McVay likes to play with his toys, right away even.
Only guy I can think of treated this way was Brycen Hopkins and we know how that worked out

Remember that McVay's offense is probably the most complex offense in the NFL.
I get it, he missed quite a bit of camp due to injury.
But it's getting really hard having to watch all these other TE's already grinding for their teams.

I can't help but think, in the 3rd quarter (from what I recall) Higbee ran a wheel down the right sideline and Stafford just threw it too far in front of him for what would have been a huge gain. Would Ferg have had the speed to be under that pass and have a massive gain (possibly 6)? Just a thought.
Sit Parkinson for 1 game and give Ferg a few plays. I'm sure he remembers how to catch the ball and run.

McBride too.
I just don’t think there is anything here.
I don’t trust coaches and GM’s take on their top draft picks potential when they aren’t playing and I don’t think Fergz not playing is overly concerning.
Adding speculation because why not?
Just a reminder of Ferg's pre-draft:
Could it be that he's just too soft for the Rams to play him right now? Possibly?
If he needs toughening up, that process is probably going to take a while.

Well ... Hopkins did come through in the Super Bowl, when injuries left him as the lone healthy TE. Hopkins caught four passes that day; and, I believe, three came in the fourth quarter.
However, in four seasons, Hopkins totaled 13 receptions. That's what Nacua had on Sunday! Great for a game.
But that ain't too good for four years.
Or, Stafford could have simply thrown a better pass? Higbee did his job, he got open. I love 9 but that one was on him.
So Hopkins was the reason they won a SB??
Amazing they didnt re-sign him then
What a silly argument
I'm not worried about Ferguson. Not yet. Development is never linear for any sports. Younger players often will have their struggles, especially in rookie years - and that's not even counting injuries. For them not to play in their rookie year isn't that big of a deal. It's when they get older and are still struggling that I get worried. Ferguson is only twenty-two and won't turn twenty-three until March of next year.
He has plenty of time, and when there's vets like Higbee (our starter), Parkinson (right or wrong, the staff seems to love Parkinson), and Allen (who is developmentally ahead) ahead of him, it's natural that we'd go to them first.
