    He's green as grass but has some talent. Give him time and some patience.

      I'm with NB. If you aren't a first round pick, that first contract might well be the most money you ever have a chance of earning.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        OK, so he's not a kick returner right now, but did you guys watch the Bengals game? He obviously has talent. He brings another dimension that Alex Green and Brandon Jackson could only dream of. Brandon Jackson at most? Come on. BJ was a 'barely-can-run, but he can protect Rodgers and we have nothing else' running back you kiddin?

        We had this exact same thread actually before that Bengals game if I remember right and everyone said he was a bust. And I said he'll be just fine. Dude is good, he's just not going to get any opportunities right now the way our backs are pounding the rock. Go back and watch that Cincy game if you don't remember.
        He was keeping GB in the game until that fumble.

At the time of the draft, he was portrayed as a heady player, good in pass pro, good receiver and a guy who should be a dependable kick returner. Yet time and time again he seems intimidated by the situations he is in, and makes crucial mistakes.

          A year on a practice squad would have been best for him.
          Even tho he has made mistakes I suspect we didn't want to risk exposing him by placing him on the PS. Wouldn't he have had to clear waivers at the end of TC first?

            First, thinking he was Cordarelle Patterson and running out from 9 yards deep, making it all the way to the 10.

            Second, running away from and watching a kickoff hit in the endzone and bounce out slowly when he should have caught it and downed it. Could have been a Viking TD had they gotten to it.

            Third, the should-I, shouldn't-I indecision at the end of the first half.
            I don't think ANY of our guys should contemplate bringing it out on kick-offs until further notice.
