Quote:I think last year, the Jaguars didn't want to throw too much into the rookies. Remember that the team tried to throw the kitchen sink at Denard, having him learn RB, WR, PR, and KR and it proved too much. They likely didn't want to repeat the same mistake, not to mention that both him and ARob were in and out of the lineup with injuries last season.

 

Now, he's our top WR (according to Gus) so I understand why they wouldn't want him returning kicks.

All valid points SpeedyG. However I would counter with, is KR really that much (mentally) to handle? In Lee's defense, he did start slow with learning the playbook/injuries. But i'm not even sure they gave Lee a shot in the preseason.

 

Sidenote question: Do you have a link where Gus said Lee is our top WR? Or are you going by him lining up at X this season?
