He does suck fundamentally as a WR, but better coaching would fix that part of his game and make him a more complete player.

Austin is what he is. He is not a receiver. No coach in the universe can or will make him into one. You can see it--the lack of confidence in what he's doing when he has to stretch himself and do things he's not as good at.

Austin is exactly what he appears to be---a multiple weapon who can make catches (but not impress you with a full route tree), run the ball, be a decoy, make plays. And he's good at that role, and that role has real value.

The way they used him last year is optimal. Trying to make him a pure receiver wastes plays and resources.
