rookie development .. wrong players or wrong coaches?

First.. let me say I'm not a Fox "hater" ... but I often question some of his play-calling (we all know he controls both sides of the ball)..

But more importantly.. I can't help but wonder how some of the rookies that are considered a "bust" ... such as Jarrett and so far A. Edwards would develop their skills in a different system.. (not all rookies .. these are an exception)

Has Jarrett had a chance to prove himself? When will A Edwards get a chance to get a "feel" for the game..?? I'm not saying to surround your offense around them... but maybe a few end-around's to Armanti? or a few short passes just to see what he can do.. maybe a wildcat here and there..

Is it the inability of the players ...?? or is it the inability of our coaching staff to develop these talents..??

It sounds like not learning the playbook is an excuse ... if you have a player that could benefit your organization .. hire someone to teach them .. make it a top priority .. We only have 3 plays!! It can't be that difficult!

I have a feeling Jarrett will go to another team if we let him go.. and be a decent receiver... not an all-pro receiver... but he's a big, physical receiver that would be the perfect "short-yardage" type receiver...

just my opinion...

Personally, I don't consider Edwards a bust. Takes two or three years for a player to truly become a bust.

I don't either .. but in the face of not drafting a "receiver" in his draft spot .. for our purposes and needs many consider him a bust..

but I guess my point in the thread.. was that he hasn't seen the field!!

Based on his draft position (and salary).. he should at least be active..

They reached for him defiantly. But since he is here now he will need two years to develop. He is in a position he hasnt played but his athleticism will help him out. Give him some time to see how he develops and consider the next two years as his rookie years.

I agree.. but how can he develop when he's not active??

I totally disagree with how rookie's are developed in our system..!!

Why put a player out on the field when they are not ready. That would set them back more than help them. Just because they are making alot of money shouldnt be the only reason to start them. He wasnt a true WR coming out of college it will take him a year or two to get it down. I would rather be patient with him and develop then to throw him in games all year and he gets scard and doesnt develop.

.. and I could argue the other side to say .. how will he learn if he's not out there..?? that's been Fox's philosophy for too long...

I don't mind being patient.. but we've already tried that with Jarrett...

it doesn't work.. IMO

maybe for a later round pick.. but if you see something in a player that makes you want to spend such a valuable draft pick on them... they should be playing.. it shouldn't take two years to get them on the field...

like I said.. just my opinion..

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
