OK OK, you know more than me. I just disagree.
No worries, and trust me, no one is more frustrated about Quick's slow development than I am. I have watched this kid the last two training camps, and he just stands out with his athleticism. I honestly thought he was about to break thru, especially watching the way he was such a big part of the gameplan at Carolina.
Then Bradford goes down, and the development of ALL the young receivers were stunted. Sure Bailey made strides, and yes, he was going to be counted on to continue to develop. But there is still too much young talent on this roster, that I don't see this being a huge deal. He will still get his reps in training camp. And if he is the "character" guy he seems to say he is, I would guess he will be even more focused on making sure he makes the best of training camp so they cant push him to the back of the line after the bye week.
But at least to me, this should be all the more reason someone like Givens comes in and refocuses on regaining his rookie year results. He came into camp last year like he was all that and a bag of chips, and it showed in the results. Between Givens, Britt, Quick and Austin, they should have enough to get it done.
I also think having a year under their belt, meaning Schottenheimer with all the new toys they had to adjust to last year, this system won't be so much like throwing darts on the board like it was the first month of the season last year.
Which can only benefit the structure for these young receivers.
