There is a big difference in thinking a player would be worth a certain price IF DEVELOPED THE RIGHT WAY and having to play right away on one of (if not the worst) talented teams in the entire NFL. The Jets were a ****ing circus in 2012.
The kid had his WTF moments AS ROOKIES ALMOST ALWAYS DO...but he also had some straight up outstanding moments, too.
He had the NFLs second highest total QBR in the final 4 games of the year (Manning was first) and two of those were against Carolina and Cleveland.
Who knows how his career plays out if he is in KC as the backup with guys like Alex and Reid around him every day.

All I'm saying is that the people here who were pimping him and bashing everyone who didn't toe the line need to accept a bit of blowback without crying instead of trying to toss out red herrings like the team drafting Fisher. This probably isn't even a big deal. He apparently got into it with a steward(ess) and the end result was him being off the plane. It's stupid, but it's not the end of the world.
And he sucked ass as a rookie.
