Like I said before, if media members who are saying Doss and even Williams are very good in practice were actually qualified to make statements like those, they wouldn't be media members, they'd be NFL coaches.
Because not everyone can be Calvin Johnson. In fact, most people can't be Tanden Doss. Doss may not be good enough to get on the field save for emergency situations. But that doesn't mean that there's some schlub on the street that's better than him. If every team cut every guy not worthy of being an average NFL starter, 53 man rosters would turn into 11 man rosters.
The bottom line is, the Ravens coaches felt that Dickson and Pitta were better as #3 / #4 receivers than Doss or anyone else last year for a majority of the snaps. Given this coaching group has won playoff games for four straight years, I'm not really sure why people here seem to think they know better than our coaching staff enough to say that we should be giving these guys a shot on the field.
When they prove they deserve a shot on the field for more snaps, they'll get it.
