Grant on the other hand I think will end up being a decent starter in the future.
Grant could have been our ODB Jr. with more playing time and confidence in him. The Redskins need to let their young players play.

We haven't seen much of Grant since the Jaguars game. For a 5th round pick he is a good wide receiver.

This is what's been wrong with this organization for a long time. They'd rather play scrubs like Josh Wilson over Amerson. Or play journeymen like Jabar Gafney. Keep Moss on the team when he's inactive or useless. There's no reason to not have Grant in there. Roberts is a joke at WR. Whoever scouted him to be the #2 should be fired. If Hall hadn't got hurt, we wouldn't be seeing Breeland emerge. Why isn't Long or LeRib playing? Are they THAT BAD where he can't push Chester? Or at least get a series or two? To me that's pathetic.

Comparing Grant to ODB is a huge stretch. A giant stretch even.

Baloney. Amerson played plenty as a rookie. Breeland would have seen plenty of action as the 3rd corner this year. Or did you want him playing over Hall?

If young guys aren't playing it points to the bigger issue of them simply not being good enough in the first place.

My point is would let these guys get the chance to emerge. Especially when our record is so bad. Yes, I would have been in favor of having Hall play the 3. I would have rather seen Amerson start over Wilson. Would you rather see Moss out there over Grant? You want to keep seeing Chester on roller skates? Tomorrow I would have a guard rotation, can't be any worse than what we've seen.

Re: RG3 and Gruden?

Grant has been active all year while Moss has only been active for 9 games. So I'm not sure where that comparison is even coming from.

At this point I don't see a problem with Roberts playing over him.

Yup, and Grant is obviously the Jerry Rice in all this.

If only we didn't hold these guys back.

We r loaded at WR for the first time since the gibbs 1.0 days. Jackson is a top 10 WR and garçon is a top 30. Then Roberts as a 3 is a great option as well.

Yup. Grant has been on the field. People think he hasn't played simply because when he does, he disappears. One good jam and he's out of the play.

I think Grant will be good next year but anyone who wants him to be ODB this year is fooling themselves. ODB gets off jams; Grant, at this point, doesn't.

There is a reason ODB was a first round pick and Grant a 5th.

Just you wait. They are going to go to another team and become all-pros just like Cult Brennan and Marko Mitchell.

ODB also has elite speed . . . Grant is quite slow comparatively.
