He's a good lead blocker, carries out his assignments and has a repetoire with our most important player.... And we're paying him less than a million. Seems like a great signing to me.

That's why they will get all excited about some UDFA when they see a you tube video showing him making some great plays that were cherry picked from over his entire career or at least an entire season. Pretty much every college athlete with half the talent to be in the NFL will have half a dozen of those plays and you can put together a HL reel for any of them.

That's why they get all excited when a player makes two or three great plays in the preseason and yet can't seem to find the field during the regular season. They don't see what the coaches see in practice every day which is what probably matter more than the occasional fluke big play especially when it comes against guys who will be looking for work once the season starts.

Granted not all fans feel or act this way, some can see around it but for many its the big plays that make the guy talented.
