I just really haven't liked what I've seen from Quick, it's night and day when I compare him to someone like Stedman Bailey. Bailey didn't get a lot of targets early in the year, but when he did get in the game, he always seemed completely composed, caught everything that came his way, and showed a lot of toughness for not going down on the first hit and getting the extra YAC. One guy seemed like he belongs there, and the other just doesn't, imo. Maybe I'm not being fair to Quick, but he always disappoints in crucial moments and his movements just seem so awkward to me from how he mistimes his jumps, the way he falls, how he sometimes can't locate the ball in the air, and sometimes doesn't even know what play is being run. I can get over the occasional concentration drop that get most fans up in arms, but some of these flaws are just natural instincts that Quick seems to lack and that can't be taught.
Honestly, Snead pulled a an Avery/Jackson when he selected Quick over Jeffery. I didn't even know who Quick was until he was a Ram. I'd love to right the wrong by picking Evans and Watkins but DANG that's a high pick to jack up on. Same with Pead. (I forgive the Pead pick because they did trade up and found Stacy.)
Either way, it's a big decision to stick with Quick.
I hope Schotty can figure it all out this year, too. He seems to be growing with the team a bit. He kinda sux.
