I realize Sharpe has let us all down, but if he was putting it all together, finally, it would be silly to just let him ride the bench because we have a promising young rookie. I think it's weird how people tie draft position to ceiling and floor that a player can play at. I'm not sure that's what is happening here, but I've seen that a lot. Can't get caught up in that.

All that said, I could see them both start a lot of games. I think they will both play a lot. I wouldn't get hung up on who got to play the first snap.
 
One win can mean the difference between making the playoffs or not. AJ gives us the best chance in the long run, but Sharpe is better prepared for game one.
 
Taj hasn't gotten better since being drafted

That's exactly why he fell to the 5th rd. He was as polished as hed get coming out of college

Ok. Just ball busting. That doesn’t make sense.

Mary isn’t an anticipatory thrower, he has to see guys open to let it go. Therefore he’d be waiting that much longer to see where AJ comes out of his break and where he moves in order to throw it. Experience with Sharpe matters

Cmon guys

That experience didnt come in to play last week on the safety sack. Sharpe just sitting around while the CB cuts his route off making Mary hold it too long
 
Sharpe's problem is he is slow. Not forty time slow, but in-game slow. He doesn't separate well enough. He doesn't run by anyone. He honestly should only be used on 3rd downs because that's where he excels. Brown has breakout potential. He needs the reps.

You mean like the ultra athletic Corey Davis? The problem isn’t with these WRs, it’s with Mary floating balls or waiting until guys are open allowing DBs to make plays.
 
How did a which receiver should we start turn into bashing the qb?

We’re we assuming a 2 or 3 wr offense? If it’s 2...I start Davis and Hump and mix in AJ. If It’s 3 I start Davis and AJ on the outside and Hump in the slot. Sharp is not a #1 or #2 wr so I don’t start him unless I need to.

My 3 Receiving options are Davis Hump and Walker. We’ll get AJ and Taylor involved too but those are the four wr’s I play when everyone is healthy.

I would hope we develop AJ to the point where we can stay in 3 wr the majority of the time like the Rams do to give us more favorable run options.

Only problem I have with this is starting Hump in 2wr sets. I prefer for Hump to work primarily in the slot. That's why I see us shifting to more 3wr sets.

I have a feeling Hump's going to be playing all over the place. Outside on 2 WR sets and inside on 3 WR sets. I'm hoping he turns into a safety net like DW.

Understand. That makes your point clear. The other way you said it was contradictory. Again- just bustin’ balls. I was bored.

You haven’t given up on Taylor?
 
I’d start Brown , I’d even start Taylor over Sharpe . I think Taylor’s gonna redeem himself lol. I hope

Not having confidence in and given up on are different. If I gave up on him I’d suggest we cut him. But I wouldn’t start him and I’d make him earn playing time. I was hoping he’d come in this preseason and show the hands he’s been working on. Not where I hoped he’d be. But he has value. That value is diminished when he drops the ball...especially big plays. And that value will be offset by aj’s developement.

If our two most reliable wrs are Davis and Hump now...who gets the 3rd spot in 3 wr sets? It’s a battle between AJ being ready and Taylor being reliable. Both will get chances but Taylor needs to understand AJ will get more just because he’ll get more familiar with experience so TT better make the most of those chances!
 
I would give about the same amount of snaps to sharpe, aj and taylor in the first half unless one of them shows out or looks like trash. Then whoever is playing the best after the first half I'd give the most reps to the hottest player. But, overall i wouldn't let any one of these guys think they have earned that spot and I'd make them fight for it.
