How can you hate DK Metcalf?
He's a physical specimen the likes of which has not been seen since Megatron. He's got Tyreek Hill's long speed in a body rivaling the mass of Kam Chancellor.
His production and role are similar to that of the late Vincent Jackson who we all pined for, but he's significantly rarer.
Yes, he's not great at highpointing the ball. No, his hands aren't perfect. Yes, he can be too emotional.
On the flip side, yes, he stretches the field. Yes, he is one of the fastest players in the NFL. No, he will not take the defenses shit. Yes, he will grip a linebacker by the facemask and toss him. Personally, I like that. I like having the bigger, faster, and stronger player in any matchup the defense could throw at him.
Plus, in fairness, DK Metcalf has drawn several personal flag calls in our favor. Just because he's imposing and scary.
DK Metcalf is an exercise in accepting the bad with the irreplaceable. I bet on unique talents, and really, DK isn't that bad. He is not the type of diva we think he is. We haven't had one of those types in a while.
