I know he's been bad since his rookie year, but I'm not ready to give up on him yet. He has all the tools to be successful, and if he gets his head back in the game- can be a great 3rd option for Losman. He's still relatively young, was supposed to have hands of glue coming out of college (cough cough), is a great route runner, and we've seen him make plays over the middle. He can be a servicable play still, IMO. I think his injury this year really set him back in terms of progress (I thought he turned it on when Moulds when out 2 yrs ago).
I just find it crazy how everyone here seems like they've given up on him. How long did it take Brees to come on? Moulds to come on? WRs dont develop very fast (few exceptions).
The fact is- Reed basically only played half of the year in a new system. Granted he look losted at times in the beginning of the year, I have confidence in the great staff here to get his head where it belongs. All he needs to work on is simple mechanics, all the tools are there already.
