I'm still far from giving up hope for the rookies.

I'm not giving up on them at all. I really like both of the guys you mentioned and think they have great upside.
I'm just reading the tea leaves from Marrone and Caldwell's comments. I think those two have an uphill battle to unseast a back-up, much less a starter. I'm in a similar frame of mind with Savion Smith at CB, and I think it would be amazing to see Stallings land a back-up role at guard as well. Ain't nothing wrong with depth and competition.

I just get so frustrated when i know certain teams feast on quick throws(Brady) and YAC to move the chains; and we are playing 5 plus yards off the line. When i see that and a 3 yard pass gets 2 yac to covert a 3rd and 4, im livid. Its like c'mon man. I just think if the players tighten up, we have 2 top man corners, to at least force teams to take chances in tight coverage or try trickery to move the ball. Our pass rush should hit home without blitzing too much with the speed we have on defense for coverage from LB and the back end.

There's a reason Brady feasts on quick short throws. That is, teams including the Jaguars do let him do have those because it's better than allowing him to have deep throws. The second you cheat up to prevent the short throw, Brady's throwing a deep TD pass.

It's true. Brady and Belichick used the same method against a number of teams. You sew up the deep stuff and they'll small ball you to death. The shear number of quick hit plays they can call up is impressive and they've gotten really smart throwing to their RBs of late. Increased use of receiving backs seems to be a league wide trend that our own OC is very keen on as well.
