Leal perhaps not a bust?

the owner of the team disagrees with you.
this isn’t the 70s anymore. If they’re not starting quickly. You’re being left behind,
especially with the rookie salary caps in place.
not starting for 2 years because the great Larry Foote is in front of you ?

It's an hyperbolic myth that defensive players had to wait 3-4 years under LeBeau to contribute.
In 2004 Colclough played some as a rookie, Ike played some as a 2nd year CB, Troy started his HOF arc under LeBeau in his 2nd year.
In 2005 McFadden played as a rookie CB.
In 2007 Timmons and Woodley played as rooks, Woodley was a fulltime starter by his 2nd season.
Oh, did you just mean 3-4 DL? Oh, that's...not any different.
Ziggy played as a rookie, started his 2nd year. Tuitt started 4 games as a rookie, full time starter his 2nd year.
Heyward took a little longer - he's the outlier.Comment

PPG rankings, 2004 - 2014:
1, 3, 11, 2, 1, 12, 1, 1, 6, 14, 18
Slip at the end came as the talent got old and....wait for it....
Rookies had to be inserted into the lineup right away.Comment

They didn't wait "3-4 years" as you said, and LeBeau's defenses were always top notch. If he threw rookies in on day one and the D faltered, same people would blame him.

In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

The desperate need to start rookies is how, Jarvis, Burns, Davis, and Bush happen.
I am willing to draft best available at a loaded position to let a future all pro like Cam ride the pine ON THE LEAGUES NUMBER ONE DEFENSE in scoring AND yardage any day over having to reach for need.Last edited by Captain Lemming; 05-26-2023, 01:33 PM.sigpic
