The thing about MCcant's is he came into the league as a project, last year you could observe his maturation as a reciever, he seemed to have started to become a more reliable reciever, at least toward's the end of the year, he was hauling in whatever came his way, gardner came in much more refined, and seemed to have gone backward's to the point where MCcant's is getting ready to pass him by, gardner has been stagnant were as at least IMO MCcant's has made stride's, If you wan't to say give gardner a shot under Gibb's? I will buy that, but 1 thing that a coach really has nothing to do with is a player's abiltity to catch the ball, and If gardner isn't going to haul in 95% of the ball's that hit him in the hand's then you just can't take a chance on throwing to him, that will land him on the bench, I know he has all kind's of potential, but as forrest say's, stupid is as stupid does, and gardner has shown no propensity for maximizing his talent's. physically he's more gifted than Monk, but that's where the comparison end's.
