DB's can sometimes really be weird. I've mentioned this before, I think, on the old HPF forums. I can't think of any other position where a player can be so sucky in the early part of his career and then (sometimes) go on to greatness. Cris Dishman, Charlie Waters and others were toasted early and often at the beginning of their careers but eventually turned it around to become pro-bowl quality players. Not saying JR will become a pro-bowler but he is showing signs of improvement and towards the end of year was able to locate the ball a few times... I saw him use a nice move a few times last season where he would punch the ball just as the receiver was cradling it...
