well long and wade probably havent dropped as many passes as the others, same point as bowe, johnson obviously IS NOT buying into what they are trying to accomplish and williams is. bradley had a problem LINING up in the right spot and getting to the marker on 3rd downs

He was drafted because he was a talented player with huge upside that many felt had the potential to be the best safety in last year's draft, over time.

He was extremely raw, however, and had a huge learning curve.

The fact is, if he were out there playing right now, he'd probably make a lot of errors and be responsible for giving up some big plays, but assuming he has the talent that many thought he has, he very likely would flash and also make some big plays.

And he did make a couple of big plays in this last preseason, against the Rams, I believe.

We did get to see a flash or two of the talent he owns.

The fact is, the best way to learn is to play.

But guys like Brown and Mike Goff prove the lie that is there are no sacred cows with Todd Haley and Scott Pioli.

Give me a break.

So you're pronouncing that Bobby Wade and Lance Long are better NFL receivers than Mark Bradley?

Huh?

i'm betting that if morgan showed that he was better and could do what waas asked of him he would play. what injury did he have last year?

nope i said they are doing it the way the TEAM wants it done better, more consistently, than bradley. that is the only thing that actually makes sense

The Bowe situation pisses me off more than any other.

This should have been his breakout year. 3rd year in the league, with a HC that Fitz swears by as a position coach.

Instead, he's regressed massively.

Matter of fact, most if not all our young players, sans Dorsey (and arguably Hali - he's a wash, IMO) have regressed under Haley and his staff.

Albert.
Bowe.
Bradley.
Page.
Carr.
Leggett.

Etc.

i remember him having a decent game this PS. everything i could find from the draft says he projects better than he actually plays, could be inexperience but could be that he plays with too much emotion and not much consistency.

Dude, the bottom line is that they're ALL doing it worse since his arrival.

Mark Bradley had a very nice eight games after joining the Chiefs and looked to be an excellent addition to Bowe's 86 catches.

Instead, both receivers, Bowe & Bradley are going to get half the catches this year from last year. That's ****ing idiotic.

I'm sorry, but I don't want to hear this shit about it being done "right" when the numbers prove otherwise.

bode has proven that he cant make the routine catch thus far. THATS the problem there, he dropped at least 2 more last game, carr is playing about the same as last year IMO. bradley has problems even lining up in the right spot.

How can you grade him on consistency when he's averaging less than 3 defensive snaps per game over his career?

Christ, people expect immediate results from rookies, and when they don't get them, that player is a bust.

The guy is a 3rd round pick that has barely played. The only way to even consider judging him is to start him every week from here on out - and even then, that's not enough time, IMO.

Everyone thought Mario Williams was a bust. Everyone thought Eli Manning was a bust.

And those guys were picked #1 overall.

Imagine the learning curve for a 3rd round pick, who declared early.

Yeah, this shit pisses me off beyond belief. And with Tank & Turk shipped out, along with Pollard, it's just even more maddening.

I just ****ing KNEW this was going to happen after they fired Herm. Herm had the personnel heading in the right direction and I absolutely guarantee that this roster would have been stocked with talent for the next coach in 2010.

Now, we're starting from scratch. Again. AND we're further away from having a competitive defense and a competitive offense.

Problems? One time?

WTF?

I can tell you that as a high school receiver, I once lined up offsides in a controlled scrimmage with referees.

It happens.

I'M pretty sure it happened more than once. and you were in HS thats expected not in the NFL.

Want to hear something funny?

Houston's run defense has moved up 10 spots from #31 to #21 since Pollard's arrival in the starting lineup.

They've held Hightower, Benson and Gore all under 50 yards.

Why?

They're playing him in run support, instead of playing him deeper like we were.

Amazing what happens when you put players in a position to succeed and play to their strengths.

Dude thats what they said about him leading up to his draft, not what i'm saying about him now. i said that in my post
