This article is fantastic and as noted by others, I don't think a lot of Chief fans actually WATCH what goes on on the field. Derrick Johnson has been an inconsistent player since he was drafted.
IT'S NOT THE COACHING STAFF
IT'S NOT THE SCHEME
He's just an inconsistent player. Who gives a shit what he did at Texas, this isn't the big 12. He's just not that great, and he never will be. And he's not going to go someplace else and become some pro bowl/all pro player. He doesn't have the make up to be that kind of player. He doesn't. He isn't a great tackler, he doesn't have great instincts and doesn't even take good angles to the ball carrier.
I have never gotten why some fans here think this guy is one of the best linebackers on the roster. Draft status? That's years ago now. He is what he is, an inconsistent player even on his best days. He'll be gone after this season and hopefully Belcher will move into the starting line up soon and we'll grab someone this offseason to replace Vrabel or at least push he and Studebaker for playing time/starting time.
