Malcolm Kelly possible cut?

I have no idea what kind of WR Kelly is going to be , however he looked very fast after the catch at OU . Hope like hell he has a great deal of desire and dedication , IMO he has the ability .

This is key.

We need people to earn their spots. I hope he makes the team but I am confident that Shananan is going to play the guys who give us the best shot at winning.

This is what is all about for Kelly and Thomas.
They have made the team the last few years on promise and potential. They have not earned it. It is time to SHOW on the field that you belong. It is up to Kelly and Thomas to do it. Not the coaches, the scheme, the QB...all of the excuses are old. Step up boys. It is all on you.

I hope they watched tape of Kelly vs. SanDiego, he had a great game. This kid has high potential.

San Diego had their 2nd and 3rd stringers in there.

Isn't Kelly considered a 2nd stringer himself? Kelly has potential, if given the chance with the new staff I think he will succeed. !st year he was hurt and out of shape, last year he got better towards the end of the season.

Ok, well sure we haven't seen yet what a good QB will do with our current WR's, and should definitely make them better, but how I still look at it is which of our WR's could start on other teams in our division, my answer is one, Moss. In order to win, you need more than one to be successful, IMO.

i get what your saying but again i say mabe, maybe not. if kelly or thomas had been drafted by a different team they might be considered studs right now. most winning teams have a stud wr. the skins are not quite a winning team yet.

I just don't think he's any good. I hope I'm wrong but everytime he's been given a chance he really doesn't get open. We'll see...

I haven't seen much from Kelly or Thomas since they were drafted. I had a wildly divergent opinion of the two as pro prospects since coming into the league, but their performances have been remarkably similar. Part of that is that they've had to compete with each other for playing time, because I feel that Moss had his touches scripted for him most of the Zorn era, and that Thomas, Kelly, and Randle El were sort of forced to work around him (and Cooley, when he was healthy).

It would have been nice if one had been much more prepared than the other and had taken all the reps and succeeded, but I think, legitimately, neither is ahead of the other.

It's really Shanahan's first challenge is deciding what to do with these two. He hasn't been impressed by either in minicamp. It's too early to throw up his hands and quit on these guys, but they can't be allowed to compete with each other any longer. One or the other really needs to be pushed into the spotlight and allowed to fail. With Cooley and Davis both getting their touches -- remember Cooley is learning to play all receiving positions in the offense so the Redskins can choose to get the ball to him without having to change the gameplan -- this isn't going to be a three receiver offense. That's more or less why Randle El was cut.

If Moss wins his spot in the starting lineup, one of the these two is going to have to learn to contribute on special teams for the rest of his rookie deal.

I just don't think he's any good. I hope I'm wrong but everytime he's been given a chance he really doesn't get open. We'll see...Kelly played really well at the start of last year, but when he got that finger injury, he really allowed it to cut into parts of his game that it shouldn't have. When it healed, he finished very strong with Thomas out. I have legit questions about his ability to perform with pain.

If there's anyone here that is familiar with his performances/successes/struggles at OU, jump in here, please.

If Kelly doesn't play well we all know what dreaded two letters are coming. T.O. I bet all of my skins nick-nacks that if they Kelly does poorly and they cut him T.O. will get a nod to see what he can do. I'm still out to lunch as to whether it would be good.

Kelly, I think is going to do good. He is a big deep threat especially with McNabb. We need to trade for Santana's little brother and let him return kicks. Two Moss's incase one gets hurt. We don't need no two Westbrooks though.
