With his performance dropping off or non-existent for (now) 3 straight seasons tells me he has this one last chance to shine bright or we just wasted a bunch of money. A HUGE deal for a player who has barely seen the field. Really think we should have signed a d-lineman or o-linemen - for freaking 6-year $56 million contract. That's unreal for a player that hasn't produced the past couple of seasons.

I'm a little concerned.

Like always, I love to be wrong when it is beneficial for us. This just has a bad feel, a very bad feel. I think he will be pup until after week 6, which means that is at least 14 games in 2 seasons, yikes... and at some point he has to work into a position that requires the people to have a feel for each other. I am worried. I hope I am worried for no reason, but I have seen this story before.... and what do you want SP to say??

And contrary to popular belief I have had a chance to see him, he's in street clothes on the sideline daily
