U mean the same people that backed Vernon? GTFOOH. Go be a uninformed fan somewhere else. When has he ever been a liability. He hasn't he has been solid and will only get better.
I'm with you on this. The few times he has been on the field he's shown promised. He's had some pass rush and I believe tipped a ball or two, not to mention his mad KR return skills...

But seriously, look how long it took for Franklin to come on. What about Soap? That dude came into the league with Alex 5 years ago. I wasn't psyched about the pick, but I dont think he will be a bust and I wouldn't doubt if he becomes a very good (not great) player.
For the record, the only reason I didnt like the pick is because he only had 1 year of really good production in college.
