If he were "decent" right now, that would be one thing. I'm only saying maybe he becomes that 2 or 3 years from now, and he's already in year two. So in other words, we're talking year 4 or 5 for this guy to develop into something serviceable. That's not what you want when you draft that high. I could be wrong, and he ends up developing sooner, and becomes better than I'm projecting, obviously. But he could also never turn into anything, which is unfortunately the feeling I'm getting.

The 2 to 3 years comment was more of a hypothetical happy ending on my part.

Agreed 100%.

Originally I was predicting a 13-3 season..........I'll have a better feel in week 3 of the regular season. There are too many unknown variables right now. I feel good about DA getting us an additional win or two compared to last year. Now if we can just get the offense on track(specifically the guard play on a sluggish O-line) we can be 10-6 or 9-7.

Then they sucked me in and made me think we'd be better.

SP needs to go, I mean seriously. This is a **** show. WTF

So the discussion begins and rightfully so.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
