Now a fairly significant part of that isn't necessarily his fault (out of whack rookie contracts, the knee, the Chiefs being largely terrible....cancer), but fault isn't the issue here.
Sum total, paying $60 million for 3 1/2 seasons of SS play (in 5 years) on a .500 football team is probably not a great allocation of resources. I was so amped about the pick and thought the guy was going to be the lynchpin of a turnaround but I think ultimately the returns on the pick have to be considered pretty unimpressive.

Exactly all of this. IMO, he's great in run support, but a liability against the pass. Maybe he was good in the 2013 season, but I'm not so sure. Abdullah seems to do the job very well.
Some want him covering deep, but I really like Ron Parker back there.
