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

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

Because you only get 43 spots on game day. Gettis has emerged as a better WR threat then Edwards so he gets the start over him. If we activate him we would have to put a ST person or a Defensive player on the inactive list. Really can you say Edwards deserves that spot more then any guy on that field?

I want to see him get a shot but I'm willing to wait. I'd rather see him get the nod over Jarrett at this point though.

you actually get 45... but eitherway... we only know of Edwards by what we are hearing from practice...

we could find a spot...

i don't disagree with you here... i'm just frustrated with our ability to develop players that actually need help learning to how to adjust...

and we have to trust our "coaching staff" that they're doing the job.. See Jarrett

It's a little of both you gotta have the will and drive to WANT to get better as a player. The coaching has to guide these young guys as well let them play and get experience. They both go hand and hand I think it's a mixture of both of those things.

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...

I don't know about that.... Seems like this is the same thing that was said about Colbert and others and they did little after leaving Carolina. If you look at past draft the % of WR that actually develop into decent players are small. I think it is just a hard position to become effective in the NFL unless you're on Peyton Manning's team.

He is learning through the week in practice. Route running catching the ball and blocking. Once he ready he will be active.

ha ha.. okay :rolleyes:

you play rookies when they have the fundamentals at their position down. every team does this. edwards doesn't and he won't for at least this year.

he idea that they won't play him when he's ready is pretty silly...esp. when we are looking at a new coaching staff next year.

anyone thinking that edwards would be ready this year isn't thinking realistically. he could play this year but chances are he won't and if he does i wouldn't expect much.

so you're saying he'll develop his skills better in practice..?? na.. he should be active or we should have drafted someone else in his spot... imo

we should find a creative way to use him...

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
