He was drafted in the 2nd round. A lot of high hopes for him because he was a player with all the tools.

His first 3 seasons he has struggled, but was still able to hold onto his spot. Penalties, poor technique, his feet have looked slow (although his athleticism brought him to the 2nd round).

I remember last game a compliment the announcers made about Cam Robinson. They basically said if you aren't saying an OL player's name, that usually means they are playing well.

I don't hear his name this year. We have a solid running game and our pass protection has been pretty good.

This is only his 4th year. Still a young player.

The past coaching staffs always liked him and supported him despite his mistakes and the fan's dislike.

We tend to make excuses for many players that haven't played well based on coaching and the general environment that has seemed to be counter productive to their development, but no one seems to think about that when it has come to his development.

He has played well this year and may be making that next step professionally under Pederson.

People have different time frames for their development.

Were we expecting too much too soon, especially considering the environments he was playing under?

Every single coaching staff we have had since drafting him and too have had a much more favorable view of him than the fans.

Fans were almost expecting Walker to take over the position, but he wasn't able to beat him out. (Contrary to some beliefs, coaches play who they think is the best player ).

He has played well this year so far.

Considering the circus around him most of his career and only being 24, do you think we may have judged him too soon?
