Also interesting to note that many of the fans who complain the loudest about Sample wanted us to use that 2nd round pick on a guy who was not taken until the fifth round (Mack Wilson).  They have no idea how real NFL teams rate these players.

I'd feel a lot better about an underperformer if they had any outstanding stats, traits or abilities. 

For example, despite continuously underperforming, John Ross has remained a "potential" player because he has blinding speed.

Hopefully, Sample shows more value in his 2nd NFL season than he has in his entire collegiate and professional career though.
