is anyone else baffled by the teams lack of confidence in this kid. I call it a lack of confidence because i don't know what else to call it. Most of us saw flashes in the preseason. He should have been the kick returner at the start of the season, and even after his game-changing performance on Sunday, John Fox still won't hand over the job. i wouldn't mind seeing him more involved in the passing game as well. He reminds me so much of Steve Smith.

He is a rookie. What NFL coach ever has confidence in a rookie. And fwiw, he didn't look that good at first in returning kicks. I think he will improve with experience.

Andy Reid, Mike Tomlin, Jim Caldwell, Jeff Fischer, Mike Shannan, Brad Childress, Mike Smith.

did i miss anyone?

There is a huge difference between having confidence in and deciding to play the best athlete at a particular position. Fox has played rookies before. Peppers and Otah come to mind. He might not have had confidence the way he might in a veteran, but he played them and let them make their mistakes.

And fwiw, Moore is returning kicks, so obviously the coach has some confidence in him.

As far as starting, well I am a Wake Forest fan, and I love seeing Kenny play, but even I would not have him supplant Moose or Smith.

Moore has speed but needs confidence. He certainly earned a spot on the active roster as a returner. Might mean he is used as a receiver, at least he will be available. He could blossom into a threat. If not, Jackson is on the practice squad right behind him. I would like to see Goodson get reactivated and see what he can do. Hopefully he will be cleared to play. I didn't see him on the injury report as of Friday night. I guess we will find out soon.

      Yeah I'm still not sure about Canales' play calling but I'll give him another season. Still can't quite figure out why you think Young won't work out. His numbers with Theilen are as good as any QB Theien's ever had - including the three games he has started with Rogers this year. Cokers' numbers are as good as Theilens and he is an UDFA and TMac is in the run for ORTY with Young as his QB. Young's throwing more accurately now (from 21.5% in 23 to 16.5% this year) and he has shown he can make the throws in clutch moments. If you take into account he was saddled with XL, Chark, Mingo and Johnson for receivers at one point, had a coaching staff his first year that didn't want him and a current coach who is suspect at play calling, I'm not sure he has been as bad as people here say. I know he has had terrible moments/games but most qb's still on their rookie contract will.  Anyway, had to give my weekly BY plug. Guess I thought this was the perfect time lol.

      He missed a lot of time. Was slow getting back up to speed. And we have an offense that is not exactly WR friendly so his targets were low.  How many targets does anyone get when you have 120 yards passing, 54 yards passing, 160 yards, most of the time? It probably took the time it needed to take.

      The 5th year option jus gives them a little more time to make their decision and figure out the position going forward.  The idea that it means hes def gonna get a extension is asinine.
