One of the most maddening things about NFL punditry, from media and fans alike, is the rush to write a player off. Too many show too little patience, especially with young players who are usually making the adjustment from being one of the two or three most talented guys on the field at all times to taking the field with the absolute best.
And it's not just the adjustment to the pro game or a new playbook that comes into play; there's a litany of off-field things a rookie finds himself navigating, usually for the first time.
Some guys move through it all seamlessly, but they should be the exception, not the expectation.
