So what is Cine's deal? Still not there physically? Bynum has stepped up and now we have a log jam of talented safeties blocking his playing time? Or did we spend a first round pick on this guy only to find out he sucks at football once he got in camp?

Cine's deal is that he is bad. Even though our safeties are very good, that is no excuse for a first-round pick not to see the field in at least a rotational fashion. Theo Jackson was a 6th-round pick the same year Cine was drafted and is getting playing time over him. 

People need to stop using Cine's injury as an excuse. It has been a year and several months since that injury. He wasn't getting playing time before the injury, either.

How does our Gm and scouting whiff that badly? Drafting a 1st round pick that is only average or below. Fine. Happens to everyone. But how do you draft 1st round pick that is so bad in practice that he cant even get on the field at all during games?

Our GM was inexperienced.

Even if he wasn't, he wouldn't be the only GM to swing and miss in the first round.  It isn't all that uncommon. Projecting college players to the NFL is tough.

IMO, it's better to swing hard in case you hit it and occasionally miss than chopping singles leaving no chance for a home run.

This offseason may be the time, however, that the GM needs to show he is willing to cut his losses instead of gifting Cine a roster spot simply because he was drafted high. KAM ought to make Cine earn the roster spot. 

I hope Cine responds be earning it even though he has given no reason to have faith that he will.

Also Vikes fans: "Cine hasn't played yet, so he obviously sucks. Cut him and fire Kwesi."

That's about right.  Cine obviously sucks because he's behind Theo Jackson and Jay Ward on the depth chart.  😉

For obvious reasons though.
