Consider, I could easily find a super close athletic comp for Ty Summers who was really successful in the NFL, and yet pointing it out would mean exactly nothing for Summers' chances of becoming a good player this far into his career. And again, I would disagree. Many (most?) analysts noted the knock on Douglas coming out of college that his speed and COD were lacking and could be problems. I don't need to make a whole thing of this. I agree with your basic point-- he's a "better than nothing" signing mid-season. But I'm just pushing back on the idea that he's always had "the talent" and it just hasn't manifested. Most people who studied him in college pointed to the exact weaknesses that have caused him to fail in the pro's.</blockquote>
