[quote=Mattyk;713191]Plenty of WRs don't do much until year 3 and even year 4. In fact it probably happens more often than not.[/quote]Almost never though if they are getting consistent playing time. 32 NFL games is an eternity, so if a player is active for 30+ games and doesn't have a track record of success, you're probably doing something wrong with development (or wasting time on a bad player). I mean, look at Fred Davis. Are there holes in his game? Sure. Was he a disaster as a rookie? As a pass-receiver, yes. Did he look completely lost when he started getting starts at TE? No, he looked like he knew what he was doing.

With Randle El gone, playing time opportunities should be a lot more plentiful for both Thomas and Kelly, which should be all the opportunity they need to develop into the best players they can be.

re: Stop the Madness, T.O. should be a skin (but he's not, he's a Bengal)
 

Im tired of hearing excuses for Thomas and Kelly. You need to wait 3 or 4 years, or playing time, bad oline, etc...Last year everybody was saying we needed these guys to step up, going so far with lofty expectations with predicitions on receptions and yards...these guys have been major disappointments period. Actually the WR position as a whole has been a disappointment for years. TO is absolutely not the answer...trading crazy mulitiple high draft pics for pouty, DUI junkie, wants-to-get-paid WR is not the answer either. There is no other answer but for one of these 2 guys to do something and live up to expectations...or cut them both

But.... is T.O. interested in the Rams? the Rams have been one of the teams reported as possibly needing him but I keep hearing that T.O. would not go there cause he wants to go to a team that has a chance to win it all either next yr or in the near future cause he's seeking a ring. Many have written the Rams off due to this but if they are the only team sniffing in his direction I can see him taking the bait.

re: Stop the Madness, T.O. should be a skin (but he's not, he's a Bengal)
 

yeah heard they're intensifying talk with T.O. but honestly that's gotta be one of his last considerations.. he'd def rather be with the Bengals, Skins, etc

I still can't believe Keith Bulluck will be the Giants starting MLB...

re: Stop the Madness, T.O. should be a skin (but he's not, he's a Bengal)
 

I believe the Bengals and possibly Redskins top his list...but if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with...which may leave him with the Rams. I think TO, like Brian Westbrook, will wait perhaps until training camp is over to make a decision

And I think that will give Shanny just enough time to change his mind about signing T.O. if he doens't like what he sees with the WRs in camp. Enter dramatic music. dun dun dun....

This is exactly how I see it going down. I just have a feeling they both are trying to avoid camps

re: Stop the Madness, T.O. should be a skin (but he's not, he's a Bengal)
 

If BW is healthy like he says and if he wants to be successful with a new team shouldnt he at least get to camp and learn the new offense? Whether if he signs here or with any other team.

I guess guy hold out for many of reasons, I just think some wait till the first few hard weeks / two a days are over so they don't have to over tax themselves.

I heard this and thought, WOW, is this REALLY the VET WR they want chewing on Bradfords rookie ear in the huddle?
