Why Quincy Wilson isn't playing

"Didn't we just have a report from Dqwell Jackson saying Pagano is popular with the players? "

 

It's one thing to be liked and popular, it's another to be respected.

Agree. But if Bill thought they could contribute they would play. Look at the LaGarette Blount. A real problem child but played. Brought him back a second time to help them win a SB. Hightower is another case. If they are good enough Bill will find a way, if not they are out of there. 

 

It's hard to believe they couldn't find a way to make Kony Ealy work. Talk about a player who is good enough and can contribute, but for some reason, the Pats pushed him out the door. And it's not like they couldn't use him, they're struggling against the run and pressuring the QB.

 

Of course, Pagano is not Belichick, nor does he deserve the benefit of the doubt like Belichick. But throughout the NFL, there are players who fall out of favor with the coaching staff. Some of them get their playing time reduced, some of them get cut, some get traded. The way the staff is handling Wilson is far from unprecedented.
