I think McCants has the physical attributes and skills to become a very good wideout in Gibbs' system, but he's not a consistent practice player (unlike Thrash and Jacobs, who are on-point for virtually every snap), and whether we like it or not, special teams ability (not just willingness to play on special teams), plays a huge role for Gibbs in determining who's on the game-day active roster. That said, without Gardner, Gibbs is going to need a big-bodied receiver, and McCants is the only one on the roster.
