    During camp and the preseason, Britt and Quick looked to have the makings of a formidable duo making the Rams a threat on both sidelines. Quick is living up to the hype and more, but where’s Britt? He’s had what, 2 or 3 targets in 2 games? What’s up with that?

    It’s a good question. Here’s my speculative guess. (Is that redundant?)

    Hill and Davis are both backups coming into an offense. As such, they will tend to look hard for a comfort blanket. The 1st WR who gives them some reassuring catches will get a lot of attention.

    Right now, that’s Quick. With new QBs, I think it would be a lot to ask to hope for balance between Quick and other receivers.

    Having said that, Davis did a great job of finding balance as the game went on. Initially, it was all Quick. But by the end he had completed passes to a wide array of guys. That trend may well continue.

    Another point, of course, is that Britt, being more established, is getting more focused coverage. If that is so, it won’t last long.

    Quick has suddenly become the real deal. An elite QB would make him an All Pro. Even with modest QBs, he is becoming incredibly productive. Not bad for a guy we all thought was a bust. This brain trust has made a lot of personnel mistakes. Quick is one of their best successes, though it took 2 dead years for him to blossom.

    By virtue of the absurd ...

    Quick has suddenly become the real deal.

    And he’s not even completely polished yet. He’s a better version of the same clumsy kid he was before. To me that means he hasn’t even finished evolving yet.

    But very few guessed this was possible—> meaning, THIS: in 2 games, with 2 different qbs, he now has 14 catches for 178 yards. Projected across 16 games (which isn’t a promise, it’s just a way of measuring what he has done so far)…that’s 112 catches for 1424 yards.

    That would be something….WE might FINALLY have a 1000 yard guy

    Pretty sure that won’t be a might unless Britt comes on super strong and the balls are distributed among Quick, Britt and Bailey

    Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.
