You are aware that's an argument FOR me right? I'd like to have seen more/better play before presuming he can be that guy year 2..and again, I hope he does get there next year.

Because they had one of the better 3T in the league still... You really expected them to bench Malik for a raw rookie straight out of the gate huh? That's really your argument?

What? I don't know how you took any of that from what I just said. 

Bryan was never going to contribute or play alot as a rookie. Before I'm comfortable with him as the main source of interior pressure I'd like to see him doing it first i.e without actually seeing him do it we don't know if he can be it yet. His rookie year gave us tiny flashes of his AA but that's about it. 

I don't get the opposition to not being totally sold on Bryan being a good pass rusher in a key role in year 2 based on everything we've seen. We all knew he's a raw pass rusher who would take time to develop when we drafted him.
