I agree. If Mazi was a 5th rounder he’d be benched or at least we would be looking for his replacement. He’s a 1st rounder and that’s the main reason he’s been given so much patience. This is one thing I HATE about Jerry. Just admit he’s not what we were looking for. Trade, replace, or look to upgrade. Take the loss in the media and make the team better.
A couple days ago when we were trading our 5th and 6th rounders for former 1st rounders I had the ironic thought that if Mazi was drafted by another team he might be on our team this year because another GM would be looking to unload him for a draft pick.
I got nothing against Mazi as long as we get another adequate player that we can rotate in and just have fresh guys in the trenches. Planning for Mazi to be a 17 game starter and first stringer is a recipe for disaster. At this point he just hasn’t shown it.
