I don't see what the big hoopla about Taylor Jacobs playing well in a couple of shorts and helmets minicamp practices is all about? Until he shows it in a couple regular season games, w/out getting injured, he is still an injury prone rookie. Just like Ladell Betts. We cannot count on him just yet.
The knock on him coming out of college was he is not very physical. Last year proved this to be true.
Gardner on the other hand, proved in his rookie year, he is a legit NFL talent. Everyone knew Spurriers chuck and duck college bullshit offense was not ideal for a big receiver like Gardner. Why are we suprised he did not do well under Spurrier? Who on offense under Sprurrier performed well week to week. Nobody! Coles came out hot, but cooled as the season wore on.
Give Gardner, T. Jacobs and Ladell Betts a chance to prove who should stay, before we ship anyone out prematurely.
