I know the last two games have been disastrous, but if there is any ray of hope that came from these two games, it's Chark's performance.

There have been several instances, both in the preseason and the regular season, where it appeared Moncrief gave less than optimal effort on deep routes.

Conversely, Chark has shown me several impressive things these past two games on deep patterns that Moncrief hasn't shown.

Chark has shown the ability to gain that last bit of last second separation.  It's not much-an extra step or two-but it's that last second burst that enables big plays to happen.

Secondly, Chark has shown the ability to make a last second adjustment to the ball to enable him to make the deep catch.  Against Kansas City, once he got behind the defender, he cut in front of him to cut him off and shield him from the ball.  It was a subtle move, but effective and impressive.

I believe he should be starting over Moncrief, if not now, then by after the bye.
