I don't get the hate for this guy.  I'm sure his dad has enough money to give him a solid life, but he continues to work and obviously loves the game.  He has had some tough-luck injuries but, as you said, usually GETS OPEN AND CATCHES THE BALL.  This, on a team that saw Wilcox injured, and Sample is also injured.  I think he might also have some good chemistry with Joe.  

Here's to him proving the haters wrong and making big strides this year.  Pulling for the kid.  

He played ok and will get more reps with the injuries.  I think part of the back and forth is also people that made him out to be a great addition to the team just because he played at LSU without seeing any real NFL play by him.. that seem to start the back and forth on here.  So now that Joe is out, he has to show it with other QBs and on the line blocking to make this team not the idea "Well just wait till he plays with Joe".. i don;t see that as "hate" just as a fair analysis of what he needs to do to make the team.
