I thought there was a lot of misuse of Walter and JJ this year.....
Throwing to JJ on short routes over the middle (that he had trouble with) like he's a possession receiver? I'd give that stuff to Walter.... Walter's got the better hands and doesn't mind getting popped... Walter didn't get targeted near enough this year and from what I saw, it wasn't because he wasn't getting open. More than once last year I saw the camera show Walter open for a 20-yarder but Schaub usually took a shot at someone a bit deeper...
JJ, IMO, is better suited as a deep middle/deep threat. When was the last time they went bombs away to JJ? Last time I remember was a pre-season game with Grossman throwing to him (successfully). Would have liked to see them run him deep and actually throw it his way several times a game. I've always been a fan of keeping the DB's on the other side backing up and spreading it out. I'd have JJ running wind sprints downfield everytime he was on the field even if it limited him to 15-20 snaps/game. A guy doing that can take two people out of the play... I'd put it in the mind of the opposing DB's that whenever he was on the field, he was going deep - and hopefully open up lots of underneath stuff for AJ/Walter/Foster/Daniels/Dreessen/Anderson.....
