You can't show your ceiling unless your given a chance. One rookie season isn't much of a chance is it?

Now you're just making shit up. What's next? If the Chiefs had kept Verran Tucker, you would have won the SuperBowl?
Apparently not.

Copper never "gets by". He is and has always been a lock to make the roster in all of Haley's seasons due to his ability on special teams. That's why he's on the roster and why he won't be taken out unless we find a younger player more adept at special teams than he is. His role on the team has never been molded as a 4th WR or go-to guy. He's a veteran who does his job on special teams, and sometimes contributes on offense as a blocking WR. If he gets lucky, he will get a few table scraps here and there.

Sounds like he does "get by". The point is special teams has now become far less important. Which means Copper's value has decreased immensely. We haven't even seen what Tucker can do.

Quit dreaming of the Chiefs finding the next Miles Austin. It's not in Tucker and it won't be in any of their undrafted receivers for a long time. That kind of player is a RARITY. It doesn't happen very ****ing often. Get used to it. Copper is actually worth something to the team. Therefore, he stays.

Miles Austin didn't do jack shit till his 4th NFL season and was literally handed the number one receiving spot with T.O's departure and Romo losing confidence in Williams. Your receiving corp will impact you more then a special teams god. Being good on special teams and sucking ass at your designated position is like being the king of shit. You're still shit. Copper can be replaced and that's that. Simply put, Special teams don't win superbowls.
