DeDe Dorsey
Ryan Hewitt
Rex Burkhead
Giovanni Bernard (he could have been so much more...)
DeDe Dorsey- Wasn't wasted at all and was given plenty of opportunity; got hurt EVERY SINGLE TIME and the only place he had sustained success was the UFL, when it was the 1 year he wasn't hurt.
Ryan Hewitt- How was his, "talent," wasted? He was used as a FB and to catch passes here and there; he was never better than any other TE on the team and he did dick all after leaving us, is now out of the league.
Rex Burkhead- We used Rex perfectly-fine in 2014/15/16; how much does your 3rd RB get used in the first place? When you have Jeremy Hill leading the league in TDs, Gio-van being the best pass-protecting RB in the game, how many snaps can you afford for your HB3?
Giovanni Bernard (he could have been so much more...)- TF? He's still with the team and is still doing productive things.
If you want to point out SOMEONE we wasted, you have to go back to the 2007 draft, in Matt Teoania; that's the only guy who actually did something after moving on from us, who didn't show what he was capable of in a full season with us.
A post so out of touch with reality...
