2019 was Hooper’s last year in ATL. He had 6 touchdowns that season. That’s still more than Pitts has had in his entire CAREER.

    Yeah but it’s okay Pitts isn’t involved because this isn’t fantasy football and we’re still wi-

    It would in fact be helpful if Kyle Pitts was actually used as a receiving TE and actually had a QB like Hooper did

      Yea. Hooper was really good, and any TE on a Matt Ryan team is going to get a ton of usage. Honestly, I think Kyle might still be hurt. He couldn’t run a full stride in the early games this year. He’s running with a normal gate now, but that doesn’t mean he’s fully back. Or it could be a freak think where he’s just broken, but at 23 with NFL technology and loose PED enforcement, I’d be shocked if he’s really done done.

    Hooper isn’t a good TE either Ryan just loves TEs. He made toilolol look as effective as Pitts has been the last two years.

    You would think that a 6’6” receiving tight end would be a mismatch on the goal line. He’s either a major liability in the blocking game so he doesn’t play in goal line packages, or just doesn’t win on his routes.

    Pitts also has as many TDs as Julio in his last season. We just don’t like throwing TDs to our best receiver
