Quote:End of the day, he was the only receiver on the roster aside from Ace Sanders with more than a handful of catches.  That would make him the most productive receiver on the roster coming into the season.  The fact that he didn't at least match his production from last year is on him.  It doesn't diminish anything he did previously, and it doesn't dillute the fact that when the season started, he was the best receiver on the roster.  Go back and look at my posts from that point in time.  You say nobody listens, but you seem to have encyclopedic knowledge of what I was saying back then, so you're contradicting yourself here.  I was very clear in why Shorts needed to be retained.  It wasn't because I expected him to finish the season as the best receiver on the roster.  Quite the opposite.  I expected at least 1 of the rookies to surpass him coming into the season.
