I've learned to take the talking heads with a grain of salt.. First there were reports that he didn't want to be here anymore, which of course, got posters riled up. Then we learned that coaches had to drag him out of his home for practice. Then we learned that he lost some family members, which is why he was dealing with some mental trauma (which is 100% understandable). Posters were reacting as these "news sources" were coming out, one at a time..

And from what we seen from last Saturday night, dude looks really good and should be formidable on this team. The problem is the relay of information about the situation to the fans.. I swear, some of that [BLEEP] was made up for clicks, and that "journalist" should be drug out of his home and given a soap beating..

I don't consider him a bust at all..

I have to agree.  We don't really know what's going on with the guy.  We're only reacting to rumors, and we're jumping to all sorts of conclusions.  After reading all the rumors, I was naturally very surprised to see him playing against Cleveland, and even more surprised to see him playing well.   Based on all the rumors, I was thinking he was another Justin Blackmon.   One of the local scribes even said on the radio, something like, he won't play another down for the Jaguars.  And yet, the very next day, he was out there playing, and playing well.   So who knows?  Maybe he'll bust, and maybe he won't.  We don't know enough for sure to just write him off.
