Good chat with Sando and Wagoner about the Rams' WRs. Like what Sando said about Quick.

Sando: The Rams are not banking on Quick necessarily. They've loaded up with young talent at the receiver and tight end. They've got options. If Quick hits his stride, all the better. I think this group is going places with or without him.

Sando has a point. I think he really needs to play by using his size (paraphrasing Holt here). I mean its one preseason game, but I am hoping to see progress in games down the line and have him show what I have seen in practice.

Yep, the Rams have the oppotunity to have both youth and depth at WR, TE and RB. That is rare. It really sets the table (taking for granted a couple RB are good and Quick develops) to load up on line talent next year.

The good news in this story?

Quick is progressing.

So, there is no reason to think that won't continue. Granted, it might not... but so far... I'd say things are going according to plan with this developmental WR out of App State.

My hope is that Quick moves up to be a solid, ascending player who gets 40-45 catches, is a red zone target, and plays more "naturally". THEN, if all that happens, he takes off in year 3. This year I see a player who is in a regular rotation but who hasn't gotten to the point where he is a pure starter---yet.

IMO... that would be "the plan".

I'm just stoked he's working hard and progressing. To me; that's all you can ask.
