This^^

It's not a mystery.  This past week and back in week 2 are the only times he has been a full participant in practice so far since the 53 man roster was announced.  The other weeks he only participated in 5 of the 15 practices, and in only 2 of those was he a full participant.  This comes after a very limited training camp and preseason.

It's very unfortunate, but he is way behind and needs time to catch up to become a contributor.

I'm starting to believe that he accidentally put premium in Mike's Lumina and also forgot to use his fuel points.

How difficult is it to learn to run routes and catch the ball?

It takes time for a WR and an QB to get in sink.

All I know is it is Marvin's dumb ass that rolls out guys like Lafell that get zero separation and he continues to play worthless turds over young guys.

Case in point:  MJ started at RDE.  Does absolutely nothing as a DE.  Nothing.  Has been acceptable as a pass rushing DT on certain downs, but playmakers like Chris Smith (who helped win the game on his last play), Jordan Willis (who blocked a punt, and was not given a chance to rush the passer) and Lawson (who made a huge sack and a BS call for roughing) sit over losers like MJ.  

Makes me want to vomit.  Ross was the #1 playmaker coming out of college.  #1.  And he gets one target in the game where they are having major struggles on offense?

Explain to me how this helps them win.

I'd say they, like all our team, are both in pretty deep at this point.

Brown, Mike

Other than they both play WR.

Well, both their first names start with the letter 'J'. So there's that too, I guess.

He may just not be up to full speed

Right there's the whole problem.

Sinks are made for dishes, not football players!!
