It’s a terrible sign for TMJ’s future that he can’t beat out the likes of Shi Smith for playing time.

To be fair all we have to base Marshall on is what he did in college. And in college he was on a loaded offense and simply contributed with his awesome supporting cast. Shi was on a less than stellar offense and was forced to carry the entire passing game. 

There's gotta be a reason he isn't playing yet besides just Rhule doing Rhule things.

Maybe they also weren’t good picks. Brown has flashed at times, which isn’t great for 7th overall but his talent has showed up at least. Still not a good pick, but we’ve seen little to no flashes from the other two. At times, you are just making plays by yourself, rushing the passer or getting open. Neither has shown that they are better than easily replaceable.

I won’t disagree that coaching sucks but like Baker, there’s more than enough to see where his height has impacted us (batted balls and having to throw late to DJ) and his inaccuracy impacted us.

That is always the case, but I base my opinion  on the premise that I can see them going elsewhere and becoming stars.  Of course there are many variables--but imagine Marshall in New England or Brown in LA with the Rams--

Marshall showed a bit of a flash today.

He did? 7.5 ypr is flashing? Smith outproduced him on 1 catch. I’m glad it wasn’t a donut and better than his 1-2 catches for 10-11 yards per game in last year’s 13 games. 4-30 doesn’t scream 2nd round playmaker to me.

Maybe he builds on it.

He can’t control what routes McAdoo draws up, but he was targeted 4 times and caught all 4. Considering how anemic this offense has been, I’ll consider that pretty good…

When someone catches 4 balls for 30 yards, I’m not going to say he flashed. He’s a 2nd round pick in year 2. Sure our coaches suck but he was given a ton of snaps last year and a 6th round pick, who’s had his issues, had still flashed way more than him and overtook him. When he looks better than Smith and Robby, then he’s flashing. I’m not celebrating 7.5 ypr when Rhule was clearly trying to make sure he got involved more.

Honestly I can't evaluate poo on this poor excuse for an offense.  All I know is he went it and caught everything thrown at him.  That's better than a lot of our players on offense.  I think Moore caught 4/8 and yeah maybe some were uncatchable, but I have seen way too many drops.  Maybe "flashed" wasn't the right word, but he showed he needs more opportunity and doesn't belong on the inactive list of the worst offense in the NFL.

He's done more than Shi Smith has on any drive in one game.

Like be critical, but people can be happy that our 2nd round WR showed something none of our other WRs have - the ability to create some separation against man.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
