[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 668269, member: 10086"] Just before the 2014 draft I thought we would grab a KR in free agency (aka Devin Hester) or even possibly go a surprise 1st or 2nd day pick at KR. When following the draft on a live comment board, I called a KR/WR to be picked minutes before we acquired Abby. We had been in desperate need of a solution. The Pack had been in "Will Blackmon" experiment mode (with or without Will) and it was a glaring weakness we needed to plug. I think the type of injury Abby sustained early in his rookie season and the moderate success using Janis as his stunt double at KR made us reconsider his role at KR and the two players reversed roles. I honestly don't think anyone guessed Jeff would also lead the team in ST coverage. As You said perfectly Larry, it's not unusual to faulter a bit until you get in Rythmn. I think it's completely unfair of Whimm to pick out a small segment of statistical information on a player that's essentially a "Rook" by most standards (even IF he has 1 year experience on a 2nd string Offense) as much so as us supporters using his 1 big game as evidence of his performance in totality. I believe somewhere inhe tweet those 2 arguments lies the truth. In reality, it is very possible we continue to use Jeff where he has the strongest proven production.. ST From what I've seen. Monty and Davante trump Jeff in the short term in the top 4 WR until proven otherwise and although I'm not happy with Davantes performance as of lately? I think Adams has the overall talent and experience to get another look as our #3 which allows Monty to be a backfield/slot utility Wideout. I won't be surprised at all if they give Jeff a 3rd year in the system before slowly transitioning his role in 2017-2018. He's young and has plenty of time to be a seasoned WR, he's got an immediate value at ST and the reasonable thing to do is not give up on 2nd round talent in Davante this early. [/QUOTE]
