To me, I see the stereotypical stupid jock. Now, I don't think he's an idiot, but it's clear that he struggles to maintain "GM speak" in front of the mic; he fumbles around so damn much that he makes me feel embarrassed for him.

He clearly wasn't worth where he was drafted but he did a decent job at what he was asked to do. I also saw some flashes of something better when he has a chance to be more aggressive. He's not worth 14 million per but i would be interested to see what he can do in a 1-gap at something like 4 million per. I doubt he takes a cut like that though so he will probably be gone.

If T-Jax were a 3rd round pick, he'd have been an adequate pick. Not a good one, but an adequate one. Laz is right - he didn't totally suck (all the time), but he damn sure wasn't good either. He's one of those replaceable players that you look to upgrade but every team has (even the good ones).
That's why you try to re-structure him. In the end, however, if you can't get him to agree to a market rate for an average DE, you cut him and go sign another DE at the market rate for that ability. He's not a guy you worry about one way or the other. "Tyson - this is what we'll pay you" "No, I won't take a paycut" "Okay...well we're gonna need your playbook" It's not a decision that worries me in the slightest. Either he'll take a cut to the market rate for this position and ability or he won't and we'll bring someone in here that makes sense for that contribution. Works for me.

Pioli used to talk about wanting the coach to be the face, but that was disingenuous bullshit; he wanted the accolades and attention. Dorsey's ineptitude with the mic obviates this potential problem. |

You hope that Dorsey is a personnel savant, because he's probably not speaking at the Sloan Kettering conference any time soon.
