It is silly to judge a player based on his rookie season. I doubt if Geathers was the worst DE in the league considering there were lots of other DEs who barely saw the field. And there have been good NFL players who barely saw the field as a rookie.
What did James Harrison do his first year out of college? I could make a long list of other good players who did nothing their rookie year.
I kinda knew you were gonna say that.
I am in no way giving up on Will Clarke. I am merely saying I can't believe the coaches didn't play him more and choose to play the ever struggling Geathers. Even if he wasn't ready to play any more than he did, he couldn't have done worse statistically given 10 times more snaps.
But I assume I have no way of knowing this, right?
