Surprised people aren't wanting to see more of what our young wideouts can do instead of writing them off as not having "beat" out Lafell with their limited opportunities (even for a team out of the race). Then act shocked when we have an all pro like WJIII sitting the bench who we wouldn't have seen if it wasn't for an injury to an aging vet at the position. .

But okay. Enjoy those bubble screens to Lafell.

And all the snaps last year, pre seasons, and practices. Wouldnt you rather see a WR do something to earn a spot than just give it to them?

You mention Adam Jones and William Jackson and it's a perfect example. Jones had been the best corner on the Bengals roster for alot of seasons of course he was going to play. After Jones was hurt WJIII earned that corner spot by using his opportunity and playing great now they can move on from the older and more expensive Jones.

Even though Boyd, Core, Erickson, and Malone got opportunities none of them have earned Lafell's spot....yet.
