Maybe I am just frustrated by the bad loss. TA doe sshow talent on NFL Level. Quick is not gonna work. You do not draft wr's with a 2nd rd pick to be a experiement.
You could be right, GC. But... For me, at WR, I still have patience for Quick. Here's why;
1) It happens all the time in the NFL (WR's developing slowly)
2) He's progressing. I'll start to worry if I see his progress plateau before being a productive player.
3) He's working hard. We've not got an AJ Jenkins situation on our hands.
I'd just like to see him get more chances. Trial by fire when he's ready for those tests.
This, people always seem to think of WRs in terms of what they are after the develop, but nobody stops to look at what they were when they were developing.
If we all went by that standard we'd have no Torry Holts or Isaac Bruces, both of whom had abysmal, almost nonexistent first seasons before blowing up into the players that we know and love.
Quick didn't even have the pleasures of ironing out his failures and jitters on the field, he spent more time on the sideline than in the actual game. There's something to be said about studying the game yes, but at the end of the day nothing beats actual game experience. It teaches more than anybody can put into words.
I trust there's a reason why he's been kept under lock and key for so long and I trust they'll unleash him when he's ready.
To say he sucks when we've only seen limited doses of him is shortsighted and reactionary.
