He could like Okudah and be wrong and still be skeptical of CJ Henderson and be right.

Now if there were an Okudah thread where he recently refused to trash him for poor play, your Okudah reference here would be more persuasive.

Truth be told I don't think anyone wants this to even be an issue.  Putting aside our pre draft preferences, I think we all want him to succeed wildly for us.

Right now, however, the prospects of this happening seem increasingly dim.

I said I'd just visit but bullseye I know you see the trend.  Most in this thread are concerned with a down rookie yr with injuries and only 1 great game.  It's yr 2 and he's not mentally 100% an trade rumors are flying as normal with player absence.  Him succeeding is usually a 3 to 4 yr evaluation period but most here are done with his 8 game rookie yr.  The narrative is pretty clear about who wants him to succeed.  Although, it does sounds about right for the safe zone comment of, "we want him to succeed as we do all  jags players."  Fans gonna fan tho

extra sarcasm:  I wish most had this same energy when they wanted foles. Waste of time, money, n roster space, bit I digress.

With Henderson, there is just too much surrounding this kid. It was the poor tackling red flags that he had coming into the draft, the body language he showed when he was drafted, the great first game he had and then the terrible play which followed, the injury and then the rumors which have been swirling around his supposed mental health issues. There's just so much. Usually when there is this much smoke, there's a fire. Trust me, I'd love to be wrong about him. I HATE wasting 1st round draft picks. It drives me insane! I want Henderson and Chaisson both to succeed, even though I was vehemently opposed to both picks. Worse than anything else, I hate seeing my team constantly losing, because of a lack of talent. I want to draft talented, young players which can pull this team out of the depths of despair that we've been in for decades. If that means admitting I was wrong about a player, so be it. I'm rooting for Henderson and Chaisson, but I'm also a realist and I just haven't seen anything yet that makes me believe these two were worthy of where they were taken. I sincerely hope they prove me wrong this season. I wanna start winning or at least getting to a respectable .500 record. I'm tired of losing.
