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 for 3 yards.
Nothing personal against Lafell, but we are "rebuilding" or have been for the last 2 years. I think we've invested in wide receivers enough to finally see what we have. Especially for those expecting or wanting us to draft a couple more.
You act like LaFell being here keeps those guys from getting their snaps, and no one can see what they can do. They have their snaps, they just do nothing with them. Erickson is the most consistent of the bunch, and everyone wants him cut too. You don't make the team or take the starting spot by getting the most chances, you do that by making the most of the chances you get.
