It all comes back to the people who do not realize how rare starting quality players are in the NFL. Being an average starter means being better than some other players who are starting in the league. And those other lesser players are staring because there are not piles and piles of quality starters lying around unemployed. In fact they are hard to find.
Sorry, but comparing an inexperienced Kirkpatrick who had injury issues that greatly affected his playing time early to MJ screams of desperation. Last year was following his first full year as a starter and he did have his struggles, but the intelligent individuals knew he was going to get all of 2016 to prove his worth and, although he started slowly, he did prove his worth by year's end.
Horrible analogy. Try again.
