WHY IS THIS SHIT SO FUCKING HARD TO UNDERSTAND!?!?!?!?

There are differing levels of projects. Obviously everyone has to adjust but some more than others.

It's not a hard concept to grasp. People use the "everyone is a project" defense when they know the player picked is a BIG project but want to make themselves feel better.

You can't tell me that Colin K and Luck would have been the same coming into the league.

You can't tell me AJ Green and AE are the same "project" coming into the league.

Of course you have different levels of "projects" that's why you draft some players in the 1st round and other players in the 7th rd.

The draft is a risk and reward dance for every team, if you think there are any guarantees your fooling yourself.

I think we agree they all need time to adjust and essentially are all projects, also that some are more of a project than others.

but this whole expectation of players needing to be pro-bowlers when they start, or even above average, is a bit ridiculous.

if a guy takes a year to adjust, the popular belief seems to be he'll never amount to anything.. and that's complete bullshit.

      It's still CJ by a wide margin.  BY has closed the gap, but the gap is still considerably large.  Let's not forget CJ was without basically ALL of his weapons in this last game against the Patriots, and I'm pretty sure he had an injury.  BY lost to that same Pats team by like 40 points.  In fairness, a good bit of that was due to the defense.  That said, BY was completely incapable of keeping us in the game.  Mistake free football does not always equal good football.  He still had a bad game.

      Playing QB in this league is tough.  I can't hate on a man's work ethic without knowing exactly what it is.  From everything I've read about him, I seriously doubt his work ethic has dropped.  He had 2 concussions in 2 years, has his OL downgraded, got a different OC, and lost his best weapons due to injury in these short 2 years after his rookie year.  Throw that in with teams having more film on him and the drop-off makes sense.  Maybe he needs to change what he does in the offseason to adapt better, but I doubt he has an issues with work ethic.
