Daniel Sorensen Is A Liability

I cannot fathom why he continues to see the field over Thornhill.

It reminds me of when Jerome Woods hit the wall. He broke his leg, then came back, had one good season, then was terrible forever.

Even that one good season had a whole lot of fan hopes/dreams behind it.

Everyone liked Woods and that broken leg was pretty gnarly. We wanted to see him succeed so badly. But I'm pretty sure he had 2 big plays that year, one on a deflected pass and one when a receiver fell down. He was clearly a step slow and needed fortunate breaks to make an impact, even in that 'good' comeback season.

And that was to be expected. He was in his 30s and coming off a major lower body injury. Of course he was going to decline. Like Sorensen in 2020, there's a pretty decent chance he was cooked even in his comeback year. He was just in the right place at the right time a few times, so we overlooked it until the following season when those breaks stopped coming and it was obvious he wasn't a player anymore.
