Why is Austin Pettis starting? Actually why is he even on this team?

He has to be the biggest over achiever on the Rams team, which isn't saying much. Considering he drops way to many catchable passes and rarely gains extra yardage for the passes he does catch. His target/catch ratio is shit. He just sucks, period.

The argument I keep hearing for him is he'll make a spectacular catch. Yeah once every 3 games. Besides that he's just plainly average (overachieving) or just plain bad.

This is how I picture Austin Pettis. He's a 'very poor mans' Brandon Gibson. Gibby had his inconsistencies. But when he turned it on, he was on.

Pettis on the other hand is never on. He's always off.

I say we start Brian Quick and keep him in the games at all times. He is obviously still raw. But his ability and physicality totally outweighs Pettis' pathetic attempt of playing WR in the NFL.
