Although I like what I seen out of Gibson amendola and smith.
I would like to see our 6'4 220lbs 2nd round pick Wide out. If we didn't feel like he was ready in my opinion he should have took that many more reps in the offseason and preseason. I would also like to see quick throwing to a little mor often. Take the diapers off and let them play.especially when you have WRs drafted after quick making plays Hill-jets Jeffery-bears Wright-titans.
Now I know it's only week 1 by no way am I saying there going to have better careers . Im just saying can we see the kids PLAY

Kendall Wright was drafted before Quick and their draft position is irrelevant to me. And I kind of don't understand what you're getting at. You say to stop "babying" them but you say you like what you see out of Gibson, Smith, and Amendola. The only one you mentioned was Quick. Just because he didn't play and have an awesome debut like Hill or Jeffery doesn't mean he sucks or he's gonna bust, or this or that. He'll be fine.

We are one game into the season.

I feel like that is all that needs to be said.

I watched Fishers Monday news conference and he was asked about the progress of the two rookie wr's. His only comments were that they were each out there for a few plays and when they were out there they were in the right places. He seems to be giving them small roles in games to see if they know what they're doing. He's bringing them along slowly and is focusing on them doing their jobs properly before he includes them more in the offense.

I personally like what Fisher is doing with bringing Quick and Givens along.

I can see both sides of the argument. On one hand if they arent ready maybe they shouldnt be out there. On the other hand, other Wrs out there werent making an impact so why not let them be out there? Sometimes you need to be out there to learn. They certainly do it with qbs all the time. Theres really no real negative to having them out there. Lets gibson and Amendola be out there then throw quick and givens in at times.

We have horrible pass catching options on this team (I've been arguing that on this forum since 2007). Gibson should be a reserve player, Amendola is nice piece but he is limited physically, Givens and Quick are raw and no one can be sure how they may perform.

It is going to be at least another year before our offense is respectable. The lions just shut us down without 2 starters in their secondary, and this is the unit that allowed Matt freaking Flynn to throw for 6 touchdowns with the season on the line last year.

There's no point in discussing our offense this year. We lack play makers and our offensive line is a wet paper bag. Enough said.

Michael Floyd had 0 receptions, Blackmon had a few. Rookie WRs aren't getting as much time first game as people think they would
