There were questions about LVE dating back to his days at Boise State. Some teams took him off their draft board, yet our Boys made him their first round pick in '18 and he went on to lead the team in tackles with 176 and make the Pro Bowl as a rookie.
He is currently second on the Boys in tackles in '19 with 87, trailing only middle linebacker ole Jaylon Smith. That said, the kid plays hard and he's going to have injuries just as Lee.
A neck injury is very serious and takes time to heal. You just don't cut players that you've just drafted due to a serious injury. Especially ones with those kind of numbers.
As far as the "dead weight", teams very rarely hand out pink slips during the season. No worries, Jerry has a stack of them already on his desk.
Trust me, I am in total agreement with everything you said, but my main point was pertaining to the organization coddling players, and spewing rhetoric.
I hope that LVE gets 100% healthy, and return to his pro-bowl status.
