I hear you Colonel.believe me I hate coming down hard on a rookie. It sucks that he doesn't get a season to get acclimated But he is single handedly losing us football games. A first rounder should at the very least be a young dog with a decent bark....not a puppy chasing a ball. If he was a 6th/7th rounder thrown into the mix by circumstances out of his control, I wouldn't say much , But he's not even showing any ability to ever be able to stop anyone .
