Probably doesn't know the playbook yet and/or Fox is using this to teach the young man that he must earn it here. I personally think Smith, Thomas, and Gettis could be potent. Throw in "Hands" Lafell and "the project" Edwards, the future at WR is bright.

I'm with you on Smitty, Gettis, and Thomas... But I don't find anything bright with LaFail. I still have high hopes for Edwards.

Yeah, I figured it might be the playbook but I asked Gantt about it because Clowney played his first week here, although Smitty was still injured. Gantt just tweeted that he believes Thomas is the most talented guy out of everyone other than Smitty, so it must be a comfort level thing.

Yeah DG just tweeted back and said the same thing I thought above - Clowney playing his first week here had more to do with Smitty's injury.

So really he's had 3 weeks in the offense now and Devin only 2, IIRC. I'm sure we'll see him next week, if not, we may have Rod Gardner 2.0.

Thomas is vet. Why the heck would he be inactive in place of Lafell thats dropping everything. I was expecting to see Smith, Thomas and Clowney. It's been two weeks, I'm sure that Thomas has learned enough plays to play in this simple offense we've been running. Yet instead, we keep a rook active thats got bricks for hands. And what about our TE's, I think that all three are active. We could've deactivated one and started another WR. Ohh may bad, I forgot about our simple offense or coaches.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
