Quote:What you must remember is TMD went all-in on Shorts being a bust. Even advocating for him to be cut last preseason. He was went all-in and lost big time. Now he goes out of his way to downplay any success that Shorts has.
 

Precisely.

 



Quote:mechanical? He just seems like a very rigid, stiff, player when I watch him on the footage. I don't see the fluidity, smoothness that I like to see from the WR position. He runs like C3PO. I'd be shocked if Shorts amounts to anything more than a backup WR in this league.


Quote:I think he has what it takes to perhaps hang on a roster for a short time, perhaps a couple years   or so.


That said, I don't see him ever eclipsing WR4 on the WR depth chart.


The last guy at WR we drafted that I felt looked "mechanical" was Reggie Williams, and we saw how that one turned out. AT least Shorts only cost a 4th rounder.
 



Quote:Jason Hill is going to be our Santonio Holmes type. M80 is going to be our Wes Welker/ Steve Smith hybrid type, and Jarett Dillard is going to be our McCardell type. Shorts is going to be our...next Ernest Wilford?...I can't even say that...because thats an insult to Ernest Wilford.


So, I guess we must agree to disagree here.
