To me, I think Hali is a poser who pretty much rationalized failure in a interview a couple of weeks ago, in which he acknowledged his inability to get to the passer and remind us that he can't replace Allen ("as if we didn't already know that" -palin} Either way he doesn't sound nasty enough to me.

There is a huge difference in being physically maxed out with no upside, and having a sky is the limit upside with room to grow and improve...
The Chiefs drafted Hali who was a polished player who had tapped all of his potential already he wasn't getting any better.
It wasn't like drafting a physical freak manchild who had every athletic skill you could ask for and then teaching him technique, you can teach technique and make a athletic freak better, you can't teach a guy who knows technique to have more natural talent.
