Do we want to talk about the regular season too? He had a stretch of 5 games where he played adequate towards the end of the season. Beyond that, he was terrible. Sure we didn't have any better options but you're kidding yourself if you think he was a good player this year.
"Oh man Apple made that game saving tackle at the end of the half!"......forgetting Apple already gave up a stupid PI, a TD, and long bomb reception before that...
People, for whatever reason, have a short memory when it comes to Apple and i just don't get it. He's made a career of being a failure.
I have to disagree as well. Eli Apple wasn't bad this past season. Does that mean he is irreplaceable? No, not in the slightest. He wasn't great by any stretch but he played well and I would be happy to keep him, assuming he maintains his play. He'd be a fantastic depth corner. He played 93% of snaps and had the second lowest passer rating allowed, only behind Chidobe (75 for Chidobe and 86 for Apple).
Saying he was "terrible" is objectively false, not sure what else to say.
