He has made some deep plays before for this team just not consistently due to a lack of opportunities. Crazy for you to deny his obvious talent. Again, not a wr2 but still can be a weapon for this offense.

I think you're missing the point. He was drafted to be a #2 because we needed a #2. He's never met that potential, and in the NFL if you haven't done it by year 3, you're not going to. Nobody is denying he's fast, but speed alone isn't going to cut it in this league. He was drafted in the 3rd round, but he's been outplayed by multiple WR's without his draft pedigree. Hell, even Dotson outperformed him, and he's not risen to the challenge since he was traded. We need a true #2 (or even a #1) WR and for he, Zaccheus and/or McCaffrey to either assume that mantle in the next 4 games, or we're going again next draft. I give McCaffrey some leeway as he's yr1. Everyone else is competing for the #4 & #5 slot next season.
