Nobody knows how he was treated by the players,coaching staff etc in New York. Not one of them has had boo to say when OBJ talks crap or acts the diva, yet they spole on Apple, a easy target. Maybe he does have some growing up to do,maybe he was used as a scapegoat for a awful team. Thing is if he was a locker room issue waiting to blow you would think that one of the 3 former college teammates would have been spoke to. The guys 23,been in the league a couple of years of course he has some maturing to do. He will be in a winning team,out of New York and with former teammates, it could well be the stage he needs to progress. And if its not then they have lost a 4th rounder for a half season rental and they'll cut him in the offseason or next year. He was a high first round pick for a reason

Same as everyone here, i would have preffered Peterson, but i also wanted Peters last summer(actually i wanted him drafted the year he came out) but the cost would have been huge for a team with little draft capital and little space to move for the cap if they want to fill some gaps next year and keep Bridgewater and Brees on board.

I think he will give a few penalties away but he has the height needed for the NFC South and if he can just avoid getting burnt his side he will get the help on the backend from Williams.

Hopefully with him and Robinson being close to a return we can see some improved play.
Agreed. Everybody has personal issues. He's 23. He appears to have humbled himself and got back to work. There is nothing there not to respect.

I think we need not dwell on any of that unless he regresses somehow. People here I trust say he's an upgrade. So do the numbers. I'm satisfied. Now let's go kick the out of the queens.
