Dude. 
C'mon. 

Go watch Agnew's routes again. 
He's not a polished route runner and his hands are not great either. 
There's a reason he's been a return guy for this many years. 
He's fine for a package of plays at WR, but he wasn't the best receiver last year - he just provided some spark when we were down and out and you're letting that color your perspective.

Bothe Jones' and Kirk are better route runners and have more consistent hands.

I didn't say Agnew was good. I said if he was healthy, he'd be our best receiver. This is a testament to just how bad our receiving unit is.

Maybe Kirk is a better roue runner and has more consistent hands, but he is still an average slot receiver at best and when Agnew did catch the ball, it was usually for a substantial gain. Marvin Jones is done. There is nothing left in the tank. He stunk last season, as did all our WR's.

They both have play making ability when given the ball in space. They just do so with different skillsets. One is agile and elusive while the other is a challenge for secondary players to tackle singlehandedly. 

The problem trying to make Agnew your gadget guy is that you open him up to injury and rob yourself of a return specialist -- which is exactly what happened last year. 

If they both make the roster it should be easy to have a page in the playbook for both of them and not over-expose Agnew to injury potential. 

Shenault needs a good camp an preseason to right the ship.

If Shenault makes this roster, we have failed to upgrade the WR unit.
