Anthony Davis is not a bust...Period!

For the casual fan that doesn't realize, Anthony Davis is 22....Thats right 22 years old. He couldn't legally drink alcohol his rookie year. He won't be 23 until early in the season (October) when he'll be starting his 3rd season at right tackle. We drafted him after his Junior year and he entered the league at the spry age of 20. He is a man-child and on his way to being a man. We drafted him for not only his enormous size but his enormous potential. I dont see any reason to think he can't reach the same high ceiling as when we drafted the young man. We knew starting two rookies was full of risks but it paid off, and will continue to do so. 2011 was the best line play wev'e had in over a decade and will only be better this year. I believe Anthony Davis still has the potential to be our best lineman someday.... But that might have to wait until he's say 28....Either way, this kid could play 15 years and still be only 35. He is younger then many of the seniors available in next months draft, can we quiet the bust talk please,

That game made me so proud of our line. Suh and his thug crew talked so much trash and we really stepped up. If we can play like that against 3-4 D's with speed rushing OLBS then we'll continue to get better and better. Davis is good he's just got some areas to shine up that are easily exposed by certain dominant speed rushers.

It's seldom pretty to watch, but he sure is getting there.

i actually think he'd be a better left tackle than he is at right tackle, and vice versa for staley, but no need to rock the boat i suppose
