I raised Taylor and Herbert because if mistakes of this magnitude can happen with an NFL head coach (even though it was Lynn, sigh), then, of course, a lesser mistake can be made. And Staley already made one mistake by playing Tillery as he did last year.
Based upon his and Telesco's comments (both last year and this year) versus play on the field and how (when) Palmer was drafted, I think the evidence is pretty strong that Staley and Telesco have a clear bias in favor of Palmer, which works to the detriment of other WRs not named Allen and Williams (who were good players before Staley arrived).
If you actually look at the numbers, it is pretty clear that Guyton was better than Palmer last year and it is totally obvious that Guyton's deep speed complements Allen and Williams far better than Palmer's game does.
However, many people on this forum are simply offering up false assertion after false assertion about Guyton that I have repeatedly discredited by showing what the actual statistical reality is. The nonsense posted about Guyton not getting separation and not being effective when playing is particularly telling when the stats show that he was our best WR at gaining separation and he produced the highest passer efficiency rating when targeted of all of our WRs. And that passer efficiency stat completely destroys the nonsensical assertion made about Guyton being "nothing more than a one trick pony" even though Lombardi clearly underutilized the "one trick".
