Austin, dont ban me... but I'm not sure that theres anything anyone can say that isnt going to piss you off about this.
Reid is a guy who has gotten decent production from the likes of Baskett, Pinkston, Thrash etc, if Hemingway had anything more to offer than what he's shown, doesnt it stand to reason that Andy would find a way to pull it out of him? As of right now, Andy hasnt watched tape and said to himself "wait a minute, I've been remiss here, look at this kid go"... if he has seen anything that makes him want to get Junior more involved, he'd have definitely involved him by now, 4 games in. |

My biggest complaint about this thread is related to the useless comments like "well he just sux0rz!!!!!" or "he's trash." Fine, anyone has the right to FEEL that way but I am looking for something useful being added to the discussion. For those that say they don't care... that seems like a strange attitude when he is an active player on our team and is seeing so many snaps. |

WHY doesnt he have more to offer?... well, I guess many of us are simply seeing different things from him when we watch the games. All of these attributes being given to him by yourself and others arent being seen by others among us. I'm not going to proclaim "my" side 100% right, either. My argument, is that a head coach well known for rolling with somewhat lesser talent outside at times - and getting them to play above their heads - isnt doing much to push Junior into the spotlight... and that says a lot to myself and others. He isnt getting more looks, because he cant handle more looks... IMO. |

The problem i have here is that no one is willing to actually go back and look at the tape to see if they really are seeing anything different from me. Instead people just roll with how they "feel" they have seen him play. Which I why I broke down a number of series' and showed what was going on. Yet, people act as if that is all make believe... fine, I am willing to be wrong but at least have the decency to actually LOOK at the damn tape before making that assertion.

Your question doesn't have an answer beyond "he simply isn't as good as you think he is". Why isn't Vernon Gholston sacking QB's? Because he just isn't that good. Judging by his measureables, he should be though, right? Hell, why isn't Frankie Hammond getting more love? He's faster than Hemingway is. What about Mark Harrison? 6-3 230lbs and runs a 4.4 forty. Why isn't he on the field making plays? He has good hands...good speed and certainly the frame for it. Point is, you see guys like Hemingway every year and they do nothing. He simply isn't that good. Why isn't he that good? Who freaking knows.

The tape doesn't back you up on this. Please provide some proof like I already have. If you are saying, he isn't put in on many passing plays because he wouldn't get open on those plays... I can't argue that since it is pure conjecture. It's certainly possible.

And also, what tape? Telecast footage? Because we can't really see much from that.

What exactly is this telling us about Hemingway other than he couldn't get seperation on this play?

Wasn't it Hemingway that was too ****ing slow to throw a block on Bowe's long catch and run in the playoff game that would have been an easy TD? Then the Chiefs failed to score from the 2 and ended up kicking a FG.
Ya... **** him. |

Well, he WAS underutilized until the opening drive of the SF game. I'll have to check the coaches film but I saw at least 3 plays where he was asked to be a passing option and of course he was targeted twice and caught both. This is how I see him being effective. Nothing more, nothing less. |
