What a dumb post. Did I ever say anything like this? People are already calling him a bust and I'm saying he's had good performances and might still have potential. I never said he's played well this year.
1) Is it what is being asked of him (low glamour, high team importance tasks)?
2) Is he being used improperly or not to maximize his abilities?
3) Is he playing through some undisclosed injury?
4) Is it the level of competition (only excels against lesser competition)?
5) Does he not have drive / commitment to excel at the NFL level?
Too soon to know the answers to these questions, but unless it’s one or more of 1) through 3), he may not play up to his draft position / expectations.

You’re posting that he had a random good game last year without any other context. How are we supposed to glean what your point was?

Pretty clear my point wasn't he's been good this year since last year isn't this year.
What is he at this point? Number one pick…what is he?
What his strength, I don’t see one so far this season.
Is he a threat to any offense?
I hope he has 3 sacks on Monday but I think that a pipe dream.

What is he? He's supposed to be a positionless player, a jack of all trades, a threat to open things up for others. I don't like it myself but that's how Wink operates.
I still have hope he comes on and is a legit overall player
He may not be a superstar ever but if he is say well above average and at times a force well at least he wouldn't be a bust. He has the physical raw skills and intelligence but may lack the lower leg power to be special.

Agree....Imagine what people would've said if Michael Strahan was a first round top 10 pick. He wasn't but he was a second rd pick!! Let's hold off on defining him by 3 games this year. He played really well post injury last year. Not worried about him. Now Evan Neal....I'm concerned. :)
There is no angle where this pick looks good right now.
I do agree that the entire D looks lousy now, which is shocking IMO. I have a high regard for Wink and this defensive staff. Surprised and disappointed in the product.
I genuinely don't understand the point of this thread.
If so.. I am aligned, sir. He had a good game. Maybe even two or three!
Yeah, I mean, talk about low expectations.
This is why, though many posters ridiculed it, the Thibodeaux/Lorenzo Carter thread made some sense. Not that they were similar talents or anything, but every year Carter was here he'd have a few games where he looked great. His backers would whoop it up and proclaim him to have arrived....and then he'd go back into invisibility mode for a long time.
We know Thibodeaux had a dominant game against Washington. The question is, why hasn't he come anywhere near that level of play this season?

Bust!

The worst with Carter was when people got excited over "sacks" in the no contact summer practices. He was credited with something like 6 sacks in 1 scrimmage where he didn't even have to touch the QB.

Ive had enough of this BS defense. Line up in a traditional 3-4 defense. Play two gap with three down linemen.
Stop the run. Blitz the qb.
Lets stop over thinking things and let the players play.
