Jerry Rice wasn't Jerry Rice day one.
Now maybe none of these guys become plus players, but deciding that five games into year one is nuts, and I still don't see Veach and Andy going 0 for 4 on the position.
Moore isn't showing anything, but Rice is, and Toney's only problem is injury, and Ross showed us what a 6'4" receiver can bring. Let's let it play out.

I have zero issue with letting Ross and Rice play it out. But I also believe that these 2, particularly rice, have that “feel” I never saw in mecole and don’t see with skyy. Rice makes a lot of the wrong adjustments but you can see early on he just has a natural feel for the position. I think to o.city’s point while you can learn some of this, there’s also a lot to instinct and feel that you either have it or you don’t
