I expect that several new starters will emerge this year - - at least I sure damned hope so - - but some of them will be Free Agent signings who will be handed their starting roles and others will be high draft picks.

Real honest "Roster Battles" are unlikely...

Re: Expectations of Malcom Kelly

I'm guessing on nice catch in training camp but he gets hurt on the play and is done. I have zero expectations of him.

Re: Expectations of Malcom Kelly

I don't believe it is smart to have expectations of malcolm kelly. We should assume he is not going to produce for us. He could very well surprise us and have a breakthrough year, but after battling so many injuries, and not having proven anything to us even when he is healthy enough to play, we shouldn't "expect" anything from him but we can still hope that he turns out to be a nice surprise.

Re: Expectations of Malcom Kelly

I'd go
Moss
Hankerson
Kelly
AA
Austin
Rookies
Banks

Kelly was kept on IR for a reason. He came to every practice while he was injured i say knowing the offense and working with Beck puts him at an advantage. Health i believe is his only issue.

Re: Expectations of Malcom Kelly

THe question is totally moot at this point. We have an enormous problem at QB, so who gives a rats if Kelly makes the squad or not!! Why do we keep hanging on to our new Taylor Jacobs? We kept that guy on the roster to only hope he would get healthy and be a stud, never happened. I hope all these Wrs we drafted this season make the team. They were solid picks to me at the time and aren't smallish guys like Banks or Austin. Those guys are fast, but they don't have any meat on them bones, and will get nailed eventually. We need physical players in the NFC East, not walking injuries waiting to happen.

Re: Expectations of Malcom Kelly

I don't know that Niles Paul is a threat to Banks so much as Aldrick Robinson is. Banks is borderline to make the roster right now, and I know the whole nightclub/stabbing incident didn't go over so well with the coaches and front office.

Ultimately, I think he makes the final roster but it'll be close

Re: Expectations of Malcom Kelly

BB will break a big return or two in the preseason and all will be forgotten.
