Jarrett got four years. How about we give the kid at least one game?

Apples to Oranges. To my knowledge, we did not trade up to get Dwanye Jarrett, nor did we draft him to play out of position from his college resume.

FFS... here's the bottom line folks.

UNTIL Armanti Edwards can start a game, and convincingly show us that he brings a level of athleticism worth trading a draft pick away for, then we have every right as a fan base to level criticism at the Front Office for making the move they did to get him. There's a lot of expectation when you make moves outside of the box.

Now... that does not mean he can't, or he won't be worth it. It's just simply that the return hasn't been worth the investment YET

Not having his "legs" means that all the running he has been doing, while getting in better shape and condition, has taken away some of his explosive burst. The only way to get them back is to rest.

This is the same reason why towards the end of the season, coaches' will give more days off.

It doesn't mean he is lazy by any means, actually quite the contrary. It means he has been busting his ass trying to get into shape.

It amazes me that so many people believe he is going to suck because he hasn't learned to play receiver on an NFL level yet. You same assholes gave Dwayne Jarrett 3 years and you won't give Armanti 3 months. I have the feeling, he is going to make some of you look like retards. And I may be the one who looks retarded, but we probably wont know this season.

This is coming from an "App Homer", and I guess I am one because I am one of the few that actually has seen him play and know what kind of athleticism he really has.

What is really going to be awesome is when he drops a few balls... and yall are going to be screaming how terrible he is, but when Jimmy Clausen throws a few picks or fumbles, "Jimmy is developing", "He is just learning like other Rookie QBs". Even when Jimmy was "The most NFL ready" and Armanti is changing positions and taking a huge leap in week to week talent".

I'm not believing for a single minute there are double standards on this board and that hypocrisy runs rampant... no way... not here.

Isn't that what people like Coach Tolbert, Davidson, Magazu, Skipper, Meeks, Rodgers, and even Fox are for? I mean, they are COACHES.

I think people put too much stock into the veteran-to-rookie ratio on a team. Does it help? Probably. Is it a death blow without it? No.

Tyke Tolbert???

He isn't old and can still run the routes to show and teach.

I used to think the same thing until I saw that piece of rookie WRs and how much they rely on someone other than a coach taking time with them and teaching them. It's usually guys in 30s who have big contacts and are secure enough not to think some rookie will take their spot. Look at Joe Horne and Roddy White. Roddy should send Joe a christmas card and bonus every year for what he did to his career.

Smith never did those things. I don't know why. Speculators always point to him being too hung up on perfection and a lack of patience for those young players who can't match his desire to succeed.

Poster: "I just want to see something worthwhile before I get excited about someone we gave next year's 2nd for."

App Maniac: "YOU ARE A BUNCH OF HATERS!1!!!"

Hyperbole at its finest. On both sides.

Since when do posters need to see something before they get excited about a draft pick. Unless, there is some preconceived opinion made about a player before he even takes the field.

People got excited about Gettis just by reading his "measurables". So I dont wanna hear anything about "wanting to see something before you get excited". That poo doesn't fly cause we were all excited about Dwayne Jarrett at one time too.
