McClain and Fua are useful? News to me.

unless people really expected Suh out of two 3rd rounders in their rookie year (I know right LOL), they've shown enough flashes to think they could be solid contributors in the future...

So the only two possibilities for a rookie DT is either Suh level or garbage with "flashes"? It's our dildos GMs fault for making us rely on them so heavily, but there's no getting around they were some of the worst starting DTs in the league when they were starting. It doesn't matter how old or young they are- they were called upon to play and thus had certain expectations put on them that they did not live up to.

um... it does actually. rookie DTs will rarely look good, or even average, whether they were called to play or not. They were put in to gain experience.

it's obvious most people can't comprehend that...

no offense, but how do you expect a rookie DT to magically rise to your exaggerated expectations?

90% of rookie DTs come in the league with bad technique and hands, taking 2-4 years to rise to these NFL starting quality expectations. Just because they were thrown into the fire doesn't change that, regardless of how irrational fans want to be.

and Hogan gave me the impression he could start next year..

I actually like this thread.. there are people going around acting like Cam was the only pick just to rag Hurney..

The people that do that though truly do not understand the game nor the business of football. I suppose that they have their opinions as well though. :icon_bs: :tongue:

I'm excited to see the development of this and last season's rookies. Gettis, Hardy, LaFell, Hogan, and the DTs especially.
