If a WR takes long to develop, then why are we calling Dex an instant dividend when his primary role is going to be served as a slot receiver. Maybe he never reaches his potential, but there's no doubt his upside is a lot higher than what we've seen to date.
Given that Dex has had limited kickoff duties and that the majority of his snaps have been in the slot, then there's no reason not to give him the same development time as another WR would get.
