Pretty positive statement on Coach Payton's performance (though just one week) to me...

Thats literally what happens everytime.

He gets injured, misses about 4-5 games, then takes another 3 or 4 to get back to playing how he was, then the seasons almost over.

The guy isn't unlucky, he's injury prone. He was a reach, that will never live up to the price paid for him.

Then accept sunk price and move on. To be honest, the majority of drafted players never become reliable starters or have any impact. Maybe later this year or in the future he helps us with our other Lombardi's. There should always be hope.

Because some people prefer crappy things.

Want nice? We're going to have an excellent chance of winning the next five games coming into Tampa Bay in the Dome with both Onyemata and Michael Thomas back.

I’m just happy that he isn’t out for the season. Whatever games he plays in he will be a force. First play of the game for the defense he stood the LT up with one arm and stopped Jones in the backfield.

Let’s just be happy that he will play within our rotation.

If he could stay healthy he would be a good guy in the rotation, not going to hold him to the standards of the picks spent as that's not on him. Looking forward to seeing what Granderson and Turner can do
