Who Can Lead This Team?

Perhaps, just perhaps, the coaches are not yet comfortable with Davis as a "reliable" weapon. We've heard how much he has grown and he has certainly made big plays. BUT, it may simply be a situation where the Shanny's want to make sure he doesn't backslide. I think it is clear with this coaching staff is that trust has to be earned. So perhaps as the season progresses, we see more and more of Davis as the coaches become convincced he can be relied upon through good and bad.

I don't believe hamstringing a player with a hot hand, that being, 5 rec for 105 against the Giants, and 6 rec for 86 and a TD against the Cardinals, is going to promote better production. If anything it would cause a level of distrust from the players perspective, because he's not being utilized properly in the system. Forcing a backslide to prevent a backslide doesn't really make too much sense.
