I am not saying that he will never get better, I am only suggesting that he has not lived up to the hype thus far...

KJ has played in 5 regular season games, 4 practice games. On the INT, KJ was in the right spot at the right time - that counts for something. I'd love to pick nits with you over the next couple of hours but I've got better things to do.

I watched Cris Dishman suck for a couple of years before he developed into one of the toughest corners in the league. That's the trouble with the fanbase today - no patience. "We want it now, dammit". You may not like the results but you won't be able to hurry things along. It's like yellin' at the screen in the movie theater - no effect.

I don't whats wrong with Texans fans. Will say anything to prove their point. Chris Dishman? Really?

In my post I complimented KJ for being in the right position. Being in the right position has not been his problem. It has been making a positive play on the ball while he's there that has been the problem. Case in point the goal line TD pass to Nicks and countless others. And no I am not calling him a bust. I am only suggesting that his play has been less than stellar and has been a big reason why our secondary sucks so bad. He needs to get better fast or maybe he should be benched for a game or two. Or maybe playing those soft zone coverages don't suit him very well. Maybe he needs to be in the face of the WR. Whatever the case he needs to get better fast.

And in reference to your Chris Dishman analogy, do you suggest that we we continue to let him be the achilles heel of our defense for 3 or 4 more years then assess him again?

Its OK to think a player could do better. Its apart of being a fan...

Disprove that theory...

Sure it is. And so is venting. And I think you've got that venting part down just fine - In fact, you take it to the next level...
