Everyone seems to be really upset with his non-ability to catch the football, so why not just attempt to convert him to a DB, he has the speed, and he isn't depened on catching the ball everytime

That happens in college all the time .. but I just don't think there's the same learning curve available in the NFL. Who knows what he would be like as a DB .. adjusting to a new position on a different side of the ball seems like to much to me in the NFL.

Well, Warren Sapp did it.

I have an idea why not cut him and our front office admit that he was a lousey pick...

Sounds like a plan to me.

Why not have him play ST like Thrash did?? Maybe he'd make a decent returner???I'm not ready to give up on him just yet. Speed like that is alot harder to come by than great hands. I saw him make one catch in ps and he turned and ran well. I saw a playmaker in that one instant. Maybe he'll be ready for the slot in a few years?

Wanted to look him up to see if he played another position at some point in his college days...but it looks as if he's always been a WR. We have too much depth here, they probably need to retrain him for another position if he's gonna stay.

Honestly, he hasn't gotten the chance to show us what he can do in the NFL. He was out last year...and has played little/nil this year. He has some serious talent ahead of him in Coles/Gardner/DMC/Taylor...so it could be a while before he does get his shot.

Should we also dismiss Andre Lott since we have yet to see him extensively? (NO!)

Completely agreed. I can't believe people are screaming for his neck based on a couple dropped passes in pre-season.
