As I put in the game day thread, DK will be very missed by this offense. He not only was a receiving threat, but took a lot of pressure off of the other wide receivers in having the other team having to double cover him. JSN cannot do it by himself and Kupp is nowhere near what he used to be. They better figure something out quick or else this offense ain’t doing anything this year.

I think he didn't want to be here. Bye Felicia!
And no he wasn't that great here. He was very very mediocre.
That is correct in that he did not want to be here, but I think that had a lot to do with the game plan and that he was not getting the ball nearly enough. Teams should force feed him the ball as he is just a nightmare matchup. With this said, our receiving core is awfully thin and going to be an issue all year.

DK got the ball plenty. Dropped it plenty too. Fumbled it plenty as well. Bye Felicia! I definitely do not miss you.

Dk is not missed. The guy will drop crucial passes and fumbles at the most inconvenient times. He has wanted to leave Seattle for 3 years now.

This was my biggest worry going into the season. Cooper Kupp is a nice story but he's done. Basically at best what we had in Lockett last year. Should have just held on to DK and let him walk after the year. Outside of JSN we have no options at the moment.

Dropped 3 passes today..FKC dk.
He had 108 targets last year and dropped four. I’ll take that number. As far as today is concerned, I saw one of those drops and that was on Rogers. Even Rogers himself pointed to himself, saying it was his fault. I only saw one other. With that said, it was pretty apparent that Seattle missed him today.

Metcalf or MVS are bigger guys that go downfield and get the ball to beat 9 man boxes so missing either one is very, very obvious. I would throw in Lockett too as he was always sneaky good downfield even at the twilight of his career. Seahawks offense needs to find a way to involve Horton and Arroyo more downfield to help JSN and Kupp out.

People truly underrated DK. He wasn't a top 3 WR but he IS a pure #1 WR.

JSN is good, very good, but he's a lower end #1 and Kupp. Well, let's hope him and Darnold can figure it out.

JSN can be the #1 outside guy. He can stretch the field.

But, look how effective he is in the slot. He’s the best in the league there…in my biased opinion.

If we line him up outside, who’s in the slot? 😒. Maybe Kupp’s role needs to be inside/slot. Develop Horton.

Hmmm. Rambled more than I intended but, I’m sitting on the toilet…taking a Woolen.

JSN will be our #1 for a long, long time. He truly can do it all. But, he can’t be everywhere…

I would put JSN in the top 15 wide receivers, but I agree with everything else you say
