I really don't understand the constant lovefest for Tyms on here. Yes, I did like his physical talent, and I do think that with some development he could have developed into a good receiver, but I don't regret him not making the 53 man roster when he didn't earn his spot and there were other needs on this team. If we would have carried a 5th receiver on the roster, McNutt was far and away ahead of him. Both have good physical ability but McNutt was miles ahead in terms of production. If not him, I would have carried Bumphus, who was a far better route runner and would have been effective as a slot man in this offense week one if need be. We saw far more production from these two guys in the preseason than we usually ever do preseason receivers, and Tyms only briefly flashed in the last game. Tyms needed a lot more development and honing of his skills to be a contributor, and that's why his physical skill made him a PS candidate. When it came down to it, injuries dictated carrying help in the secondary to start the season, help that turned out to be sorely needed and contributed greatly to a 3-0 start.
In a perfect world, we would have been able to promote either McNutt or Tyms to the active roster once Gibson got hurt, but that didn't happen. We need to move on, because carrying Tyms on the active roster didn't make any sense.
