I think you are understating what was in his control and not with injuries. We heard multiple rumblings regarding him sitting for injuries that he could of played through and his work ethic. Hes soft, plan and simple. He did awesome on those routes, sometimes. Other times he was knocked off his spot and didnt fight to get position. Softness doesnt play well for those sort of routes. He got by and looked good sometimes on pure size and talent. That doesn't play to winning/team ball at the WR department. You need guys that run the right routes. Guys that are on the same page with the offense and QB.
The only route that plays well with those types of players are the 50/50 balls. And even then you saw the lack of want to and lack of physicalness show up.
You don't necessarily need to be a big, tough guy to run a lot of those routes though. I'm not asking him to be Hines Ward or Anquan Bolden, and fight people over the middle of the field. More like work in open zones the way that Marvin Harrison, Issac Bruce, Donald Driver, ect. did. 12-15 yards per catch, over and over and over.
The new coaching staff needs to figure out a way to allow our receivers to operate without being molested at the LOS all game long. That BS has hurt is for far too long.

That's on the receiver, as well though, as part of their technique, to win those. Devante Parker was never a great route-runner coming out of Louisville, and I don't think he improved too much when he was a Dolphin, either.
Unlucky 13subscriberWell, whenever we do get another WR, I hope that he has all of the physical traits that DeVante does. Relying on the really tiny guys at the position just doesn't do it for me.

I'll always think of what could have been with devante, and hope that he catches on somewhere that uses him properly . our coaches have been such idiots.
I will not argue that he has misused, but he did himself no favors by being unavailable to practice and play. I say good bye and good luck.
Who's next ?

You dont need to be big. But you need to be tough. Cross routes you have to expect to be hit. Dont mistake those guys for catching a ball and then diving to the ground as not being tough. They were, they were just smart after the catch. But like invid pointed out, those are route running technicians. Parker is definitely not that. He got by on those routes by pure talent. Thats why I said he looked good, sometimes.

Unlucky 13subscriberI would really like to think that they've been having trade talks with a club regarding Quinn, and just couldn't get it done yet, for whatever reason. I guess we'll see.

Dorfdadforum_veteranAm I mistaken that clubs have to use up the cap or they get pentalised? What’s from keeping an owner bear bonesing it year after year while getting lucrative deals without putting a competitive team on the field?

I think they have to spend around 90% of the cap. (It may only be 80%, but there is a minimum limit.)
Dorfdadforum_veteranI believe we would get another compensatory pick for him??
