Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 664499">Was his rookie year actually promising, or was I deluding myself?  I refreshed my memory, so I'll refresh yours:[MEDIA=youtube]6kGymW5Qcug[/MEDIA]For those saying he cannot run in the middle, this tape debunks that.  In fact, he's a possession receiver, on the rookie tape and in the stats.  Of his 38 catches, 61% went for first downs.It's an insult to the intelligence when these reporters put him on the bubble for even a #6 spot while not even mentioning he played injured or that he was miscast as the #1 in his second year with slow-as-molasses complements at WR, TE and RB who opened up nothing, and a slot who looked to be struggling himself.Whether Adams  can be more than a #2 complement/possession guy, who can say, but putting him on the bubble is extremely premature.As a reminder, consider Nelson:<a href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/11270/jordy-nelson" target="_blank">http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/11270/jordy-nelson</a>He did not break out until his 4th. season, and as I recall McCarthy said he was adding to his route tree going into the 5th. season.Out of one side their mouths fans (and reporters) laud the draft-and-develop philosophy and then out of the other side they expect veteran performance from an injured second year player.The idea that he would not make the roster borders on ludicrous.</blockquote>
