I'm not now, nor have I ever predicted he'd be a bust.

That being said, it's pretty ridiculous for a bunch of people to be laughing at the "CP Braintrust" for calling him a bust (they didn't, but I'm not going to argue about that right now) just because he's produced some pressures against backups and shitty offensive lines as the best healthy OLB on the team.

I and many skeptical people expressed some glaring concerns with Ford when he was drafted, and we brought them up again last season when he looked flat out LOST, even for a rookie, especially one drafted in the first round. Like, I've heard of drafting players for raw potential in the first round, but Ford had probably the slowest start to a career of any Chiefs first rounder since Sylvester ****ing Morris. And in 2015, he continued to show in preseason that he had yet to develop and hone a decent toolbox of abilities to play his position in the NFL. Now that he's starting, it's good to see that he's at least disrupting shit. It's a nice start.
