The game so far has proven too big for him. BUT...I'm not sure that giving the guy some more time isn't a prudent measure before assessing his skill set for this level. Personally, I'm not ready to call the guy a bust.
Trolls are people too.
Its impossible for a 1st yr player to be a bust. maybe an underachiever but a "bust"?? How ignorant.
I do think the 3rd round was too high for him but I can see HALEY wanting his speed for his OFFENSE so he took a shot. Ya win some, ya lose some.
So lets say Bryant was the pick in the 3rd and Archer was the pick in the 4th?? I wouldn't see much complaint so it's really a non issue.

It's an issue to me. This team has a lot of holes and can't afford to waste 3rd round picks on gimmick players. The Archer pick was questionable at the time, to say the least. I considered it bad at the time, but we all hope for the best. Archer was unable to contribute in any meaningful way this year. That was not the expectation. At the very least, he was supposed to field some punt and kick returns, which under the circumstances should not have justified a 3rd round pick. That he could not even do that makes this a pretty clear case.
Mmm'kay...
Well, since he's under contract for the next few seasons, I suppose we'll just have to hope for the best...
Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.
Personally, I would like to see Dri used mainly as a WR.

IMO, the Steelers will find a use for him and aren't going to give up on him just yet, there's actually no reason to give up. He may have been drafted too high, but I think that Haley will find a way to use him and have him be productive. He has already said that he wasn't prepared for the rigors of an NFL season and that he's already in weight room adding muscle and training. He has the right attitude, the Steelers will see a completely different player come August, IMO.
Just because he MAY have been drafted too high isn't a reason to give up on him.
