Anyone else extremely underwhelmed with Bryant?

Well since Goodell only fully reinstated him just before the last pre-season game it's basically been a trial by fire for him getting back into the swing of the game after a year long suspension. I certainly think he has a way to go before getting back into the swing of things!
 
He's a one trick pony, and he's not nearly as good at the trick as Wallace was. If he's not wide open, he's useless.
 
He lacks quickness. He’s fast straight forward but you need to be quick within a short distance to be a good WR. I don’t see it.

That's exactly it. He's basically the same player as DHB. Keep him in front of you, and he won't do much damage.
 
He's definitely NOT a one trick pony like Wallace was as he runs many other routes and gets open. But, I don't think they are using him correctly. Sure, you want him to be able to mix up his routes and he does but they do it too much. When they go 3 or 4 wide, he is your best deep option. Why do you constantly run him underneath? He should be going long 3/4 of the time in those situations to take the top off the coverage. Isn't that the purpose of having a speedster out there? If he is single covered, he should be going deep.

Bring Rogers back next week so you have more options underneath and let him go deep.

If you watch his highlights from the 2015 season, you'll notice Bryant can actually be extremely quick and shifty. His issue is that he doesn't have a clue how to run routes.
 
All of his catches today were underneath within 10 yards of the line. He was targeted 8 times and had 5 catches. 2 of the missed targets were deep balls over thrown by Ben. Bryant had a step on the one play but was tight with the DB on the other. If the ball was on target on those, at least he would have had a chance to go up and fight for them.
 
He doesn't get the yards after the catch like AR does, but then again who does.
 
It’s simple. They need to start using him properly. It’ll fix all their woes.
 
What happened to all the supposed strength and 25 pounds of muscle he gained," he goes down quicker than a truck stop ho, he and Jesse James the least physical TE in the NFL.

Against a Raiders team without Carr...shocking

Second, Wallace is so great that both the Vikes and Dolphins couldn't wait to get rid of him.

yet he is destroying what Bryant has done and he is doing it with a horrible Ravens offense.

I have a broken watch that gets it right twice a day...also have a blind squirrel in the yard that I see with a nut in his mouth every so often too.
 
I have a feeling Bryant is getting open, Ben's just missing him.
 
I'm sure Ben is missing more than his fair share of passes, but there were more than a few occasions where the receivers were blanketed today.
 
Bryant isn't the same player before his suspension. He lost a step.

Bell isn't the same player, he is still working to get back there.

Ben isn't the same player, but the rest of the O isn't helping him, or doing him any favors. Outside of reliable Antonio.

So much wrong with this O, for me Haley gets top billing on this **** show.
 
He may have bulked up a bit to much. Lost some of his speed and elusiveness.
