enough considering 1st round status. 

[gtalk12]

do some of you even understand how this stuff works? you want to label a WR after 6 games a bust? Really?

 

either you rely on the box score for info or you aren't watching the games. the man can make plays that NO player currently on our offense can make. he makes mistakes, dude is still a rookie smh

"He's gotten behind very good DBs" What does that mean?

Whom is Bolt?

Olympic track star, fastest 100 and 200 meter in the world.

Im frustrated with Perriman's awful drops as well but in the Redskins game he got open deep twice. Didn't catch either.

So clearly Kevin white is a bust.

Well, that's not overblowing things, that is just people's ignorance shining through. I mean seriously, how simple minded do you have to be to call someone a bust after six games?

Dear god...I just read through this thread....smh

He's had 2 years off meaning he hasn't gotten chemistry with the qb or learned the timing and speed of the NFL. Hell he's just now getting into game shape when before he was in rehab shape.

He also can do all the film study in the world but that doesnt help if you've never played at the NFL level before because you don't understand how to work those tendencies properly. 

This is a seriously silly post.

Probably, was an odd prospect anyway, he's STILL injuried too.

Im just willing to give more time, but I don't think we draft wrs in the 1st to begin with

shame that in those 2 years he hasn't done crap to improve his hands. I wouldn't label him a bust yet but for the love of god, fix your freaking hands.

[Rav'n Maniac]

I found an old article that I felt was pertinent to this thread. I originally linked it in the other Perriman thread. Here is a excerpt from it.

 

"Twenty-one years ago this week, Bill Walsh stood before the skeptical Bay Area media and defended a controversial decision. He told them that the 49ers' troubled rookie wide receiver would remain a starter despite several bad performances.

The rookie's name was Jerry Rice.

The 49ers, fresh off a victory in Super Bowl XIX, were 6-5 and fighting for their playoff lives. Joe Montana's passing numbers were off. Rice, the team's top draft pick, had 26 receptions in 11 games, but he also dropped 10 balls, some of them at the worst possible times. He was coming off a game in which he dropped two passes, fumbled once, and caught just one pass. Niners fans booed the rookie; local columnists made him the butt of jokes."

It takes a heck of a lot more than 6 games to determine someone's value in this league.

this thread has the potential to reach page 10.

would be nice to have something to read after i wake up

 Perrimans gonna be a great receiver next year. Mark my words.

[TurkishRaven]

He had some good catches and some bad drops. It's not like he dropped everything. He is basically a rookie this year. I would not call any rookie a bust yet. 

 

Other than him, Lewis, Stanley and Young were amazing so far. Legit starters. Judon, Moore, Perriman and Pierce have the potential to be starters as well. 

 

We don't know what Correa and Kaufusi will bring. 

I don't know why our fanbase is like this. I feel like there are some Ravens fans who want this team to fail. 

[RavensDieHard21]

He needs time and yes his drops are concerning, but something that cannot be shaken? no. His explosiveness gives us an ideal deep threat duo with Wallace. Those penalties alone are worth the same as if he had caught the ball. That 41 yard catch was just a flash of potential. 

[Maryland]

I mean, even if he struggles with drops his whole career, that doesn't mean he cannot be anything more than a bust. Demaryius Thomas and Kelvin Benjamin have high drop-rates, but I don't think anyone would consider them busts.

Not only are they not busts, but they'd easily be the top receivers if either played for Baltimore. If Perriman can be as good as Thomas, I'll happily take that.

I think he'll be more Benjamin than Thomas.

[Jacquouille]

No one mentionned the fact that he was a project from the beginning, had no training camp, yet should produce WR1 numbers according to some...

You said his speed doesnt translate, and then used catching the ball as evidence for this supposed lack of speed.

And getting behind DBs means he's running past them, or you know, running faster than they are. He burned Josh Norman twice. He got deep on DRC twice. He was behind Haden several times and was under thrown. He burned Stephon Gillmore.

His speed is showing up. You dont get behind DBs by running slower than they are. His ability to get behind or overtop of DBs is a way to measure if his speed is showing up. Whether he ends up catching those passes... or even gets targeted has zero, ZERO to do with his speed.

And Bolt is Usain Bolt - the world's fastest man. Since you were equating speed with catching the ball, it would only stand to reason that the measured fastest man in the world would also be a great receiver, since being fast and catching the ball are the same thing.

It's obvious that a lot of people on these forums don't watch any football outside of the Ravens games.
