There's negativity because he hasn't played up to his draft position. He's had maturity issues, he had "injury" issues, he's had commitment issues, and, mostly importantly, he's had production issues. He gets pushed around like a rag doll at the POA, and he's a virtual zero in the pass rush, something that was supposed to be his strength.

You have people hoping that a change in scheme will do him good. But, then you have professional football scouts coming out and saying that when they watch film on him they don't see him flashing any NFL talent.

There's negativity because there's a good chance we wasted another first round pick on a DL. And, FTR, it's not mutually exclusive. Just because TJ is a bust doesn't mean Amobi isn't one too.
