This team is so likable

I'll respectfully disagree with you about Kirkpatrick.  He was seriously terrible his first few seasons.  Then he had one good game against Peyton Manning and that bought him some breathing room.  Didn't the guy lead the league in PI penalties for 2 years?  If he wasn't grabbing, he was getting smoked.  And he was a horrible tackler on top of that.

I put BJGE on there not because of his running skills.  He was acceptable, but rather because of his fumbling issues that plagued him magically when he arrived here.  Certainly he wasn't the complete drag on the team like some of these other guys were.

I mean, the first bold is completely, FACTUALLY false, as he had 3 picks, 1 sack and 1 TFL in '13, playing exactly 1/3 (33%) of the snaps in the games he played in. That's a superb year and this was before the Manning game in '14.

The second bold is just misremembering on your (and many others') part: I don't know if he led the league in PI or not, but he wasn't always grabbing or, "getting smoked."

Guess Jalen Ramsey sucks as well then.

The horrible tackling is a 50/50 proposition: he was a decent tackler, but he is remembered for getting stiff-armed and such, which sullies his reputation. He wasn't the greatest tackler at CB, but he wasn't as bad as remembered.

Lawfirm, had fumbling issues?

5 in 526 touches with us, or 1 in every 100 touches. And only 2 were lost. So that's 1 lost fumble every 250 touches, or roughly once a year.

I wouldn't call that a fumbling problem: fumbles aren't ideal, but if you lose one a year, you can live with it.

As AU said, it appears that you are purposely singling outa handful of scenarios for some players, that occurred over an extended period of time: anyone can cherry pick like that.
