Fred doesn't grasp context....

Some?  He gave up every play on their opening drive....a la Pittsburgh.  He's making what....7.5?  I wouldn't call him a bargain.....but he sure plays like he was plucked from the bargain bin.

Exactly.

Even the best get abused by the better receivers sometimes.

Dre is not Pac Man but hes def more than serviceable and I don't believe he is the one blight on our secondary like some believe.

He gets abused by the best ALL the time....and by good most of the time....mediocre some of the time.  Before we paid him that money and lost Nelson....who would you call the weak link?  He's serviceable....that's it.
