Because versatility trumps talent on this team.
While some truth may be in this, the "talent" that would get cut instead may be questionable.

every offense is struggling right now.. I feel your frustration,, but im optimistic... it HAS to get better..
Rushing efficiency as measured by Football Outsiders and adjusted for defenses faced (since Tomlin's arrival):
2007: -4.1% (20th)f
The team reflects the con man head coach, fat, sloppy with no attention to detail
Turn the record over, this side is broken.
Man, Cowher's players sucked ***....
Don't you know that you can only use the "Cowher's players" line when you are pointing out something "GOOD" that happened during Tomlin's time here? As in "We went to two Super Bowls and won one ....... with "Cowher's players."
Quoted just because.Wide receiver Derek Moye made one of the plays of the day when he caught a back-shoulder pass against Bills starting cornerback Stephon Gilmore. The grab came in one-on-one drills and Moye outfought Gilmore, a former No. 1 draft pick, for the ball.
Of course Cowher's players were 8-8 in his last season. /devil's advocateDon't you know that you can only use the "Cowher's players" line when you are pointing out something "GOOD" that happened during Tomlin's time here?

How ironic, considering Bryants first preseason game,, and everyone feeling that he is "so Raw".
This always baffles me as well. He spent 3 years as a WR at an ACC school. Its not like he just went from Punter to Linebacker.
Wasn't Sammy Watkins the primary receiver over Bryant? I assume he got several more targets, played against opponents #1 defender, started more games, etc. If so, I would imagine quite a bit of impact on his skills over Bryant.
Watkins committed to Clemson in November 2010. He was also recruited by Florida State, Florida, and Miami but decided to go to a school outside Florida.
Despite not taking part in spring practice, Watkins made an immediate impact for Clemson in his freshman season in 2011. He caught 82 passes for 1219 yards and 12 touchdowns in his first collegial season, including 10 catches, 155 yards and two TDs against defending national champions Auburn. He led the nation in reception yards per game, all-purpose yards and touchdowns. He also broke 11 school freshman records seven games into the season, including total all-purpose yards previously held by C. J. Spiller. He was an AP first-team All-American, becoming only the fourth ever true freshman to do so, joining Herschel Walker, Marshall Faulk and Adrian Peterson. He was also named a Freshman All-American by the Football Writers Association of America.
As a sophomore in 2012 he had 57 receptions for 708 yards and three touchdowns. As a junior he had 101 receptions for 1,464 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was the MVP of the 2014 Orange Bowl after setting an Orange Bowl record with 16 receptions for 227 yards. He also set the school record for career receptions in the game finishing with 240.
In January 2014, Watkins announced that he would forgo his senior season and enter the 2014 NFL Draft
Bryant attended Clemson University from 2011 to 2013. During his career, he had 61 receptions for 1,354 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Bryant announced on January 5, 2014 that he would forgo his senior season and enter the 2014 NFL Draft.
, if he was a finished product, or even a MORE finished product than what he currently is, he wouldn't have been drafted in the fourth round.
Thanks insanity for shining some light on this.
Ok hes not as good as Watkins.. but what was he doing for three years down there at a major school where Watkins was polishing his skills.? Maybe he was the field stretcher for Watkins.. ? I don't know.
