The man was drafted in 2008, and didn't see the field until the final games of 2010, and he only saw the field then because of injuries to TO and Chad. Marvin, for some reason I'll never understand, couldn't figure out how to put Simpson on the field. When asked about it at a press conference, Marvin said responded with something like, "what do you want me to do, bench Chad?"..... SERIOUSLY!? Ever heard of rotating? If nothing else, the second round draft pick should have seen the field at least a few times a game from 2008 onward. There was no reason to have Simpson rotting on the bench for that long. None. I was not the least bit surprised he lit up the chargers in his debut. And I was not the least bit surprised to see Core reel in a long pass. He needs to see the field more, and sadly it took injuries for it to happen but... That's our coach 

See, what the flaw Marvin pointed out is exactly what is needed. 

He knows it.

Yet it took an injury for a speed receiver to see the field.

That's just plain stubbornness IMO.

See the problem.  Address it.

Yet Wright was the one seeing the field because of experience. 

Don't get me wrong. Wright has made a few plays.

But Marvin should know that he is not a field stretcher by any means.

Oh well. The O-line not being able to conconsistently block and established any kind of running game is just as important.

Yet here we are.
