Remember that the early Shepherd optimism was based on his apparent chemistry with Cam early in camp.

Very true. 

Which was so weird BC Shepard was NOT in Baltimore with Cam.

Shepherd couldn't beat out Adam Humphries.....

 

Adam Humphries is now buried in Tampa's depth chart.

Ted Ginn Jr couldn't beat out John Brown.

Again is that suppose to help your point? LOL

John Brown is way better than Ginn, the only reason Ginn has been productive in Carolina is cause our WR core is horrible.

meh jaron brown beat him out this year.

Ether way I could dig up whoever Ginn couldn't beat out during his tenure in SF as justification as well.

shepard could thrive in this offense just as Ginn did....time will tell. You can't just say "he couldn't beat Humphries out" over and over again "he must suck!" when the same could be said about Ted Ginn in SF as well as AZ.

John Brown has been dealing with a quad injury so theirs that and unlike our coaching staff Arians is very reactionary and does things on the fly

 

All those guys that Ginn couldn't beat out in Arizona or SF would all been more productive than him in Carolina, we are just to cheap to bring them in. Ginn is a complete product of terrible WR core and Cam.

@Jeremy Igo has a great point about chemistry with Cam. I reserve judgment until we see how Shepard responds in a game with Cam throwing. I will say this, having witnessed so many practices in Wofford, Shepard was easily our #3, and a damn good one at that. 

He has quickness, he has speed, he has catching ability, and he has tenacity. I won't quite go Saca level hype, but Shepard is a lock to make this team and I predict he will have a good season with us.

Well Humphreys has been a revelation, and he's not really buried on the depth chart as the present WR3 (and presumably punt return duties). 

I get you though. Shepard didn't maximize his opportunity and got beat out by someone who wasn't supposed to beat him. 

[Steve_Smith_Sr.]

I see him as making the team and living in the slot.

Godwin is tearing up Bucs camp this week, so I doubt Humphries holds on to his spot much longer. 

 

Also so when it comes to options he soundly behind both the TE's

Watch with all the pessimism he will gain over 1000 yards this year.

I'm not worried about Shepard based on two freaking pre season games.

I'm not "worried" about him at all because I know that we will eventually do better if he doesn't do anything. 

All I'm saying is that here we have a guy who hasn't really done anything from a position standpoint his entire four year career, and then in two preseason games it's more of the same.  His showcase (or show-me-something-case) should be tomorrow night! Hopefully he'll get three quarters to justify his talk.
