he is wrong obviously... shorts is very capable and good WR, one trick pony hardly describes him... but i wouldnt say he doesnt have flaws.... the obvious being the injuries, which is the only thing that kept him from breaking 1k last year. i would say his biggest downfall is shier awareness... he concentrates on catching the ball and seems to not here the foot steps coming, which is what any wr coach trys to instill in their players, but its latent effect is that it can get you wr's busted up... couple that with the fact he runs routes at top speed and you have a good recipe for injury.... ive seen him get clocked a few too many times... i think on top of that his size plays against him in the since that db's will play more physical when they feel the guy is smaller... i know i did in school lol, u'd think twice before laying into a 6'2 plus receiver goin at top speed but i loved when a sub 6 foot guy who weighed 150 soaking wet would come over the middle lol.... IMHO, shorts will be an asset for years to come if he takes notes from the CJ2K hand book... i hate CJ but one thing i admire is his ability to avoid the big hits by being shifty enough to give hard hitters a piece but never full contact which is how you stay healthy.
