I think I bitterly joked 2 years ago that we JUST MIGHT know what we have in this guy before his rookie deal is up, and it looks like I may have been accurate with my cynicism.

No shit.

"It's his contract year.  Oh ma gerd he's gonna show us what he can really do!!"

How many times have we heard that kind of stuff?

Problem is...  he is a mid first round pick.  You know.  One of the guys we got from the Palmer trade.

So yeah.  The magnifying glass is going to be on him.

If we are talking about guys lower in the draft then there's a lot more room for excuses.  A lot less money involved too.

Look.  I just think his money along with a few other current players should be reevaluated.

It takes work and effort to do this.  Making tough decisions and wooing FAs to sign here.

Something I'm not so confident the FO is willing to do.  Then there is the loyalty to a fault aspect.
