I'm done with him. Of course I hope he pulls off the comeback of a lifetime. But I don't expect anything from him so he can't dissapoint me ever as gain.
Before the draft, his college highlights were great. He never lived up to them on the field. That could have been chemistry because his fellow college linemen could have allowed his talents to shine through but his fellow pro linemen may not have. Let's hope that part of his failure was Philbin and his staff.

Hell ya. I'm all for it. But I expect nothing so I'm not disappointed. Its that simple. I never liked the guy from the start. It was a bad pick and I prayed we traded with the Eagles for a 2nd rounder back when he had value. I hope the 4th time is the charm. or is it the 5th? I lost count..........
I question how much of what made him great in college was the performance-enhancing drugs. Remember Tony Mandarich? Once he stopped the steroids he became mediocre.

I read he's out of shape right now. Philbin's lack of wanting rookies on the field and Jordan not being in the right defensive scheme seems like an instant recipe for failure which doesn't surprise me.
He could be the Jamarcus Russell of the Miami Dolphins or otherwise - we won't know until he can get on the field. I've already chalked him up as a loss so in my mind there's nothing more to lose with him. He may still have a chance at salvaging his career though playing under this coaching staff.
Last month his trainer posted photos of him and he looked pretty much in shape. What happened in 30 days? I doubt he let himself go this close to being reinstated. Im just ready to see if this guy is ready to go if not the end will be quick.

I predict Dion Jordan is not going to make the 53 man roster. Between the year off, rehabbing the knee and his weight (in the video he doesn't look like someone who spent the year in Better himself in the gym). I just don't see him making the team as DE and he is probably too heavy to be a LB and learn the LB position.
He is a bust. 3rd overall pick, 4th year in the league with minimal impact, 2 suspensions and now he is injured and doesn't seem to be in top shape. He maybe able to salvage his career but his is the definition of a bust. If theoretically he is able to pull it together to be impact player and show all the talent and promise, all his 4 inexpensive years with the team are gone and he will be command market price.
