He has beat coverage on several plays and JC missed him wide open down the field. He will get his chance and I think the coaches need to do a better job of getting him involved in the game.

I agree, he cannot throw the ball to himself when he is wide open. Eventually, JC is going to hit him a few times and it is going to be "game on!".

I'm starting to think this guy is going to be a total 100% bust. We all knew it was a very risky pick to begin with. But when you see other rookie wr's playing well in the WC offense ( Royal and Jackson) you start to wonder. I mean outside of teams he's given us NOTHING. I do agree that the coaches need to do a better job designing plays for him. Just some simple shit like screens.

Well lets not forget those others you have picked out (Royal & Jackson) are playing for an O that has had the WC offense in place for sometime. So they just had to learn their place in the system. We still have an entire offense learning the system and its just natural for the QB in a new system to go with the players he is allready comfortable with. Lets not write him off so soon.
