Can he do it on a team with 4 good WRs, another 4th round draft pick, and a special teamer ahead of him? It's not as likely. Fans over-estimate the talent their team has often, and I'm not going to put too much into someone only to then call him a disappointment when he doesn't live up to my bloated expectations that I gave him for no reason.

I am a strong proponent of Cody Core, was one of the few that were happy when the Bengals selected him.  Living in SEC TV country, I saw him in action in college, saw him demonstrate what he could do when Treadwell went down.  With that said, you make a very good point about people shouldn't build players up, only to set themselves up for a letdown when said player doesn't reach unattainable expectations.

Sure, I'm happy to learn that Core is taking his job seriously, putting in that extra work in the offseason.  I hope that he can demonstrate an improvement from that work, and secure a spot on the final 53.  If he happens to be the 5th or 6th option on the depth chart, wonderful, as the team appears to be well stocked in the WR dept.
