Maybe that's not his fault, but the coaches should have benched him at some point.

He wasn't awful at the position, he just had the deck stacked against him a little bit. I think you're misunderstanding what I meant by "fair shake" as in he didn't get an opportunity, I meant fair shake as in he had bit of bad luck to start off with.

But like I said, that's the NFL, even Cam Jordan had an off year. It happens, and that's just too bad.
