Everyone knew Clarke was a project, but we couldn't afford to have Geathers deliberately waste 640 precious snaps and have Clarke only take 69. We suffered tremendously.
You are still missing the point.
It is silly to judge a player based on his rookie season. I doubt if Geathers was the worst DE in the league considering there were lots of other DEs who barely saw the field. And there have been good NFL players who barely saw the field as a rookie.
What did James Harrison do his first year out of college? I could make a long list of other good players who did nothing their rookie year.
