Nothing anyone can say makes him a bust after one year brotha. There are plenty of players who did nothing their rookie years and went on to produce at a high level.
I’m not even sure what you’re arguing. The facts are that you don’t give up on a guy in year one regardless of how little he’s shown. He could very well be a bust, but it’s too early to say. Give the kid another offseason and preseason and let’s see where he is.
Also, you can develop in practice man you don’t have to play games solely to develop. How do you think guys down roster develop lol?
- This particular
rookie year will be a bust for Tolbert - but that does not mean automatically he will be a bust for his career.
Like i said, he could dramatically improve and raise his game starting offseason to next summer's end.
But i'm not one for chancing bypassing a WR in the draft, for the sake of hoping Tolbert turns the corner.
- I'm just again pointing out that per his draft value, a lot more was expected of him as a contributor. ..not starter, but contributor, a portion.
- And " practice " does not near account for actual game day experience. You start out with practice - but live game day action is what you're gonna be counted on.
That is gonna be the bulk and most key to your development.
When winning or losing stakes are on.. ..., when the lights are on you,, the stomach butterflies are reeling, .t.what you do, or don't do accounts for your team's success ..or failure.
There's much more responsibility and pressure to perform on the field.
And we've experienced plenty of guys that have came thru here that just lit it up in Practice,..
but once the lights of actual game day - even preseason games came on,..they just dried up and blew away elsewhere.
Coaches want to see if you're a gamer against competition. ..
