No question Alt has been great, too. Their offense does need another bona fide threat, but point taken,

You are 100% right.  Think they'll target one early in first couple of rounds.  Imagine Alt as our ORT.

So what do the Cardinals fans think about MHjr not even getting 1,000 yards after being drafter before all of the other rookies?

It appears that speed and movement ability trump size in today's NFL.  Perhaps teams should have heeded MH jr, refusing so much of the draft process.  Not only did he skip the Combine, but he also did nothing on his Pro Day.   The claim was he was "training for the NFL", but perhaps the real reason is his speed is not that good and that has hampered his NFL production.

I'll offer a hypothesis on MH Jr.  He has been coached his entire life by one of the most precise route runners I have ever seen.  He is now paired with a QB who many times needs to move around even in a clean pocket, so the timing usually will not be perfect.
