why is everybody so down on Avant? He's a very experienced guy to have around...guys like Avant and Maclin who know the system are GREAT for a guy like Conley. Albert Wilson, DAT.....its not a bad group.

My gut feeling tells me Avant is a good teammate, locker room guy. Team morale is very important. It seems like some here would rather have a guy that's poisonous to team morale over a guy that enhances the overall team morale. Which to me makes no sense. |

Probably because he is considered to be maxed out, lacks explosive speed, and doesn't possess the possible storied journey of an unproven kid that might just explode onto the NFL scene.
He's just boring. Solid, reliable, and helpful? Sure.. but boring and temporary. Does this sound like a guy CP would approve of?

Bc CP is full of morons. Avant is the perfect guy along with Maclin to show these young guys how it's done in Reid's offense.

I bet Sean Smith didn't like him. He was only good on one play and thats when he played against the Chiefs.

I think you're wrong about Daniel. Even if Murray leapfrogs Daniel on the depth chart (which I find unlikely but whatever), he'll still have a valuable role on the roster. |

Avant has made an impression on every one of these young WR's (just listen to their interviews when asked about him) and he's helping them in ways that are different frome Culley/Reid. Let's say Wilson/DAT are out against a team like the Broncos. You'd rather have Hemmingway playing dropping passes on critical 3rd downs? |

13 catches? Sorry, those can go elsewhere. Then pay him $500k to coach, not waste a roster spot. |

Also, ask Jamaal how beneficial it was learning behind Thomas Jones as a younger guy if you don't see any value in a player/coach. He's likely our #5 WR this year it's not a ****ing waste of a spot at all. |

Conley, Wilson and DAT have next to zero experience in this offense at WR. It's logical to at least start the season with more than 1 guy who does.

The people ragging on Avant...must have no concept of football at a professional level. He was playing in games after being in KC for a week...in a system he hadn't played in for a few years. One of the more complex one's in the NFL...not only that but is wasn't exactly the same as it was in Philly.
I expect him to be on the same page with Smith this season...after OTAs, minicamp and preseason. He didnt have any of that last year..essentially just walked in. WCO needs a sure-handed possession WR that runs precise routes...and that is exactly what he is. That 41 yard completion was because he knew where to be when the play broke down.. |

^agree with blackop.
He's here bc he knows the system and has extensive experience in it. Wilson, Conley and DAT combined have very little.
