Quote:That's not enough to say he's never coming back. Dave is doing what he's said he always would and treating Blackmon as a luxury. They're moving ahead with the assumption he won't be there so they won't be twiddling their thumbs hoping he comes back (like the Browns are) and if he does come back it's just icing on the cake.

 

sure.

 

now, what is the likelihood of him coming back?  That's the real question.  I'm not saying he's not coming back with full certainty.  But if i was a betting man, I would bet he doesn't play for us in 2014.  

 

And I think always talking about Blackmon like he's someone we can count on or even hope for is foolish.  I know it's fun to do, but always listing Blackmon as one of our receivers IMO is being naive.

 

All signs point to him not returning.  Forgetting about him sooner rather than later is a good thing for us because it's hard to think about how much talent
