lmao, give it time, we don't need jenkins to be a star immediately
They will make mistakes. Akers and Jacobs come to mind.
i dont like morton as the WR coach. i think we should try for a WR guru next season, if there are any out there
Morton has done just fine. We made it work last season with a makeshift receiving corps all season. Not to mention Crabtree has continued to get better and better under Morton. I'm sure having Randy has helped a little this season but you could see Crabtree making strides last season and begining to develop into a more complete receiver then. At the begining of this season when everybody was healthy, our receivers looked really solid. Lots of great coaches miss on talented players all the time and thats because everybody that enters the NFL is talented. Sometimes its about commitment from the player and less about the coaching.
With that said, we need to be patient. This kid is still very young. I thought it was understood when we drafted him, we were drafting for potential and not immediate success. Look at how terrible Heyward-Bey was his rookie season when the Raiders drafted him. He hasn't developed into a stud or anything but he is a dependable deep threat for the team and has had a couple decent seasons. He probably would have had an even better season with some better quarterback play this year. This is of course all moot anyhow, because the point is. Be patient, we haven't needed this kid to have his moment yet so give it time and see how hard he works for it in the offseason.
