First round draft pick, 26 games played, 23 receptions, 0 TDs....

would you rather him dominate targets with AT/Diggs/Rudy/Cooks on the offense? he did what he was asked to do week 1.

one play defines an entire game? on a 4 yard crossing route on 3rd and 6 with 4 guys coming to tackle him anyways behind the 1st down marker? that makes it a horrible game?

At this point, it is pretty clear that Treadwell is not going to be a superstar WR like he was in college.  However, it would be nice if he could develop into a good possession receiver and be a much bigger threat in the red zone.  I just don't know that it will ever happen here with Diggs and Thielen being 1A and 1B.  Those two are just too good for him to get more than a couple targets per game.
I think his stats would be much better if he was on a different team, but they would still be lacking for a 1st round pick.

Some people are just never happy.

I concur.  If he was on a different squad without 2 pro-bowl wide-outs and TE, who knows.  His drop was seemingly not meant for him, but he ran a sloppy route.

Yes, that's what it is.

Team is 1-0. No major injuries. Mortal enemy up next. And you're still fixated on the #3 WR.

correct me if im wrong but is there any WR from that draft getting it done?  Doctson has maybe been ok. Colman isnt even on a team is he?  There was one other “top 4” WR that year that i cant recall. At a minimum treadwell has been a great blocker and stayed healthy.

Actually, one has been especially good....chosen after we took Treadwell.....at pick #47 overall:

My problem with Treadwell is that he has shown absolutely ZERO ability in the NFL, and yet continues to get on the field for over half of the offense's snaps, taking away a spot from those who have shown a lot more than he ever has.  I would rather have J. Wright, Coley, Beede, or Zylstra on the field any day.

But if some here want to think that we're so great that we can continue to play with 10 on offense, so be it I guess.

Last year, Wright bettered Treadwell's stats in only half the snaps, and yet he was shown the door while LT continues to plod out there and contribute nothing when called upon.

Wait, I thought he had learned how to be a professional this offseason?  LOL.  God he sucks.

main reason LT is on the field ahead of others is he can block. I agree with the complaints about his abscense in the passing game but as long as Zimmer is in charge running the ball will be priority. For Zim,  more important for the #3 WR to block then catch passes. 

we might as well give him a shot this season, the coaching staff seems to be...

I saw a lot of drops in Week 1 across the league and on our team. Players are knocking off rust I guess.
I'll keep hoping Treadwell surprises us.
