...Half of the people out there kept beating the "bet on talent" drum, while the other half said that his play with a shitty QB was proof that he wasn't ready to step out of Andre Johnson's shadow. I'll still bet on talent allll day.
I don't think it's an either or of "bet on talent because this kid will shine" or "he's just not elite and was only a product of situation."
I'm in the camp of "he's got some elite level skills and is a great place to invest your chips to grab a very good WR for quite a while, but he's likely going to struggle as his QB struggles this year and it's ok to bench him until a QB starts consistently targeting him" camp.
The thing is Mason isn't struggling. He's doing exactly what the Steelers are asking him to do. And I think this is a smart move by the Steelers to lean on the run game and shorten the field to ease Mason in. I'm a JuJu owner and I'm not worried about his future. Will he have a down year? Yeah most likely. The Steelers have their bye week in 2 weeks. I'd expect to see the Steelers start opening up the playbook more for Mason coming out of the bye. If that happens that's when we'll really see what the Steelers have in Mason.
