Wasn't it reasonable to expect more than 13 catches and 89 yards combined from all three? You're making it sound as if we were expecting the equivalent of Irvin, Harper, and Novacek with these guys.
After minicamps, OTAs, training camp, 5 preseason games and 10 regular season games you have the coaches saying that they're still struggling with the playbook.
You can't tell me that these are typical rookie results. There are rookies throughout the league putting all our second round picks to shame.

At the same time, it's too early to tell who is most responsible for that production, and who will be successful in the future.
I think the chances that all three pan out after this rookie season are pretty astronomical. However, I don't think the chance is a whole lot greater that none of them turn out. And it's still too early to lump all three of them together as busts, especially when the most explosive and talented of the three is just now ready to make his way onto the field.
When Malcolm Kelly gets involved in the offense here, I expect those numbers to go up. At least give them these final six games to show they belong.
