Ok, i still think there are people on the team that are just as capable of returning kicks (ex.Calhoun). And if we are giving him his own package at QB, why use him?
ETA - we have way more WRs than than QBs...just doesnt seem like a smart play to me.

I think if he's good enough to get be our main KR/PR, let him play it

I would do it if he were the best choice and was good at it, why wouldn't you? You want him on the field to make plays on offense, where he does have a chance of getting hurt running the ball all the time. If he can help the team that way on special teams, with about the same chance of injury, why not?

We've had a problem the last few years with Trindon in that whenever he comes into the game from scrimmage, he almost alaways gets the ball and it's difficult to use him as a decoy since he's not going to be a very effective blocker.
I think what they need to do have Shep and Trindon in a package together where they come in and do some option stuff. That way you have to decide whether you're going to take Shep or Trindon on the same play

I think it's a great idea. I don't think anyone on the team has the combination of speed and moves that Shep has. Trindon has world class speed, but I don't think he has the moves and lateral quickness of Shep. Also, Lee should be an adequate backup, so it's no big deal if Shep gets knicked up.
One question to ponder. How often do KR/PR actually get injured. I can't even think of a game that I've watched in recent memory that one went down. IMO they have the same chance of getting hurt on any given play as any other player.
