I like this signing and I don't think its quite the scraping the bottom of the barrel that some seem to think.
He's not a Bobby Hart type of acquisition - he has performed at a high level in the league, he is being re-united with two coaches who personally coached him and so know exactly what they are getting - as opposed to conjecture based on reported incidents.
I'm hoping for more like a Thomas Howard type of impact - player of genuine starter quality who comes in and gives us an upgrade for a year (maybe more) whilst we wait for young 'uns/draftees to emerge.
That's what people are acting like, honestly.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
