But why not forget draft status. Look at undrafted free agent Adam Thielen. Had a total of 20 receptions over his first two seasons. Then over the next three he averaged 91 for 1205 yds.
I wonder what the snap comparison was between Thielen and Jordan?
If Jordan hadn't been getting snaps, I wouldn't understand the bitching. But, he has played - a lot - and was horrific. Not just bad. Not just ok. But he was trash. I think the biggest concern is that it would be incredibly unwise to hitch your wagon to a very questionable horse if said horse was given 2 years to show he can pull the wagon. Especially NOT with Joey B coming back from a serious injury... that said horse played a major part in causing. This isn't a Steinbach, a very good player, having 1 bad snap leading to a QB injury. This was a trash player getting tossed aside like trash. Everyone saw it coming.... but the Bengals.
Andre Smith was crapped on for a lot of unfair reasons, most of which seemed (inexplicably) personal. I don't think that's the case with Jordan.
