I'm somewhere in the middle.  Happy we got Chase and hopeful he turns into a solid WR for us for years to come.  But also, acknowledging the fact he's in his very first TC and hasn't even seen his first game yet.  

Ups and downs, strikes and gutters......its all part of the process.  



I remember reading a report back in the day on ESPN's website about when Jerry Rice was a rookie receiver, he had a practice once where he dropped every ball thrown his way, never had a single catch in that practice.   The coaches were thinking of dropping him right after that practice, but Joe Cool talked them out of it, asked them to give him one more shot at the next practice.  

Close, but it was actually everyone else that wanted to bench him and Walsh was the one that stayed in his corner. I remember reading an article about Rice and the wide open offense of MVS when i was a senior so i always kept an eye on him. I remembered the hoopla you're speaking of and reading about it so i went digging and this is what i found.
