He's been healthy enough, and he got a shot... he just blew it by not being good and losing out on the job against Josh Shaw, a 4th rounder who has a year less experience than him.
Here is a stat for you. Dennard played 30.7% of the defensive snaps last year. If you play nearly 1/3rd of all the defensive snaps, and people still believe you haven't gotten a shot, you probably just suck.
Dude is a first round pick and "the best rookie CB I have ever seen" according to Marvin Lewis, but got passed by Shaw on the depth chart.
I will agree with you that Dennard's career is a lot like Kirkpatrick's. They were both busts as first round picks.
Youre obviously sour on both players but to call dre k a bust is a pretty big stretch. Hes turned into a really solid starter. He may not be a superstar right now but hes a pretty good corner with room to get better.
