I don't recall people wanting him cut or piling on due to his abilities.
They just had higher expectations because of draft value.
Same thing with Dan Wilkinson. Then there are those who are anti-OSU wanting to throw digs.
Big Daddy & Andre Smith were solid NFL players with up and down seasons but in total performance they were above average.
People want superstars that high in a draft.
Comparing a 4th rounder who never was very impressive even at the college level is way different.
He should have been a project. Very raw and needed work and even after that he could possible be a solid backup in the NFL or perhaps never even make the grade.
As long as MJ is downgraded to project status or emergency backup. Cool.
Never say never on upgrading, but what have we seen that shows there is promise? What??
First of all a lot of people were calling for Andre Smith to be cut after his second season. There was a big crowd that absolutely hated him.
But why not forget draft status. Look at undrafted free agent Adam Thielen. Had a total of 20 receptions over his first two seasons. Then over the next three he averaged 91 for 1205 yds.
