Drew Sample is a Bum

While I still see Sample as a reach, according to where he was drafted, I do not think that he's a terrible player.  I think he is underutilized in an offense that funnels the vast majority of it's passes to the WRs.

That goes back to the question why the hell did we take a TE in the 2nd then?
