Have you considered those Dogs?
I know, very disappointing. Niners are loaded with WRs. Would be tough for any youngster to bust into that starting line-up. The shine is off of Kapumpernickle too. Niners are struggling....like the Saints and Packers. If QP is destined to ride the pine, then he needs to be traded to a team in need of a good WR.
I haven't watched a game this year, but from what I saw last season, QP had trouble creating separation from NFL DBs. I don't know if that was because he wasn't fully healthy from the foot injury, but he didn't look very explosive to me last season.

He's stuck behind a bunch of very experienced WR's and he's the new guy. That's the long and short of it. SF is not a good situation for him or any young WR.
Saints could have used him like they did Lance Moore.
I don't necessarily agree with this. Just last year, the 49ers basically had Anquan Boldin and a bunch of nobodies (because Crabtree was injured). QP had every chance to prove he could be the man and be worthy of playing time. It didn't happen, so they went out and signed Stevie Johnson and Brandon Lloyd.

Isn't he better than Ellington though?

That's silly considering he was hurt and the nature of his injury. He missed over half the season. Plus Boldin performed very well and you can't discount Vernon Davis' effect. On top of that Harbaugh would rather pound the ball. It's just not a good situation for a young WR. Also broke his finger during training camp and that slowed him down as well. During a large portion of his rookie training camp he couldn't catch, he just ran the routes.

While I agree that he had some bad luck, didn't they just bring in Stevie Johnson and Brandon Lloyd? It wasn't like those guys were already there and QP got stuck behind them. The Niners brought them in because they didn't feel that QP was good enough to cut it rather it be from injuries or talent.
But how could QP prove to them they don't need to sign outside guys if he's hurt and not playing for what 2/3 of the season? They were proven talents available at a bargain and they'd be foolish not to sign them. Without PT he'll never get a chance to prove he can play at that level.
He played in 6 games last season (38% of the season), but he was also a healthy scratch in a couple of games because they didn't think he was good enough. I don't know what's going on out there. I don't follow it that closely. I know he's had some bad luck with a couple of injuries, but I also thought if he'd really shown them something in practice or in games when he was healthy, they wouldn't have gone out and signed two new starters during the offseason.
