Perriman would get more snaps if he deserved it

Or Marty just doesn't know how to use him because he's clueless.

Now that we're officially out of playoff contention, I'd be shocked if Perriman doesn't start and play a large majority of the snaps this week.  Time to get him some exposure and see what he can do with some consistent playing time.

He isn't on the field dropping passes.

I hope so, give him the trial by fire. At the very least he'll get some experience.

He's also not taking it to the house on a crossing pattern.

Demaryius Thomas has the dropsies on occasion as well so I guess he shouldn't be on the field either, huh?

I think the biggest part of Perrimans' future development outside of his hands and routes has to be learning how to use his body to shield defenders away. That could have been a TD yesterday if he had jumped to catch the end zone pass, using his body to shield the ball. As it was, he was able to reach for the ball but so did the defender to knock it loose..

Even if he got better at shielding defenders away, that wouldn't have been a touchdown. It was simply thrown too high. I doubt anyone in the league, other than maybe Gronk or Dez, could have made that catch.

Perriman drops passes, thats an observation. I'm not predicting his future.

I think now that he's had a full season, he will hunger and thirst for greatness.

He has the physical tools and has the great intangible of having a father who actually played the same position...and he grew up around Michael Irving and whoever else.

Remember this - OBJ, Mike Evans, Amari Cooper were all anomalies. Sam Watkins and Brandin Cooks to an extent as well.  

2013 was more like it. Remember how people on this board were clamoring for Tavon Austin?? He went #8. Cordarelle went 29. Neither have done anything. Keenan Allen went in the 3rd round and as the 2nd most productive WR from that class, he's never stayed healthy. DeAndre was the big prize but even he didn't blow things up immediately. He got to learn in year 1 from Johnson. Breshad was injured all year 1. And in year 2 he got to make some plays while learning from Steve and Mike.

Everybody pump the brakes on calling him a bust.

Would certainly help if we had competency at the OC position but unfortunately the year started off with Trestman, only to end with Marty M.

Sorry friend but I can't agree. He tried to catch the pass from ground level allowing the defender to get a hand in there. If he had jumped for the pass it would have made the catch much easier and the natural position of his body would have shielded the defender out of the play imo.
