Tyler Boyd, record chaser?

Marvin benching Tyler for a couple of games was just a coach holding a player accountable for off field indiscretions.

Dorsey and Dawson were just not good players.  I guess they were in the "dog house" of every single coach in the entire league.

Ross was just not ready to play.  Again, Marvin holding a player accountable for not knowing the playbook and trying to hide injuries.

That's your take and it isn't mine.  Your "couple games" extended most of a season for Boyd.  Dorsey took a screen pass something like 60 yards, then blocked a punt, and never saw the field again.  I have no idea what that was all about.  Saying guys like Dorsey and Dawson were not good players and because no other coach gave them a chance proves that is a bit of a stretch.  Would we have known what Vontaze Burfict was without an injury to Thomas Howard?  Can't say for sure.  Not everyone in the league gets chances, but that was Marv sticking with paid players and veterans that weren't playing very well to begin with. 

Ross not being ready to play has been debated ad nauseum around here.  He must have learned a lot not playing under Marv (which makes no sense) because his first game with ZT, he had career highs in yards and TDs, against a pretty good Seahawks secondary.
