Next you're going to tell us how preseason doesn't matter.
The lie to that is that there isn't a coach who won't tell you that preseason does matter because it gives them the opportunity to see if that practice translates to real game situations.

He got a roster spot because we need safeties and they think he's the best we can do. He's on the roster because they compared him to shit and decided he was the better of the shit. Again, it's not like he's bumping off studs to get a roster spot. For crying out loud, people on this board are outraged because he got a roster spot over a guy who didn't make ANYBODY'S practice squad.
Preseason does matter but it matters a hell of a lot less for a rookie, especially given new rules of the CBA. Knile Davis looked like complete dog shit last year. Dontari Poe was a disaster his first year. Branden Albert was a disaster. I would hope that in the first preseason the evaluation has a shitload more to do with the overall picture than a few preseason games. Bronson on the other hand... he had a full year to learn the defense and to know what it takes to play in the NFL. It's not even close to a fair comparison.

Sorensen's practice didn't.
He has no business being on this roster, and the shit you're selling is still just shit.

Apparently most teams agree about Bronson too. I don't see you calling out people who are on here treating Bronson like he is some kind of high upside player. At least I'm realistic to know both Sorenson and Bronson are probably going to be shit.
