I am sure you all read the tweets from TC since day one. Can't remember Waddle had any off day. Everyday he was popping. I am the kind that don't care about the size of contract or seniority, i want to play the players who perform.

How can you leave Waddle off the field? He should start game one, play one, as part of the base set, whether as boundary or slot. And i don't care if it means to demote Parker or Fuller. And especially Fuller, I hate the idea of just hanging the starting spot to him.
 
Coach Flores just said "**** that."

Just kidding but he doesn't like to start rookies. It will be very telling of his confidence in the kid if he does. I am betting Waddle does not start right away and will be trickled in sporadically.
 
Just because a WR is on the field for the first play of the game does NOT mean that he won't play more downs than the 'starter'. Look at Smythe's snap count vs. Gesicki's snap count for proof of this.

That said, I think Waddle's snap count will be really high if he remains healthy, but I won't be surprised if Wilson is listed as the opening day starter over Waddle.

I wouldn't mind having Wilson and Waddle as the starting set.

Fuller isn't playing V Patriots so Waddle will definitely start along with Parker and probably Wilson. Williams hasn't showed up yet and no one else is even in consideration.

Williams is not even in the conversation at this point. I take Foster or Hollins over him right now. He got playing last years because we had no better option.

True... but on week two, Fuller comes back and it'll likely be Parker, Fuller, and Wilson or Waddle to start. ...and that's OK... they'll all rotate.

Depends on how fast Fuller come back and how he does in camp. He needs to absolutely ball out in camp, or I hate to see him overtake Wilson or Waddle.

Defer to the vet maybe. Start Wilson/Parker and put Waddle in the 2nd play. They'll all get plenty of snaps
 
I fully expect Waddle to be in the discussion for offensive rookie of the year. I know that's a high expectation, but I think he's that good.

A little off topic, but a Parker to New Orleans type of trade could benefit Miami. I like Parker, but maybe the Dolphins could get a starting offensive lineman for him?

Gesicki is essentially a wide receiver anyway, Wilson is playing well etc. There's depth at the position.

I wouldn't against the Parker trade idea. The only reservation i have is the 'limping' with Waddle. I know he is catching and fly and all, but still like to see him few more weeks before i fully entertaining the Parker trade idea.

DVP is your best WR (until Waddle or anyone else proves otherwise).

Let's let Tua cook with his best weapons, please.

Your first sentence was valid and ended on first week of August. If Parker ball out once he is fully back, whenever when it would be, then we can reconsider. Right now, no longer 'is'.
