He was on his way out of the league on the same road as Arrington.
Big whiffa, no batta.
Now, he is one of the best defensive players in the league.
The actual catalyst was Pioli.
If you guys want to tear him down for his faults, at least be fair and credit him with what he has done well.

Except that Arrington was Pro Bowl/All Pro his first three years in the league. It took DJ seven years. So actually they are not the same. One had success out of the gate and the other is finally reaching potential on the backend of his career. Their "on their way out of the league stories" are not the same at all based on their talent level of play.
