im not gonna lie and pretend he's a good receiver when he isnt, especially when people are asking why he's not playing like its a big conspiracy.

He was effective on jet sweeps and fly routes in previous years
You mean in high school? im sorry, but he had 7 carries all year last year which was his only year. you're either thinking of someone else or remembering his only two good runs. pretty much all of his useful catches (out of all 6 of them) were on go routes as well.
point is, you're claiming he was effective at anything because he had a tiny amount of big plays and sat the rest of the time. that's a big leap.

could be used effectively as a Wildcat with blocking backs and TE's.
what's the point when he's no threat to throw though? they're just going to stack the box on such an obvious play call.

Keeping him on the sidelines is just counter-productive for the offense, considering the number of drops being made by the WR's and slots.
how is it counter productive if he cant run the routes and struggles with the play book? i'd rather have a reciever drop the ball than not even be there to drop it.
right now, every receiver on the field is significantly better than him. speed is speed, but its pointless if you're running to the wrong spot and you cant change direction quickly enough to fool a linebacker.

And the comment about cutting with the agility of a 40 year old, jeez, would you be able to tackle him on a open field?
am i a D1 defensive back? no. so why even ask the question other than to defelct the discussion from the truth? the real question is, can he cut well enough to shake a DB off his route, and the answer is no. he cant. if he's not beating someone over the top, he's not beating anyone.
When in doubt, burn it down.
