problem for him is how "stacked" our WR group is. Pettis needs to play, he's gonna get his chances because he was drafted so high. Taylor really hasn't played poorly, i doubt he loses a lot snaps in the slot.

unless he just completely looks unworldly, he's gonna be a guy who gets maybe 10 snaps a game. and if he is the real deal, that sucks because that's not helping him grow.

I'm hoping this staff is not afraid to play people over guys that are drafted higher or "highly touted" (Ward, Armstead).
Who are you going to play him over though?

If he makes the team, he'll be lucky to even dress as the 6th WR.

He'll be the primary back up to Taylor and I'll bet he'll get plenty of snaps because Taylor is going to have a hard time staying healthy.

Looked good last night, I think WR's end up being:

Garcon
Goodwin
Taylor
Pettis
Bourne
James

Is Taylor injury prone? Taylor is a beast, he played great while having the flu.

Agreed, the WR corps is very deep, I think Aldrick Robinson is decent and would make most teams, but he wouldn't make it for me.

Was impressed by James, but was expecting that kind of performance, kid can definitely play.
Not sure why people are stressing.

He'll get snaps and experience this year, next year it's another competition.

This...highly unlikely the 6th WR is even active game to game.

There's always injuries, so it's bound to happen.

He appears to be ahead of Pettis in the rotation, he actually saw action against the starters. I didn't see Pettis until Beathard was under center. Could be mistaken.

Nope.

With WR Trent Taylor out, why did you have WR Richie James Jr. as the slot guy? What has he done to earn that?

"Were just trying a few guys out. We think we have a number of guys capable of it. We've got a bunch of guys here trying to get reps to balance it out. We could have put [WR Dante] Pettis in the slot. We could have put [WR Victor] Bolden [Jr.] in the slot. We could have put [Kendrick] Bourne in the slot. We kept Pettis outside. We kept Bourne outside. If Rich would have got hurt, we would have shuffled them all around too. So, you don't want to look too much into it. We're getting those guys opportunities."
