Josh Reed - Start 'em or Bench 'em?

[Domibrader]

Next week: start Reed or Bench him?

I say bench him for a long while!

He is really hurting this team on offense with his drops. The last thing the offense needs is a player that drops almost every ball thrown his way. Bench him and give Coleman a shot at the 3rd WR sport and bump up Shaw to #2.

Took the words right out of my mouth

bench him, bring him in on 3 and 4 wide sets only. bobby has outplayed him all season!

[redeye5]

bench him or maybe cut him but at the very least put him on the practice squad

Reed looks terrible.

[sarcasm]I'm sure it's Gregg Williams fault.[/sarcasm]

This guy sucks!!! I was expecting big things from Reed and I was so excited when we drafted him but he is a bust. The guy has no speed whatsoever and he can't catch even the simpleist of passes. At this point he needs to be sat down for a few weeks so he can clear his head. He might also want to think about seeing a sports pyschologist. You have to figure that Bledsoe thinks twice every time he sees Reed open.

start coleman, loved this guy in the preseason. Iam not ready to say forget about josh reed, cut him and say so long, but right now the guy is not helping himslef or this team so a little change in scenary is good for both ends

[StillLurkin]

i wouldn't go as far as cutting him. i'd put him in the game but only in 3/4/5 wide sets. don't let him collect dust on the bench or he could be lost forever. remember, neither moulds or price did squat in their first 2 years.

I say that the only thing wrong with Reed is a fragile confidence.

I would try and put him in shotgun sets in the backfield with Henry/Gash. Then feed him a steady diet of screen/ dump off passes to help him rebuild confidence. If that doesn't work then pine time baby.

[robeezy]

He obviously wasn't ready for the 2nd spot. He's this years offensive version of Watson. "Your killing us out there!"

[MDFINFAN]

Sounds like you guys are missing Price just a little maybe..Reed is no Price at this point...If he can't be counted on, then Drew will look Moulds down...Reed better gain some confidence fast, or he will really hinder your O. Drew likes to get rid of the ball on a receivers break, if he feels the reciever will drop it, he's going to hold on to the ball even longer..Sack city...Reed can gain some confidence for a while, then he has to loose it again when Miami gets to town..

Cutting him would be a stupid idea. He could make a comeback next year. It's only his second year in the league. And you can't put him on the practice squad. He was active all last season and this season. He's ineligible after 6 games of being on the active roster.

Moulds was in this same spot in his second year. WAAAYYY too early to give up on Reed.

Eric used to be a huge bust before he broke out.

[Voltron]

You all seem to forget that it took Moulds 3 years to break out. I say bench him next week to get his head back in the game, Give coleman the shot at #3 and get Reed in there on certian situations. He is a good down field blocker for some reason he just can't hang on to the ball this year.
