It was his play during the pre-season that made me think that he wasn't ready for the NFL and needed a ton of more work. He was getting abused by scrubs out there. Still believed that he had the physical talent to be great, just wondered how long and if he would ever get there after how poorly he played in the final pre-season games.

But look at where that gets us...
It led us to give up on Eric Fisher, who's actually playing pretty well right now
It led us to trash Knile Davis and Travis Kelce last year
It led us to demand Santos get cut ASAP even though he's hit his last 6 (including a big one today)
It led to people asking if Gaines should be on the roster if not for his draft pick
In exchange, people were livid that Malcolm Bronson wasn't getting a shot.
Like I said before, the preseason is a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE place to evaluate rookie talent these days. It's a reality we have to deal with until the players negotiate a new CBA.
